Welcome to Episode 275 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton FC.

The podcast opens with a candid review of the disheartening 5-0 loss at Leicester, a match that highlighted serious concerns within the team. Despite having 66% possession, Southampton failed to register a single shot on target. Martin Starke and the panel, including Steve Grant (Saints Web), Alfie House (Daily Echo), and Glen de la Cour (League1Minus10), dissect what went wrong, discussing the team's lack of mental toughness and tactical missteps as noted by manager Russell Martin's harsh critique of the game.

In stark contrast to the Leicester debacle, the episode also previews the upcoming final home game of the regular season against Stoke City at St Mary’s. The panel sets the stage for a pivotal match that could help the team regain confidence and momentum as they prepare for the playoffs. Key topics include potential lineup changes in light of injuries and suspensions, with a particular focus on who needs to step up in this critical phase of the season.

This episode not only provides an in-depth look at Southampton's challenges and opportunities but also offers insights into the strategic choices facing the team as they aim to conclude the season on a high note.
