Introduction to the Daily Saints podcast

00:00:00
Zak
Thank
00:00:13
DailySaintsPod
Hello and welcome back to the Daily Saints pod. My name is Greg and as always today joined by my good friend and wonderful co-host Zach. How you doing mate?

Game reflections and upcoming match dynamics

00:00:24
DailySaintsPod
You alright?
00:00:24
Zak
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Yeah, I'm relatively relatively well. Looking forward to another game of football this weekend after a semi-successful week so far.
00:00:34
Zak
And yeah, just hoping we continue this run of form as much as it's upsetting for, you know, Sheffield Wednesday, where it kind of just feels bad.
00:00:44
DailySaintsPod
that
00:00:46
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, it tom i mean it feels a lot like kicking someone when they're already down, doesn't it? Sheffield Wednesday, of course, already relegated. Unfortunately, by the timing of the fixtures, relegated by their rivals, Sheffield United, last weekend, which is just, yeah...
00:01:09
DailySaintsPod
Not great. Not great situation for them, for the club. We've kind of

Sheffield Wednesday's relegation and team challenges

00:01:15
DailySaintsPod
loosely followed it all season, right? And it's it's just not where you'd want to be as a club, is it?
00:01:17
Zak
Yeah, we have.
00:01:23
DailySaintsPod
But, you know, hopefully I'll be able to rebuild from it and go again with an owner that's not going to, you know, besmirch the club's name because, well,
00:01:36
Zak
Yeah, with any luck.
00:01:39
DailySaintsPod
But that I know, mate. Is it the sort of game where it it feels like such a foregone conclusion that there's a potential banana skin in the in the work?
00:01:51
DailySaintsPod
Like, pressure off now that they're relegated for them, really?
00:01:52
Zak
Oh, so usually...
00:01:56
DailySaintsPod
Or or is it
00:01:57
Zak
I feel like the pressure is already off. They already knew they were relegated.
00:02:00
DailySaintsPod
yeah
00:02:01
Zak
i think the pressure is entirely on us as a more expected to be dominating team, right? And I think that Tonda is a aware of that.
00:02:31
Zak
But we won, we beat them in penalties in the Cup. We're 6-5, where Ward-Prowse, Elianusi, Diallo, Maitland-Niles, Armstrong and Walcott all scored.
00:02:37
DailySaintsPod
Sure.
00:02:44
Zak
I have absolutely zero recollection of that game. Right.
00:02:47
DailySaintsPod
No, me neither, honestly.
00:02:49
Zak
But it was one of the times that it was one of the the times previously we beat them.
00:02:50
DailySaintsPod
yeah
00:02:54
Zak
So yeah, there should be an expectation that we come in. I don't know if it will be anything like the other night. I don't think they're going to... I don't know if they'll come at us the same way that QPR did.
00:03:05
Zak
but I think there is an expectation that we should be winning the game. As
00:03:09
DailySaintsPod
Yeah,

Importance of strong performance and goal difference

00:03:10
DailySaintsPod
and probably comfortably, right?
00:03:10
Zak
upsetting as that is to yeah yeah as up saying it is that is nice to point out, like they've lost some of the players that you know wanted to stay with them forever to try and recoup their losses.
00:03:22
Zak
They've now had their priority buyer back out. So, yeah, it's just difficult.
00:03:30
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, it's sir it's not great. you
00:03:33
Zak
Maybe slightly.
00:03:33
DailySaintsPod
you You don't really want to see it. And... Yeah, I mean, I just, yeah, it's it's a sad one to prep for, really, isn't it?
00:03:39
Zak
All the more reason why it's really important.
00:03:42
DailySaintsPod
Is the the crazy thing. that It's...
00:03:45
Zak
but they since This is all the more reason why it's important we beat them.
00:03:48
Zak
just like It's a foregone conclusion, as you pointed out. We should be beating them.
00:03:52
DailySaintsPod
Hmm.
00:03:53
Zak
Will we manage it?
00:03:53
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:03:54
Zak
don't know, but we should. you i
00:03:57
DailySaintsPod
a good opportunity, though, to carry on the momentum, right? Seven games in the league unbeaten, eight get games in all competitions. You know, we seem to have found our feet and found our shooting boots, and, you know, it all seems to be going well.
00:04:11
DailySaintsPod
So,

Sibling rivalry: Will Shea Charles score?

