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?
