Pearson happy with first point

SAINTS boss Nigel Pearson was happy to come away with a point against ten-man Scunthorpe after a late penalty from Gregory Vignal.
It emerged after the game the spot kick was awarded for Andy Butler's tug on Stern John.
Vignal's finish from the spot salvaged a draw against ten-man Scunthorpe - and gave Pearson his first point as Saints boss.
Pearson said: "It was always going to be a difficult game.
"I think really to sum up my first week it's certainly been tough. The players have been a bit low on confidence and it was important to come here and try and be slightly more organised than Tuesday night. From that you have a foundation to build on.
"I said to the players "don't get carried away, it's a point" but it's a difficult place to come, they're scrapping for their lives.
"We're off to a start and we face a difficult end to the season and how we move on will give us a better picture of where we're at."
Andy Crosby gave the hosts the lead with a follow-up to his own spot kick five minutes before half-time before the officials played a decisive second-half role.
First the referee sent off Matt Sparrow and late on one of his linesmen spotted an offence in the area that gave Gregory Vignal the chance to score from the spot and grab a valuable draw in a game Saints could barely have afforded to lose.
Saints threatened two minutes into the game when Vignal curled in a left footed right wing free kick that evaded everybody and drifted just wide of the far post.
Scunthorpe's first opening came on seven minutes when they won a free kick 25 yards out to the right of centre but it was fired straight into the wall by Ian Morris.
The home team should have taken the lead on 12 minutes.
Saints didn't clear a ball into the area and, after appeals for a penalty from Jack Cork after a tackle by Andrew Davies were waved away, Kelvin Davis made a stop in a melee before the ball came back out to Cork who mishit his shot over the bar from eight yards when he should have scored.
It was certainly a cagey opening to the game, Scunthorpe having to defend a strong breeze and both teams looking understandably edgy.
But it was in the final third that things really weren't happening for either side.
There were periods of neat interplay and passing from the back and through the midfield but when it came to that killer ball or shot in the final third both sides looked short of confidence.
Davis had to be alert on 24 minutes to dive to his left to save Martin Paterson's effort from 20 yards out.
Vignal became the first player in the book on 27 minutes for a trip on Morris.
Saints were conceding a lot of needless free kick around the edge of their own box but were fortunate the delivery from Morris was so poor.
Pearson's side were too often just lumping the ball forward aimlessly and were showing little sign of much invention to break Scunthorpe down.
In fairness the home side were only a little better in what had been a very poor first half all round. But they were thrown a lifeline when they were awarded a penalty.
Saints couldn't quite get a corner clear and as Paterson tracked across the area with the ball Jhon Viafara brought him down.
On 40 minutes Crosby ran up to take the spot kick but Davis got down to his right to save it but the ball just came back out into the path of Crosby who made no mistake the second time round and made it 1-0.
That proved to be the decisive moment of the half and when the referee blew his whistle to end the first 45 minutes Scunthorpe went into the break with something to defend and Saints with it all to do.
Scunthorpe made a change at half time with Izzy Iriekpen replacing Jack Hobbs.
The home side thought they had scored a second when Sparrow finished from close range after Davis spilled the ball but the flag had long been up and there were few protests.
Saints at least managed to get a shot on target on 52 minutes when Stern John hit a volley from just inside the box that was well struck but straight at Joe Murphy.
The game took a dramatic twist on 54 minutes when the referee John Moss sent off Sparrow. He went in for a challenge with Wayne Thomas, both benches were appealing but the referee decided Sparrow's challenge was over the ball with a stamp and showed him the red card.
Suddenly Saints had all the impetus they needed to push on and try and rescue the game.
Pearson tried to capitalise by bringing on Adam Hammill for Andrew Surman on 57 minutes.
Scunthorpe were initially doing a decent job of containing Saints and weren't without any attacking ambition themselves.
Scunthorpe made a change to try to keep Saints busy at the back with Jonathan Forte on for Geoff Horsfield on 67 minutes.
As things got a little heated in the match Hammill was booked for dissent.
Pearson made a second switch to try to get a goal with Bradley Wright-Phillips replacing Thomas on 70 minutes. Jermaine Wright switched to right back as Saints went to a 4-3-3 formation.
Inigo Idiakez tried an outrageous chip from 25 yards but the ball just landed into the arms of Murphy.
Saints were really struggling to put Scunthorpe under a sustained spell of pressure and you felt if they could manage that then there would be something for them in the game.
Pearson made a final switch on 79 minutes with Mario Licka replacing Viafara.
Hammill cut in from the left and tried a right footed shot but fired it wide of the far post.
Licka was the next to try from distance as he hit a terrific shot from 25 yards that took a deflection and flew just wide.
As the game went into the final minutes Saints were finally making their man advantage count and Scunthorpe were desperately defending in their own area.
There was an incredible moment five minutes from time as Saints were awarded a penalty.
Nobody, including the referee, saw the incident but the linesman flagged. The referee went and spoke to his assistant and gave the penalty but nobody seemed sure quite why.
But it didn't matter for Saints as Vignal stepped up and buried it in Murphy's bottom left hand corner sending the keeper the wrong way and making it 1-1.
Scunthorpe made a late change with Ben May replacing Paterson.
Saganowski had a chance to win it for Saints in injury time when he was picked out by Licka. It was a difficult chance as he controlled and immediately half volleyed but it was a long way off target.
Wright-Phillips had a terrific opportunity as he beat the offside trip, skipped round the keeper but put the ball into the side netting.

