Hello and welcome to Episode 347 of the Total Saints Podcast, your home for all things Southampton Football Club.Saturday lunchtime brought an unwelcome throwback for Saints, as old problems resurfaced in a frustrating 2–1 defeat away at Norwich City. Against an injury-hit side rooted in the bottom three, Saints missed chances, struggled to control the game, and were punished by crosses into the box. We look back at a dreadful performance that we never truly looked like winning — and ask whether this was simply a bad day or a more worrying sign.We also turn our attention to another lunchtime kick-off, with league leaders Coventry City heading to St Mary’s. On paper, it looked like a mouth-watering fixture. After the weekend, it suddenly feels like a far tougher test.In This EpisodeNorwich Review – A 2–1 defeat at Carrow Road as Saints struggle to impose themselves against a bottom-three sideWhat Went Wrong – Missed chances, defensive issues, and a worrying return of old habitsCoventry Preview – Can Saints respond against the league leaders at St Mary’s?Support the PodcastPatreon: https://patreon.com/TotalSaintsPodcastMerch: https://shop.totalsaints.co.ukSocials: @TotalSaintsPod on all platformsWebsite: https://totalsaints.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

After a blistering first half and a 3–0 lead, Tonda Eckert’s side were forced to hang on as West Brom clawed back two goals from set pieces.We discuss:Adam Armstrong reaching 11 league goals and running out of superlatives for his current formLeo Scienza continuing to shine with another electric performanceTom Fellows’ contribution to the opener (and concern over his injury)How Saints keep flying out of the blocks under TondaWhy second halves are becoming a problemSubstitutions lowering the level and the lack of depth behind the front lineSet-piece defending issues and the ongoing debate around Gavin BazunuSaints rising to 8th in the table after six wins in seven gamesPlus, the panel revisit the goalkeeper conversation… and whether January might be the time for change.We’re joined by Connor Southwell as Norwich undergo yet another shift in direction following the arrival of new manager Philippe Clement.Key talking points:What’s changed since Clement replaced Liam ManningImproved structure, intensity, and simplicity in Norwich’s playA significant injury list, including Josh Sargent and Mathias KvistgaardenNorwich’s youth-heavy squad, inconsistent attacking output, and a defence that has conceded heavilyWhy this remains a dangerous away fixture despite Norwich’s league positionHow Saints might line up – and whether Jack Stephens returns to the XIFollow & Support TSP?
