Is it happening or It is happening? Who knows…. Yes, one-minute Saints are out of the automatic promotion race, the next minute they’re back in it again – it’s like the footballing equivalent of the Hokey Cokey! TSP273 reflects on a dramatic injury, injury, injury-time winner by Flynn Downes, as Russell Martin’s side came back to secure victory against Watford on Saturday. There is also a preview of the next two games – at home to Preston and away to Cardiff City – alongside reaction to last week’s match versus Coventry City. > If you’d like to listen to the audio version of the episode, please click: here > If you’d like to watch a replay of the YouTube video, please click: here

Saints played out a drab 0-0 draw against Blackburn Rovers at the weekend, with limited action at either end of the pitch. TSP272 covers off the key talking points from that fixture (spoiler: doesn’t take long!) and discusses some of Russell Martin’s current tactical plans – including the role being undertaken by Jack Stephens.

The Easter Bunny may have delivered lots of chocolate over this past weekend, but it also removed any remaining belief that Saints could achieve automatic promotion from the Championship. Despite playing, in Russell Martin’s view, “brilliantly”, a late 3-2 win for Ipswich Town made it another disappointing day at the office. TSP271 sees the panel react to that defeat at Portman Road and discuss the apparent/impending exit of Director of Football, Jason Wilcox. Finally, there is a preview of Saturday’s visit to Blackburn Rovers, as the race for fourth place now really starts to heat up!! > If you’d like to listen to the audio episode, please click: here > Or, if you prefer seeing four men desperately trying to manage their emotions, why not watch the YouTube replay: here

TSP267 reflects on a third defeat in four league games, after a forgettable 2-1 home defeat to Millwall. What went wrong? Is the season falling apart when it matters most? Does the ‘team need Jack in it’? As always, there’s lots to talk about!