I for one detest the low level responses and inane tripe that is dished up by their ilk.
If we ignore them they might just go away to the hovel in which they watch their "local" team play, the one that resembles a scrapyard in Fratton.

I am, however, tempted to say that when you make comments like, 'I for one detest the low level of (responses and) inane tripe etc. I wonder why you visit SMS!
To have the odd load of tripe dished up, is something that happens at every club, but the league tables do not lie, and neither do the comments by you fellow customers on these pages, and I cannot recall any of them complementing the team on their performances!
Whilst sitting in my car, listening to Football First, before walking to FRATTON PARK, THE HOME OF THE ONLY PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB ON THE SOUTH COAST, I was most interested to hear what Dave Merrington had to say about your plight! Strange as it may seem, the conclusion that he had arrived at, was the one that I have stated on these pages.
Selling quality players, and replacing them with those of lesser quality.
Sending, probably the club's best two players, out on loan, to save on wages, rather than keep them to help the club's fight against relegation!
Like me, and possibly you, he wondered where all the cash that had been raised by selling players, had disappeard to!
Ignore what I write by all means!
Ignore the points that I raise, by all means!
Ignore the fact that your club is taking you for a ride, that is your perogative!
If any of the comments I have made on here have not got a ring of truth about them, then I guess that Dave Merrington, who probably has more football insight than either of us, must also have been talking out of his rear end!

Then we should start to judge.
I FOR ONE AM NOT A PEARSON FAN BUT THE TROUBLE WE ARE IN WE DO NEED TO GET BEHIND THE TEAM AND HOPEFULLY THE SUMMER WILL BRING STRONG INVESTMENT AND A NEW MANAGER BUT IN THE MEANTIME LETS TRY A STICK TOGETHER TO GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION COYR

We gave Dodd and Gorman a good run, and what did they do? NOTHING!
We have given Pearson a good run, and what has he done? NOTHING!
I think that we have been patient long enough!
WHO SHALL WE HAVE AS MANAGER FOR THE NEXT FEW GAMES?
The only consistency we have had, is that we are consistently changing managers!
How the hell do you think strong investment will be attracted to the club?
If you believe that we are an attractive proposition, then I guess you still believe in the Tooth Fairy, Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny!
The trouble we are in is because the club is being run by people like you!

I seem to recall that Lawrie Mac, aka Big Mac aka Super Mac aka Burger King was given the Freedom of the City last year.
In most cities, with that honour goes the priviledge of being able to 'drive your sheep through the streets of the city'!
I wonder whether it is him that is leading the 'stains sheep' to the SMS slaughter house.
Certainly, the sheep do enough BLEATING about, the Directors, The Managers, The Team (and I question the term!) and about the spectators in various sections of the ground!

Nothing constructive!
Nothing amusing!
Nothing of help to your struggling football club!
In fact, a nothing person!
I wonder how soon before he 'reverts to type' and fills the column with a lot of 'o's to indicate his IQ? Or perhaps some other letter, which is his 'letter of the day'! Paul Gasgoigne has been diagnosed as having a serious mental problem and is receiving treatment!
It is a pity that you are not an ex-footballer Ric, as then the FA would see that you were also well cared for!
GET WELL SOON!

