The 2011-12 campaign was a season of frustrating inconsistency for Burnley as The Clarets secured a mid-table finish, ending up 13th in the Championship after their promotion challenge faded quickly. The attack was potent, led by the emerging partnership of Charlie Austin, who notched 16 crucial league goals, and the sensational homegrown talent Jay Rodriguez, who netted 21 goals across all competitions. It was a season of stark contrasts, defined by an excellent away record of ten wins, one of the club's best in history, which unfortunately masked a disappointing home form at Turf Moor, ultimately marking a transitional chapter under manager Eddie Howe.
