Seven without a win. Same problems. Same questions.
Saints’ miserable run continues as Hull City complete the double at St Mary’s, leaving Southampton without a win in seven Championship matches and drifting uncomfortably toward trouble.
In this episode of the Total Saints Podcast, the panel reflect on another deeply frustrating afternoon — defensive frailty, questionable selection calls, and a performance that felt painfully familiar.
We discuss:
Why five at the back keeps failing — yet keeps returning Soft goals, poor defending from set pieces, and a lack of conviction in attack Whether sticking with the same XI after Middlesbrough showed worrying acceptance Why Tom Fellows coming off made little sense — especially with Ross Stewart on the pitch Tonda Eckert’s post-match “home truths” and growing fan anger If change at manager level would actually fix anything — or if deeper issues remain
There was at least one positive: Ross Stewart’s goal and presence up front, offering a glimpse of what Saints have been missing.
Looking ahead, we preview Wednesday night’s clash with Sheffield United, joined by Blades fan Chad Jarvis from the Red Half of Sheffield podcast. With both sides struggling, is this a chance for Saints to steady themselves — or another nerve-shredder waiting to happen?
We also share details on our live podcast at St Mary’s, raising funds for the Saints Foundation, with special guests James Beattie and Mark Dennis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
