Show Notes
Episode 374 of the Total Saints Podcast looks back on Southampton’s dramatic late victory at Swansea, where Saints came from behind and still found a way to take all three points thanks to a huge late finish from Cameron Archer. It was not the most polished Southampton performance of the run, but perhaps one of the most important, with Saints showing the kind of character, resilience and squad depth that can define a promotion push.
The panel discuss the balance between control and chaos in this game, whether Downes was fortunate to stay on, and how much the second-half changes shifted the momentum. There is praise too for the impact of Shea Charles and Archer from the bench, plus a wider look at what the latest results mean in the race for automatic promotion.
With Bristol City up next at St Mary’s and Wembley also on the horizon, the run-in is starting to feel very real indeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
