Southampton Goes Down By Two

This must have been a very disappointing start for Nigel Pearson as his team lost by two goals in a match against Plymouth. The action took place at St. Mary’s. This was their first victory to the saints in 34 years. In the initial half of the game, Southampton displayed some talent but eventually went down after 31 minutes when Halmosi converted a pass from Nalis. Plymouths definitely have a reason to enjoy and celebrate.

The second half saw Southampton losing on all corners and some how lacked the required energy, thus giving themselves to the Plymouth. Things really went out of hand when Paterson scored a long range goal of just two minutes after Halmosi made it through Kelvin Davis to post in the goal. Paterson had joined the club in January and this was his first Pilgrims goal. This particular match saw the lowest ever Saints fans and they showed their concern as Davis managed to make a tremendous save from Jermaine Easter. Had Jermaine landed that goal they would have leaded the game by three goals.

The defeat would have been more humiliating for Nigel Pearson and would have been a better win for the Plymouth. Southampton however tried to make a comeback in the game but their steam didn’t last long and Plymouth had already secured their win. Perhaps, Pearson should concentrate more on the team rather than thinking over his defeat to Plymouth. The fans themselves are quite concerned about the team’s current situation.