Yes the were hopless punts up field, and yes we didn't have too many worthwhile shots, but the players were actually playing as a team and Pearson actually looks as though he gives a ****, Unlike George Burley. Ian Pearce also looked like a good signing and shock horror to all those so called fans who wanna boo certain players, Jermaine Wright also had a good game. The funny thing about that is, he always seems to play better when we play away, I think that may have something to do with, when we go away, the true fans out number the ones who just go to moan at the players, unlike at home when the mojority of the crowd likes to get on players backs.

Intelligent, because you have moved away from Southampton.

I remember that, when I went to school, the teachers could teach, but some of the pupils could not, or didn't want to learn!
If the current 'Teacher' is a good teacher, why didn't we win against 'ten man' Scunthorpe?
If the 'pupils' are either 'slow learners' or 'don't want to learn', how long do we have to wait before some of the pupils are expelled, and we recruit pupils who are willing to learn, if only on a temporary basis?
Learn to win AGAIN! How long will we have to wait? Will it be in Division 1? Has anyone got any ideas?

I would never condemn a manager after two or three games, using a squad that he has inherited, and may not be capable of playing the type or style of football that they would like.
Do you think that Hoddle, Souness or even Alex Fercusson could change this squad into 'world beaters' after two games? They could not do it in Two Years!

Would I be correct?

I would never condemn a manager after two or three games, using a squad that he has inherited, and may not be capable of playing the type or style of football that they would like. Do you think that Hoddle, Souness or even Alex Fercusson could change this squad into 'world beaters' after two games? They could not do it in Two Years!

Thank you Sailor Sam. Any Saint's fan that has been similarly offensive I also would describe as obnoxious. Now have you been able to find, beg or borrow a copy of Golding's book or are you and your friends so poorly read that you do not have a copy and must rush off to the library on Monday to see what it is about?
I don't know where you got that idea from, because it is not something that I have ever claimed!
I have not read, heard of or have any interest in reading the book that you are reading at the moment.
In the past I have read a number of books about both RN and MN, many written by people who's sea-time was the equivalent of commuting from the Isle of Wight!
As said previously, I have served my time, and so am able to differentiate between fact and fiction - something that a good many people, who have never been to sea, appear unable to do!
They work on the principle that, if it is sordid, then believe it!
If you want to read an interesting book, try and get hold of 'One Man Band' by Ben Bryant, a submarine skipper during WW2, and compare it with what you are now reading!

Sailor Sam your history is not up to much is it. How do you think all those early settlers got to Australia? Don't beat about the bush Sailor Sam start answering the question. Tell us about the book.
I may be old, BUT I AM NOT THAT OLD!
If you had bothered to read my answer when you last raised the question about 'THE BOOK that appears to be dominating your life at present, you would see that
I DON'T KNOW IT
I DON'T KNOW THE AUTHOR
I HAVE NO INTENTION OF READING IT
If, as your note suggests, it is all about the transportation of criminals to Australia, I would be interested to know what 'FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE' the author is basing the book on?
I imagine that it is written by someone who has gleaned bits and pieces from other people's work, and scattered documents, then spiced it up to tittivate the reader!
You get the same sort of thing in the News of the World!
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!
Had it ever crossed your mind that conditions of service have changed since the days of sail?
I know that, as far as football goes, you are living in the past, but the RN and MN have moved with the times!

Why do we see so many Pompey posts on this site? Yes you do have a better team - for once. You do have better players and play in the Premier League - for once. Do you not have your own site, or do you secretly have some affection for the Saints? You seem to waste so much energy talking about them if not. To all those Saints fans who continuously boo my beloved club and write garbage on this site. I wish I had the money to buy a season ticket for me and my little boy. We would give that team our full support. We can not change who the manager is or how the club is run, all we can do is get behind the team, or we will see them in League one. If you don't want your season ticket, give it to someone who will get behind the team! COME ON YOU REDS! - no matter what.

Thank goodness for that Chris. I was really getting worried about the old salty sea dog. It would help me plan an appropriate programme of recovery for him if you could tell if he is a real Sailor or if that is all in his mind. We must do all we can to help him for he is in a bad way.
Don't know what to do about the old sailor, but at least he does seem to possess a degree of intelligence way above that of many posters here, and that applies to both red and blue so called fans.
My guess is that SS is a retired Royal Navy chappie or chapess, probably having served the full 22 years or so, as I did in the Army. That's my guess anyway. I am prepared to put up with him, as he does have some poignant things to say now and then, but I just wish he wouldn't keep on baiting us like he does. Doesn't show him in a very good light really, but I doubt that we will change that.
