They were managed by Stan Ternent in his fifth full season since he replaced Chris Waddle at the beginning 1998–99 campaign. Season summary Four straight losses at the beginning of the season saw Burnley bottom of the First Division, before a ten-match unbeaten run lifted the Clarets to the brink of the play-off places. However, that would be as good as it got for the Lancashire club, who spent most of the season hovering in mid-table. A poor finish to the season – 10 losses in the club's final 14 matches – saw them fall to 16th.http://www.statto.com/football/teams/burnley/2002-2003 Burnley 2002-2003 Home - statto.com 13 November 2012 2 October 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121002005517/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/burnley/2002-2003 live Burnley's downfall was their poor defence, which was the worst in the league: 5 goals conceded against Reading, 6 against Grimsby and Rotherham, 7 against Sheffield Wednesday and Watford, and 89 overall, the worst in the First Division and third-worst in the entire Football League.
