It’s been another quiet week on the South Coast……with only a fire, postponement and six-goal thriller!

TSP269 sees the team reflect on a vital 3 points against Sunderland, discuss what looks like a hectic fixture list over the next month or so, preview the arrival of Middlesbrough and try to make sense of the latest set of financial accounts.

Missing chances…..and getting punished! It’s the true ‘Southampton Way’ and it happened again versus Middlesbrough.

TSP270 sees the chaps discuss that frustrating 1-1 draw on Friday, after Saints (and Che Adams in particular!) spurned several presentable opportunities to wrap up a much-needed win before the late equaliser inevitably arrived.

There is also a preview of today’s tough looking trip to Ipswich, with Benjamin Bloom from The Blue Monday Podcast providing all the expert insight on the Tractor Boys.

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!!

"Mara is ineffective so try Sulemana up there instead" - For at least the second time.

Incredibly on brand not to actually bother either checking the minutes/goal contributions or for anyone to challenge it.

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.

Also, ahead of a double-game week, there are previews of both Coventry City and Watford’s visit to St. Mary’s.

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.

Death, taxes……and Saints not taking chances against teams they should beat before inevitably getting punished!

Yes, TSP274 sees the panel delve into that frustrating 2-1 defeat to Cardiff, exploring what went wrong.

There is also reaction to the 3-0 win over Preston last week, a preview of tomorrow’s visit to Leicester City and news of safe standing plans at St. Mary’s.

Leicester 5. Southampton 0. (Note: latter won easily on possession though!!! 😏)

There’s heading into the Playoffs with positive momentum……and there’s stumbling into them with a lack of form and seemingly more questions than answers - you know, the Southampton Way!

Yes, TSP276 looks back at another poor performance and result for Saints this past weekend, losing 1-0 to Stoke City.

There’s also a preview of the final, regular season fixture against Leeds United – where, at time of recording, promotion decider or dead rubber (obviously for them, not us!) remains in the balance.

Saints head into the Playoffs with some positive momentum, after a well-executed victory over Leeds United.

TSP277 looks back on the 2-1 win at Elland Road, as well as previewing the West Bromwich Albion game next weekend - as the nerves, cold sweats and hiding behind the sofa begins...

Its honours even after a nervy Playoff 1st Leg between Saints and West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.

TSP279 looks back at the tactical battle between Russell Martin and Carlos Corberán, a solid performance by Alex McCarthy and what positives Saints took from that performance at the Hawthorns.

There’s also a preview of Friday’s 2nd Leg at St. Mary’s – including the views of Albion Analysis – in a game that is now very much a case of ‘winner takes all’.

"Que Sera, Sera…..”
 
Yes, Saints made it to Wembley after beating West Bromwich Albion 3-1 in the Championship Playoff Semi-Final 2nd Leg.
 
TSP280 reflects on that victory, the St. Mary’s atmosphere, alleged dark arts and a stunning performance from ‘one of our own’.
 
Only Leeds United now stand in the way of Saints making an instant return to the Premier League, but that in itself is some challenge! The LS11 LUFC podcast help us preview what is likely to be a nervy and emotional Playoff Final next weekend.