00:04:12
Zak
Yeah.
00:04:12
DailySaintsPod
you know, the the fact that there's a bit of a gap, right, between this game and the next, or or at least a big gap until we're next at home, I think there's...
00:04:23
DailySaintsPod
But it's not a Tuesday night game next week, is it? It's a this Saturday to Saturday.
00:04:27
Zak
Mate, it is so hard to keep up.
00:04:30
Zak
Doesn't seem to be.
00:04:30
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, so yeah, we've got a whole week, right, between fixtures. And then we've got, of course, the FA Cup against Fulham the week after.
00:04:40
Zak
Oh, yeah.
00:04:40
DailySaintsPod
and then we go back into a Wednesday night game. So, you know, an opportunity to kick on and and deal with it Some stories coming into the game, I guess.
00:04:44
Zak
Off the FA Cup.
00:04:50
DailySaintsPod
Do you think Shea Charles scores against his brother?
00:04:55
Zak
be fascinating. Maybe.
00:04:58
DailySaintsPod
i hit like Like, it's a it's is it up there within the range of possible, right? Would that be the like the first time

Is it ethical to go all out against a struggling team?

00:05:07
DailySaintsPod
that's happened? Do you think do you think that's ever happened before?
00:05:10
DailySaintsPod
player scoring against his brother? That's pretty niche.
00:05:13
Zak
I guess not specifically not specifically like striker versus his goalkeeper, right? There's brothers that have played together, brothers that have played against each other.
00:05:21
DailySaintsPod
Hmm.
00:05:21
Zak
I think that would probably be the first time that that's genuinely like... don't know. I'm sure that there'll be more astute historians out there to know. Like, but of like Premier League's last show out. It's championship history, right? So...
00:05:35
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. Yeah. it's it's It's an interesting one, isn't it? Like say, it's but you want to kick on and keep the momentum going and you expect a comfortable win, but you also like just don't feel like battering them 8 9-0 is the the right thing to do Right?
00:05:58
DailySaintsPod
Like, at some point, maybe take your foot off the gas. Like, the springs to mind is, like, Michael Owen, the clip of Michael Owen, like, pelting in free kicks.
00:06:03
Zak
I don't is this...
00:06:09
DailySaintsPod
Like, well done, he's 13. Like...
00:06:14
Zak
But is that what they want? Do they want sympathy? Like, is it is it one of those things where I remember, I think we talked about this actually in the last episode we did on Tiffle Wednesday, when like there were genuinely Saints fans a decade ago that were like, yeah, I'd happily take a loss to win the the premire Premier League. It was kind of like, hang on, hang on minute.
00:06:36
Zak
See me supporting him. Do you know what I mean? Like, Maybe we shouldn't put them to the sword or whatever you want to say, but it's a game of football. If we beat them a game of football, we beat them in a game of football. I don't really understand why.
00:06:50
Zak
It needs to be any, like, I guess, yeah, when it comes to, like, competitive to football, you should be treated as such, right? You said yourself, Greg, goal difference is going to make a difference come the end of the season.
00:06:56
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:07:00
Zak
If we could develop a decent goal difference, like, it is a harrowing, harrowing thing that has happened to Sheffield Wednesday.
00:07:00
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, no, you're right.
00:07:09
Zak
Don't get me wrong. Awful. However... I support Sheffield Wednesday. i support i suppose Southampton. And if we go out there

