Welcome to Episode 352 of the Total Saints Podcast - your home for all things Southampton FC!
A miserable end to the festive fixtures as Saints are thrashed 4–0 away at Middlesbrough — a side that hadn’t scored in over seven hours of football.
The panel react to a shambolic second-half collapse, question Tonda Eckert’s system, substitutions and post-match comments, and ask how much longer the current approach can survive.
With the league season drifting, attention turns to the FA Cup third round at Doncaster Rovers and whether it now represents Saints’ best chance of momentum — or even meaning — this season.
We also reflect on four years of Sport Republic ownership, the endless churn of managers and recruitment leads, and what the future may hold if promotion isn’t achieved.
