Coyle targets play-off push

Burnley boss Owen Coyle has urged his players to build on their progress this season by reaching the play-offs next term.

The Clarets flirted with a play-off place in the early part of the season and Coyle hopes that witnessing the final-day celebrations at Crystal Palace will spur on his side for next season.

The Clarets lost 5-0 at Selhurst Park as the Eagles booked their play-off place in style.

Coyle said: "We gave away possession time and again but Palace were very clinical. They are in the play-offs and that tells it's own story.

"That atmosphere that we have just seen was incredible. I've told the players that if they have any ambition and desire they will strive to have that at Turf Moor next season.

"I've told them in the dressing room to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again, whether it's the last game of the season or not."
