By Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer
NIGEL Adkins admitted he felt Saints could have got three points after playing for so long against ten men at West Ham but was content with a draw.
Saints were under massive pressure at the start of the game and eventually fell behind from the penalty spot but, with Matt Taylor sent off in the melee that followed the award of the spot kick, Adkins’ men had a chance to overtake the Hammers and leapfrog them into first place.
However, after taking until 75 minutes to bag an equaliser, Adkins was left to reflect that four points against West Ham over the season was a good haul.
He said: “There were some interesting decisions for the officials to make and the linesman has backed the referee up as well and I think the linesman’s given the first penalty.
“In the cold light of day we’ve gone 1-0 down from a penalty and we’ve had good opportunities over the course of the game to go and win it and we had to break down the opposition who have defended resolutely throughout the game.
“I’m sure they were happy to get the point whereas you think with us having the extra man on the pitch for a longer period of time and the chances we did present we would probably turn round and say we didn’t get the three points that we wanted.
“But you look at the start of the season and if we could take four points from them you would probably think that was a good haul of points.”
In a cracking game full of incident, both managers were disagreeing about refereeing decision, albeit Adkins was remaining typically diplomatic.
He did however confess he didn’t believe the West Ham penalty should have been given and Saints should have got one for a second half handball.
“He never touched him. My view on the pitch was it wasn’t a penalty,”
said Adkins, whose side remain a point behind West Ham with the Hammers boasting a game in hand.
“I’ve tried to look at the video but the two angles I’ve looked at are inconclusive but does suggest he didn’t touch him.
“In my opinion it was not a penalty.”
He added: “The referee has made a call and he’s not seen a handball that I thought was a clear handball when Jose Fonte got in a header and I’m the only one jumping up and down.
“I’ve seen the video and it’s a clear penalty for us and the referee and the officials have not seen that.
“Sam was appealing for a couple of penalties as well which I didn’t see so I was unaware of those.
“I’ve asked a few questions and one might have been and one definitely wasn’t so the officials have had an interesting evening.”

west ham were the better team with 11 men.we were the better team against 10 men.i took a point at the start so overall happy chappie.people will moan that we should of won and the ref got things wrong.but the ref gets only one chance if no backing from linesman.i will also add lallana diving in the box so blatantly could off been straight red in my eyes don;t like seeing that in the game.

As is often the case the summation of the commentary and the texts on Solent was slightly on the negative side ie "a good point but disappointing."
Of course with hindsight some things would be done differently - though even then you never know what the consequences might have been.
Consequences are astonishingly complex things. A mate was telling me the other night about various things he would have done differently in his youth. I reminded him that had he done so, the trillions to one chances of his particular two children being born would have fallen differently. He may have had other children, but not those two - the two he treasures more than anything else in his life.
On a bad night we'd have conceded the penalty and Taylor wouldn't have been daft enough to get sent off.
On a bad night Kelvin would have missed one of the two great saves he made.
On a bad night Hooi would have just missed his goal and Maynard would have just netted his late attempt.
So in my book this wasn't a bad night. The result determines that and it was a good result. Same goes with my mate and his great two kids.

IMO, We could have been a bit louder at the game last night as the collective supporters? Maybe some of were scared that we may lose! But great to see the masses again! Best following in the football league!!!!

Lol at all WH fans thinking our support was crap Tuesday night. The only atmosphere they made was when they pumped music through their speakers and sang bubbles at the start and after half time!! Thought the SFC followers were in great numbers and good voice, OWTS was belted out well as were some other songs and we more than outsung them one song ponies. All in all a good point.

One of their critical weaknesses is that they cannot afford to get Red Cards or even a stack of Yellows ...
There should be money to be made on betting against pompey in the remaining games of the Season - cos if sides in the Championship raise their game against them - then I cannot see pompey picking up that many more points and then on top of that they have the points deduction ......
(and why shouldn't they - all the footballing clubs are stick of pompey and their antics and agreed that fratton park is number 1 sh1thole ....)
E-I-E-I-E-I-O
DOWN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE - pompey go ...
This is no bad thing for pompey cos they can enhance their reputation as footballing thugs by beating up bore-mouth or some other small fry club.
Fingers crossed they might even meet plymouth in League Two - if all goes well.

THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON ARE FIGHTING FOR AUTOMATIC PROMOTION IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
NIGEL MUST CONTINUE TO WORK EXTREMELY HARD ON HIS HOMEWORK TACTICS AND THE LADS ON THE TRAINING GROUND.
HE MUST SELECT HIS STRONGEST TEAM AND CHOOSE FROM HIS ARMY OF STRIKERS CORRECTLY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.

Someone on The News site approached the FA about the Pompey player shortage situation, their reply was "that they couldn't comment". I find this strange because when we were having our problems I was constantly in touch with the FA on the situation and they always responded with positive replies to my questions, not always answering the question, but at least informative throughout.