Exploring Sheffield Wednesday's season challenges

00:07:19
Zak
and beat them 5-6-0, we've gone out there and beaten them 5-6-0. I'm not going to feel necessarily bad about it.
00:07:25
Zak
It's a horrible situation. We didn't put them in that horrible situation. a horrific owner did. And probably some people that made terrible decisions to allow an owner to come in and basically lose all of his money, right?
00:07:37
Zak
We have also that exact same situation.
00:07:37
DailySaintsPod
Mm-hmm.
00:07:41
Zak
Last season, Greg, when we played, we we were doing terribly. Everyone basically knew we were relegated. Did any of the clubs that beat us 5-0 feel bad about us? we would be in five m b oh no Did Jadon Sancho score against us for Chelsea and us completely forget he even played football, let alone for Chelsea at that point?
00:08:00
Zak
we feel bad about that they feel bad about that then? Or did they actually sing, we've got our club back, the entirety of that 5-0 victory? Because I think it was the latter.
00:08:08
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:08:09
Zak
And that's like, obviously, I understand different situations and things, but there was a lot of people that genuinely believed at the start the season that we could have gone down again. There was a chance at a time where a lot of us felt that way.
00:08:23
Zak
So, you you know, in yeah outside of it, yeah, it's absolutely awful. Football community-wise, absolutely awful. But yeah, if we come out and beat them 5-6-0, okay, I'm probably not going to put a clip up of us being like, yeah!
00:08:37
Zak
Right? Because, like, you're right. But at the same time, I'm not going to like, upset that we've beaten a team 5-0. it's not... Do you know what I mean?
00:08:44
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. All right. No, you're right. It's it's fair.
00:08:47
Zak
it's It's difficult to kind of like, i get I get it's difficult to navigate the politics around it.
00:08:48
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:53
Zak
And by politics around it, i just, I simply mean that you're right. it It feels like kicking a puppy, right? You you don't want to do it.
00:08:59
DailySaintsPod
yeah yeah
00:09:01
Zak
But and then and there should there is no scenario in real life where you can really kick a puppy. But this isn't that, this is the ball.
00:09:08
DailySaintsPod
I was going say, I was waiting for your justification for us being 5-0 as to what the, in that analogy, reasonable excuse to kick a puppy was, but I'll take it.
00:09:17
Zak
No, that there actually isn't. But you're right. it's just It's just bad.
00:09:21
Zak
Whereas actually, I think it's a bad analogy because we're not really kicking a puppy, are we? we're We're playing another group of footballers and they are, you know, hopefully at this point, at least being paid.
00:09:33
Zak
if i feel slightly different around it if they weren't being paid at this point, but at least they're now being paid and hopefully they'll go on to bright brighter things. when like Rotherham who are at the bottom of League One who haven't taken flack from me for a while so you know got to get right back up there Greg when when they beat us like one nil do you think you know we we but i was bad then right and and i I feel like if we'd beaten them 5-0 that day I'm not going to be like aww but next season they're going to relegated and they'll probably end up in League Two you know I just yeah
00:10:05
Zak
I don't where my point's gone. Completely lost it, as you can probably tell.
00:10:08
DailySaintsPod
That's all right, mate.
00:10:10
Zak
But my point is, you know,
00:10:10
DailySaintsPod
You've got
00:10:13
DailySaintsPod
to do what you've got to do.
00:10:13
Zak
I think we should be able to enjoy a win regardless of if it's against an opponent that is struggling due to situations outside their control.
00:10:22
DailySaintsPod
yeah You're right. We've got to do what we've got to If promotion is still the target, which you've got to presume it is now that we are all the way up to the sky highs of seventh, goal difference might be important.
00:10:34
Zak
Yes.
00:10:42
DailySaintsPod
But yeah, you're right. No one's going to be, one's going to be like, jumping over the moon like oh we got 10 yeah it is what it
00:10:51
Zak
Yeah, it's not... And to be fair, they've but they've put in some good fights all season and they've struggled as well, not only because of the whole relegation thing and the points deduction thing, but on top of that, as I said, a lot of their better players, like even our like former Jan Ballerys left them.
00:11:06
Zak
and And again, it's because like guaranteed money elsewhere...
00:11:11
DailySaintsPod
yeah
00:11:11
Zak
trying, and you know it's not really avoiding a sinking ship, it's like finding employment at a safe employment place, right? I guess is the other thing.
00:11:18
DailySaintsPod
yeah
00:11:19
Zak
So yeah, it's just, there's a lot of lot of factors at play there, but
00:11:23
DailySaintsPod
Yeah,

