Episode 279 - Total Saints Podcast

Welcome to Episode 279 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC. This week, Martin Starke, Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10) discuss the intense first leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals against West Brom, which ended in a goalless draw at The Hawthorns.

In this episode, we dissect the cagey encounter, where Saints managed to hold a clean sheet with a five-man backline. Alex McCarthy’s performance in goal earned him player of the week, making crucial saves to keep the team in contention. Despite the lack of goals, the result leaves everything to play for in the return leg.

Looking ahead, we preview what could be the biggest game of the season this Friday night at St Mary’s. The panel discusses the strategic choices ahead, including whether to stick with the five at the back and potential changes in the forward line. With home advantage on our side, we explore how the Saints can leverage the sold-out crowd to secure a win and a trip to Wembley.

We also feature insights from Chris Hall of the Albion Analysis Podcast, giving a perspective from the opposition’s camp. As the Saints gear up for the decisive match, the panel shares their predictions for the outcome.
