Did Southampton do enough in the summer transfer window—and is this squad genuinely capable of finishing in the Championship’s top two?

With the window now closed, Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Alfie House and Tom Prentki to deliver their verdict on Southampton’s summer business.

Did Dragan Solak and the owners deliver on their promise to build a team as good as last season? The panel rate the window and discuss the arrivals of James Ward-Prowse, Keven Schlotterbeck and Zach Abbott, the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Ramsdale, Sam Edozie’s situation and whether Saints have left themselves short of depth—particularly in attack.

The team also reviews the 1–1 draw away at Birmingham City. Was a point a fair result, who was responsible for the equaliser and which players strengthened their case for a start this weekend?

Finally, Kyle from the Stacey West Podcast joins us to preview Saturday’s visit to newly promoted Lincoln City. We discuss Lincoln’s impressive rise, how they may approach the game and whether Ward-Prowse and Matsuki should come into the Southampton starting XI.

Let us know your rating for Saints’ transfer window and your score prediction for Lincoln in the comments.

Southampton Thrash Millwall 5-1, Schlotterbeck Shines – Next Stop Birmingham

Southampton responded in emphatic fashion at St Mary’s, putting five past early Championship leaders Millwall in an impressive 5-1 victory.

Neil Crespin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to break down a much-needed Saints win. After another slow start, the panel discusses what suddenly clicked, the attacking performance that followed and whether this can be the result that really gets Tonda Eckert’s side moving.

There’s also plenty to say about two very different debuts. Keven Schlotterbeck made an immediate impression at the heart of the defence, while James Ward-Prowse returned to St Mary’s and quickly reminded supporters what he can offer. How much have the pair strengthened this Southampton side?

Attention then turns to what could be a frantic Tuesday. Saints travel to Birmingham looking to carry the momentum from the Millwall win, while the transfer window closes later that evening. The panel assesses the possible departures, where the squad could still be strengthened and whether there might be one final deadline-day arrival.

But can Saints back it up at Birmingham and start climbing the Championship table?

Alarm bells are ringing after Southampton suffered a dismal 4-1 Carabao Cup defeat to a heavily rotated West Ham side at St Mary’s.

Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to examine one of the worst performances of the Tonda Eckert era. The panel discusses the worrying lack of intensity, whether the Saints squad looks fit enough and which players emerged from a difficult night with any credit.

Attention then turns to the final days of the transfer window. Southampton are closing in on experienced Augsburg defender Keven Schlotterbeck, while reports of a possible return for James Ward-Prowse emerge during the podcast. Would bringing the former Saints captain home make sense, and how much business does the club still need to complete?

Finally, Alex Grace from That Millwall Podcast joins the show to preview Saturday’s meeting with the early league leaders. After the West Ham humiliation, can Saints produce the response supporters need to see?

Southampton 3-1 Stoke, But Is Harwood-Bellis Off to Villa? | TSP 387

Southampton recorded their first Championship win of the season after two late goals secured a 3-1 victory over Stoke City at St Mary’s. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Daily Echo reporter Dan Hargraves to discuss a result that looked more comfortable than the performance, Cyle Larin’s third goal in three games, Flynn Downes’ Player of the Week display and the impact made by Divin Mubama, Lewis Dobbin and Sam Edozie from the bench.

The panel also considers the future of Taylor Harwood-Bellis after the defender was left out amid interest from Aston Villa. With no deal agreed, what would represent an acceptable offer, how urgently would Southampton need to replace him and has the squad become weaker during the transfer window?

Russ from the West Ham Network joins the podcast to preview Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie at St Mary’s. We hear the view from inside an unhappy West Ham fanbase, assess how both teams could approach the competition and discuss the ticket prices for a game likely to feature significant rotation.

Elsewhere, Flynn Downes wins the first combined TSP Player of the Week vote, the team reflects on the unusual rock-paper-scissors debate before Ryan Manning’s penalty, and Martin shares details of Saints Foundation’s 15,000ft Big Saints Skydive.
