Southampton continued their unbeaten start to the season, coming back from 1-0 down to share the spoils in a scrappy encounter against Ipswich at Portman Road.
Jay Robinson's first senior goal for the club came at an important time in the match with Saints struggling to get on top of a physical Ipswich side.
Rattled by the early goal, the Saints looked hurried in possession and found it difficult to string a series of passes together.
Robinson's powerful downward header from six yards out, after 29 minutes, came at the end of Southampton's first meaningful attack and involved both Mateus Fernandes and Ryan Fraser in the build up.
Southampton looked nervous at the back
An error by Welington gifted Ipswich the opening goal after just four minutes. The Brazilian's misplaced pass put Joshua Quashie under pressure in his own penalty area. Quarshie let the ball run past him as George Hirst anticipated and got the wrong side of the Saints youngster.
Hirst's cut-back, aimed at Jack Clarke took deflections off both Quarshie and Jack Stephens before bouncing off Taylor Harwood-Bellis' chest and into the net past Gavin Bazunu.
Harwood-Bellis, coming into the side for Ronnie Edwards, looked mightily uncomfortable for large periods of the match. Although he could do little about the own-goal, the England international nearly cost his side another when he was dispossessed by Hirst on the half-way line after a lapse in concentration.
Running through on goal, with Stephens and Quarshie exposed, Hirst opted to shoot himself when he had better options. His shot was kept out well by Bazunu who put in another impressive shift between the sticks.
Ryan Fraser may have found his best position
Ryan Fraser lined up on the right side of midfield in a wing-back role which he seemed to relish. The 'wee-man' was combative in the tackle as always, doing his defensive duties well. Going forward, he was equally as effective, making several crosses including the one for Robinson's equaliser.
It seems odd to say this about a 31-year-old but Fraser seems to have found his best position for Southampton under Still. The wing-back role makes good use of Fraser's energy and aggression. Not only that, he is an excellent crosser of the ball in attacking areas.
Fraser was complimentary of his manager in the post-match interview and alluded to the range of positions that Still has played him in already. “He's been top. Top wth everyone. We'll get behind him and stick together as a team.
“He's really really good. If we can get behind him and follow his instructions we've got a great chance this season.
“I'm glad the manager's trusting me. I've played about nine positions in the last few games. Wherever he plays me, I'll try and give my best for the team.“
Southampton 1-1 Ipswich player ratings
Goalkeeper & Defenders
Gavin Bazunu (GK) - 6/10 - Bazunu looked assured with the ball at his feet despite having to deal with some awkward back passes. Couldn't do anything to keep out Harwood-Bellis' deflected own goal. Made the saves he was expected to make and looked assured under the high ball.
Ryan Fraser (RWB) - 7/10 - One of Southampton's best performers playing in a new position. Got up and down the pitch well, supporting attacks and making telling crosses. His assist for Robinson's equaliser was an excellent cross from an advanced position. Defensively solid and always presented an out ball for the centre-backs.
Jack Stephens (CB) - 6/10 - Made three vital blocks and six clearances in a sometimes frantic defensive effort. Heavily involved in possession out of defence and didn't give the ball away.
Joshua Quarshie (CB) - 6/10 - Quarshie's pace got him out of a few difficult situations and his passing radar was off. Was tested by a high pressing, high energy forward line and only just came through the test.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis (CB) - 5/10 - Unfortunate to concede the early own-goal which must have rattled the returning defender. Made too many unforced errors and took too long on the ball. He seems to want to hit a world class 50-yard-pass every time that he brings the ball out of defence rather than pass short.
Welington (LWB) - 5/10 - A chaotic performance. Welington's wayward passing put his side in trouble for the Ipswich goal. He had a swing and a miss at a chance in the second-half which presented the opposition with a chance. Made up for the above with a great last-ditch sliding tackle.
