After a bruising week that saw Will Still and his staff depart, Southampton look like they’re finally finding their footing. Caretaker coach Tonda Eckert stepped up and steered the first team to a victory over QPR but is one result enough to land him the job permanently?

This week:

• QPR Review – A victory but not a lot of glory for The Saints

• Does Eckert have what it takes to lead the team?

• Russell Martin is bookies favourite to replace Still, but who else is in the running?

• Sheffield Wednesday Preview - Can The Saints pull off two wins in a row for the first time in over a year?

Southampton have sacked Will Still.

The club confirmed on Sunday evening that the Men’s First-Team Manager, along with Rubén Martinez, Clément Lemaitre and Carl Martin, has left the club, with U21 Head Coach Tonda Eckert taking charge on an interim basis.

Group Technical Director Johannes Spors said: “Will is a great person who gave everything to try and improve performances and results. Ultimately, that process has taken longer than any of us would have liked…”

With that seismic news breaking just as we started recording, Episode 339 of the Total Saints Podcast is packed.

This week:

• Preston Review – Saints beaten 2-0 at St Mary’s, drop to 21st in the table, and the atmosphere turns toxic.

• Players arguing with fans, boos echoing around the ground, and Will Still’s post-match admission: “There isn’t an instant fix.”

• Comparing this slump to 2008/09 – is this as bad as it gets?

• Reaction to the club’s managerial statement and the growing unrest around Sport Republic.

• QPR Preview – two fixtures that were supposed to define Will Still’s future… before fate intervened.

Join Martin Starke, Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour, and Alfie House as they unpack a chaotic week on and off the pitch.

⚠️ Light language warning – a few choice words in this one!

Welcome to Episode 338 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Bristol City Review – Another trip to Ashton Gate, another 3–1 defeat. Back-to-back losses two seasons apart, and over 50 years since we’ve taken a point there. What went wrong after such a bright start?

• Blackburn Review – A week that somehow got worse. Saints arrived at Ewood Park sitting 18th, faced one of the few sides below them… and still managed to lose. Was this Will Still’s lowest moment yet?

• Selection Chaos & Substitution Madness – Four changes, early saves from McCarthy, a straight-red for Welington, and fans chanting “You don’t know what you’re doing”. The pressure is building – hard.

• Preston Preview – Saints return to St Mary’s next Saturday, desperate for a reaction. But with suspensions, illness and injuries mounting… where’s the next win coming from?

We also touch on:

• Forum frustration and calls for change

• Juventus reportedly eyeing up Saints’ sporting director Johannes Spors

All that and more, plus the latest from our Prediction League and your usual dose of Saints therapy from Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House, guest hosted this week by Neil Crespin.

Welcome to Episode 337 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Swansea Review – Another frustrating afternoon at St Mary’s as Saints were held to a goalless draw by Swansea. Will Still called it “one of our best performances of the season,” but was it really? 21 shots, 3.26 xG, and still no goal — we break it all down.

• Bristol City Preview – A tricky midweek trip to Ashton Gate. Can Saints finally turn dominance into points and end their run of home draws?

• Blackburn Preview – Another away day follows on Saturday, with Rovers struggling near the bottom. Is this the perfect chance to build some momentum?

• Plus, we catch up on Saints Women in the League Cup and check in on how the Prediction League is shaping up!

Featuring Martin Starke, Steve Grant (SaintsWeb), Glen de la Cour (League One Minus 10), and Alfie House (Daily Echo).

Welcome to Episode 336 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Swansea City Preview – Saints return from the international break to host Swansea at St Mary’s. With both sides level on points, can Will Still’s men finally find consistency? We’re joined by Luke Davies from the Swans Cast Podcast to size up the opposition.
• Ross Stewart Injury Update – Just when it looked like his Saints career was getting started, another setback rules him out for “months rather than weeks.” What does that mean for the season ahead?
• Saints Women on Fire – Two wins over Pompey in one week, including a comeback 5–2 victory at Fratton Park. We look at Simon Parker’s side’s rise to third in the league and what’s clicking this season.

Welcome to Episode 335 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Derby Review – A 1–1 draw at Pride Park, and another frustrating afternoon for Will Still’s Saints. Ross Stewart limped off again, and despite taking an early lead through Adam Armstrong, Saints failed to build on it. With just one shot on target after the break, are we really improving – or just standing still?
• Sheffield United Review – A scrappy 2–1 win on the road. Ross Stewart’s brace sealed the points, but it was far from comfortable. Did Saints finally turn a corner, or did they just get away with one?
• Will Still Discussion – Four points from six looks good on paper, but has the mood really lifted? With the international break ahead, we ask whether Saints are still searching for their identity – and if patience is starting to wear thin.
• Player of the Week – After Nathan Wood took the honours last week, who stood out this time? Alex McCarthy, Ross Stewart, Adam Armstrong, and Wood himself all in contention.
• Saints Women & U21s – Wins all round. The Women beat Birmingham 2–1 away (Primus and Peplow on target), while the U21s thrashed Derby 4–1 to stay unbeaten in Premier League 2.

Welcome to Episode 334 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Middlesbrough Review – A 1–1 draw at St Mary’s against the Championship leaders. A better performance, but one win in seven raises concerns. Did Will Still’s switch back to a back five steady the ship, or just paper over the cracks?
• Liverpool Review – Predictable Carabao Cup exit at Anfield, but with some positives to take. Did we see glimpses of progress, or just another missed opportunity?
• Sheffield United Preview – Saints head to Bramall Lane on Tuesday night. With United finally off the mark under new management, can Saints find a way to end their winless run?
• Derby County Preview – The last game before the international break. With Derby struggling for goals but staying competitive, can Southampton finally take advantage against a side around them in the table?
• Saints Women – A 1–1 draw with Sunderland leaves Simon Parker’s side 6th in WSL2, four points off top spot.

Welcome to Episode 333 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Hull Review – A 3–1 defeat, five games without a win… and arguably the lowest point yet under Will Still. Was this on the manager, the players, or both? We look back at a wasted trip and some worrying signs.
• Liverpool Preview – Saints head to Anfield in the Carabao Cup to face the Premier League leaders. Does anyone even care about this tie, or is it just a distraction?
• Middlesbrough Preview – Rob Edwards’ high-flying Boro visit St Mary’s. Can Saints finally turn a corner against the Championship pace-setters?
• Saints Women – A narrow 1–0 defeat to Bristol City leaves Simon Parker’s side 5th in WSL2 after three games.

Welcome to Episode 332 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!

Plenty to cover this week:

• Pompey Review – Thirteen years we waited for a league South Coast Derby… and it ended 0–0. Was it a fair result, or a wasted Sunday lunchtime? We look at the performance, the selection choices, and whether this Saints side can really handle the big occasions.
• Hull City Preview – Attention turns quickly to a tricky trip to Hull. Can Will Still’s men put things right and finally find some rhythm in the league?
• TSP in the Spotlight – From sponsoring both Saints captains (Jack Stephens and Atlanta Primus) to featuring on the St Mary’s tifo, the pod has been busy off the pitch. We share the details.
• Saints Women – A wild 4–4 draw with Crystal Palace keeps Simon Parker’s side unbeaten but provides a real test of credentials early in the campaign.
