Striker Rickie Lambert has said that nobody inside the Saints camp are panicking given it’s now six games without a victory for us.
The frustration to not take something from today’s match was evident with Lambert, but it remains only our second loss of the season on home soil and despite that frustration Rickie said there was every faith that we would again bounce back from this disappointment and get ourselves back on track.
Speaking to saintsfc following the game Lambert said it was vitally important that we got ourselves back to winning ways as soon as possible, but we mustn’t lose faith in what we are doing and we will be stronger moving forward owing to points like this as a team because how you come through spells can be just as important as coming out the other side.
‘We will carry on believing in what we’re doing, carry on working hard and stick together, that’s what we’ll do and if anything we’ll come out of it stronger. If you believe in what you’re doing then yes, it’s easier. Whereas, if you start questioning what you’re doing it’s not as easy, but we’re all under the same belief that we can get our of this and we can come out stronger.’
It was a bit of a mixed day for Lambert really, as despite losing the match, on a personal level he scored for the first time in six games as well to break his own duck on the field which should bode well for him going forward as well and it was a good way to mark his 200th start for Southampton, but he can’t allow himself to get too carried away given the result and the performance we put in.
‘Even though the results haven’t been there I think performances have generally been of a good standard, today was not of the standard that we’ve been used to, so we’ll discuss it and see where we can improve.’
