Miller from Saints website-well played!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">Kevin Miller rolled back the years to help Saints to a vital point at Burnley last night.The 37-year-old had not played a league game for just over a year and even hung up his gloves at the start of this season when he failed to find another club.

</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">But he took over from Paul Smith at Turf Moor and played a key role in the 1-1 draw which lifted <place w:st="on">Southampton</place> seven points clear of the drop zone.After conceding three goals in each of his last two games, his confidence seems to have dipped and George Burley decided to take him out of the firing line.

</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">It is the second time Smith has lost his place since George Burley came in, first to 18-year-old rookie Bartosz Bialkowski and now to a veteran. But Miller more than justified the bold selection, making some fine saves and organising a defence which seemed to have lost confidence recently.

 </p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">Burley explained: &quot;I brought Kevin in for his organisational qualities. Tonight I felt we needed that experience and he came in and marshalled the defence very well.&quot;You look at people in training and Kevin has come in and got himself fit and done very well in the two Reserve games he has played.

 </p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">&quot;Experience is the key at this stage of the season and in the position we are in. We can't afford to be edgy. We have to have people to talk and organise things.&quot;Miller certainly did that, imposing himself on the back four, cajoling and organising them as <place w:st="on">Burnley</place> piled on the pressure in the second half.

 </p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">He made two fine saves, a great block with his legs and a spectacular claw away.He said: &quot;That one was a nice height but I was still pleased with it. I enjoyed it and I felt it went well because it has been a long time since I have played at this level.&quot;
