Cherries: Costly mistake hurts skipper Pearce
JASON Pearce is determined to learn from Saturday's derby defeat and insists Cherries will give their all to get back on track.[LNB] The Dean Court captain saw Lauri Dalla Valle volley Cherries in front but admitted Saints' 11th-minute leveller could have been avoided.[LNB] Pearce tried to shepherd the ball out of play but was dispossessed by Rickie Lambert, who crossed for Lee Barnard to fortuitously head home through Shwan Jalal's grasp.[LNB] Southampton went on to win the south coast promotion showdown 3-1 after second-half efforts from Dean Hammond and Lambert.[LNB] Discussing Saints' first goal, Pearce told the Echo: I thought the ball would go out, it held up and he (Lambert) nicked it, crossed the ball and they scored.[LNB] I have to learn from that and should have just kicked it out. It is disappointing but something you have got to learn from.[LNB] I have been delighted with my form this season but it was a little mistake. Mistakes happen and you have to learn from them and move on.[LNB] It did not cost us the game, but it cost us a goal. If that hadn't happened, you never know what might have happened. But it is all ifs and buts and you can't live life on ifs and buts.[LNB] Pearce added: I hope everyone at the club saw the effort the lads put in because I thought everyone gave 100 per cent and we were unlucky.[LNB] We will do our best and keep on going.[LNB] Boss Lee Bradbury added: Pearcey and Shwan have been different class for us all season so we can't really have too much of a moan about them.[LNB] They have both kept us in games on numerous occasions in the past.[LNB]
