BURNLEY boss Owen Coyle is desperate to replicate the scenes at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Palace celebrated a remarkable achievement, earning a play-off place with a fifth-place finish, after Neil Warnock took the side from second-bottom in November.
The Burnley manager said: "I've said to the players, if they've got any desire, any ambition about them, that atmosphere we've come off in, that's what they should be striving for next season.
"That's the atmosphere we want to have at Turf Moor, but to do that you have to win football games and not give away silly goals.
"Nobody wants to be at somebody else's party.
"They've worked hard, there's no getting away from that, so that's the nature of football.
"That's why you have to make sure you're at your best.
"The second goal, we had possession and gave it away cheaply. The third goal we had two men back on the line instead of picking the lad up and he scores from two yards.
"Crystal Palace were very clinical, there's no doubt about it.
"Their finishing was top level, and if they finish like that in the play-offs, then they'll take some stopping."
