Episode Description
Hello and Happy New Year — welcome to Episode 351 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC.
We start by thanking our incredible TSP Patron community, whose support makes the show possible every week.
The New Year began as the old one ended — with a damp squib.
Saints were held to a boring 0–0 draw at home to Millwall, a game low on quality and talking points.
We discuss:
- Five changes from the Birmingham draw and a reshuffled back three
- Whether celebrating a clean sheet at home shows how low expectations have fallen
- Cam Bragg’s first home start — and why he impressed
- Leo Scienza’s minutes being managed and what that says about Saints’ attacking threat
- Saints’ slow, predictable build-up and lack of cutting edge
- Gavin Bazunu’s big save — and whether it masks deeper issues
Is the mood starting to turn on the head coach already? Are Saints becoming too cautious for their own good?
Reports suggest Bayern Munich keeper Daniel Peretz could arrive on loan with a sizeable option to buy.
We debate:
- The risk vs reward of the move
- What it means for Bazunu and George Long
- Why recruitment — not the head coach — appears to be driving decisions
Next up is a trip north to face a Middlesbrough side who haven’t scored in four games.
We look at:
- Their recent dip after a strong start under new management
- Whether Saints return to their strongest XI
- How Saints should approach another physical Championship test
🎧 Plus all the usual fan debate, honest opinions, and Saints perspective you won’t get anywhere else.
