"It was much needed (the point). It didn't look achievable at the start of the first half. We somehow managed to stay in the game in that first half, it was difficult and we rode our luck at times, and had to give ourselves a chance in the second half - and we did that. It still needs a moment of quality from the players or a moment of skill, whether that be our goalkeeper, last-ditch defending or the goal.
"I hope (it can change our season). When you come to Southampton, you have to sacrifice not having the ball for a little bit. We were so low after Wednesday night so full credit to the team for getting through today - and I include myself in that. There was a point in the first half where you could hear the end wavering. Not just in terms of my position, but in the belief of what we are trying to do. Players believe in success and we had a bit more success in the second half."