Strategic lineup changes and player performance analysis

00:11:23
Zak
I'm not gonna feel bad if we win.
00:11:24
DailySaintsPod
and not just that, right? they They've had a record number of different goalkeepers play for them this season because they've also been struck down by injury time and time again.
00:11:34
Zak
The streets will never forget joe Lumley.
00:11:34
DailySaintsPod
It's just been like...
00:11:37
DailySaintsPod
It's just been like... Yeah, it's just been like...
00:11:38
Zak
Don't know if Redwood still plays for the Wi-Fi. If Redwood was there for a little bit as a free agent.
00:11:43
DailySaintsPod
it's yeah it's just been like a lot of the the lightning storm in a bottle, right, of just things that seem to go wrong. If it can go wrong, it does.
00:11:53
Zak
Yeah.
00:11:54
DailySaintsPod
So, with that mind, mate, starting lineups, how... don't know, mate. Surely, you cannot change a team that wins 5-0.
00:12:05
Zak
No, why would she?
00:12:07
DailySaintsPod
No. you Just start the same 11. Job done.
00:12:10
Zak
Yeah, the only the only reason i would expect to see a change is either because of fitness or injury, basically.
00:12:10
DailySaintsPod
Segment over, right? Any...
00:12:17
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:12:18
Zak
and And that's it. That's kind where I'm at.
00:12:21
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, no, I fully agree. i don't see any of it changing. I don't remember anyone going off because of any knocks, really.
00:12:29
Zak
No, Leo got clattered again, but Leo always gets clattered at this point. I'm surprised that they haven't just replaced his skull of titanium.
00:12:32
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, that's just...
00:12:35
Zak
Like, it just makes...
00:12:35
DailySaintsPod
That's just Leo things. Yeah, that's just...
00:12:36
Zak
Yeah, that's just just preempt the fact that the guy is going to be... what I worry because, you know, the amount of times he has gone down clutching his head, you know, one of these days it could be can end up nasty.
00:12:44
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:12:46
DailySaintsPod
Hmm.
00:12:47
Zak
But yeah, i wouldn't really change anything.
00:12:49
Zak
Like, the middle of the park, as we've talked about multiple times, has been... is interchangeable, in my opinion. The only... You know, you might want to bring Charles on at some point. as you're right, to potentially get that cool stat of winning against your brother.
00:13:02
Zak
But I'm also abundantly aware that that isn't how coaches' brains work, and it shouldn't be how coaches' brains work.
00:13:05
DailySaintsPod
Hmm.
00:13:08
Zak
It's lovely to have sentimental things like that happen. And you've seen it before where like, oh, yeah, we know we're bringing this guy and try and get him to get his like first goal in forever.
00:13:18
Zak
Or like, yeah, he needs to get like a retirement goal. And they bring that guy on, and then the other team goes balls to the wall and then like beat them 3-4 or whatever. or Sorry, like 4-3 or whatever. have no idea why I brought that specific example up.
00:13:31
Zak
But like this is this is what I mean, right?
00:13:32
DailySaintsPod
yeah
00:13:34
Zak
you can't You can't treat stuff like that. So I don't think that there'll be like any room for sentimentality. I don't think Tonda will treat it sentimentally either. So yeah, I wouldn't really change it, to be honest.
00:13:43
DailySaintsPod
No, i agree. you You're right. I have been doing some research in the background, mate, and I believe there are six times in English and international football that brothers have played against each other, but in all of those occasions, they were both outfield players.
00:13:52
Zak
That's more...
00:14:00
DailySaintsPod
So...
00:14:00
Zak
Yeah, i was going to say, like that's going to be like, I don't know, maybe Sean Wright-Phillips versus Bradley Wright-Phillips when he played for us.
00:14:08
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, that that didn't make the list of the six I found, say
00:14:10
Zak
No, i I don't. Yeah, I know. I remember i remember we played against, it was from last week's research, looking into QPR. Completely forgot that at one point, Sean Wright-Phillips played for QPR around a similar time that Bradley Wright-Phillips would have been playing for us.
00:14:24
Zak
But, you know, maybe they just never overlapped. Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:26
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, crazy. But yeah, no, that's it. Unchanged, right? do you Do you see maybe bringing Stewart in to start over Laren? I think Laren was excellent on Tuesday, I've got say.
00:14:37
Zak
Yeah, I thought it was really good.
00:14:38
DailySaintsPod
i think the...
00:14:38
Zak
The only thing he lacked was the goal and that wasn't really his fault.
00:14:40
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:14:41
Zak
That was just...
00:14:41
DailySaintsPod
No. But i think I think we talked about it in our match review, right, is that what he did in not getting a goal created all of the space for all of the other goals because he was...
00:14:53
DailySaintsPod
doing the job to be marked out of the game by making nuisance of himself, which, you know, it goes unnoticed by statisticians. But, you know, if you're watching the game and you absorb that information, then you can see that what he's doing is important, right? you Again, games played on grass, not on paper.
00:15:11
DailySaintsPod
On paper, doesn't go down as anything. On grass, what a performance. So is why yeah is why we don't always rely on stats, right, mate? That's the sort of thing you're trying to get at.
00:15:22
Zak
Yeah.
00:15:25
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, no, I just think Unchanged XI seems to be the way to go. Yeah, you're right. or Or rotate that middle three. Maybe don't risk the chance of Flynn down to get a booking.
00:15:36
Zak
Yeah, that's the only other of a thing I've changed, maybe, in the middle of the park. The problem is is how how long did you say it was before the Amnesty at this point? like end of So, yeah, still...
00:15:43
DailySaintsPod
Oh, it's game day 39. And we are... So this will be game day 35. So there's still...
00:15:49
Zak
like four games.
00:15:50
DailySaintsPod
four games after Sheffield Wednesday to think about.
00:15:50
Zak
So
00:15:53
DailySaintsPod
So, yeah, maybe it feels inevitable.
00:15:55
Zak
yeah, don't know how I trust that.
00:15:58
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. who I don't know. Yeah, I feel like unchanged is the way to go. I feel like you're going to start bringing into question your ability to t to not tinker if you you have a performance like that in the week and then change things up too drastically. Yeah. But you're right. You don't know what Kyle Aaron's fitness is because we've only seen him sort of in bits and he was only on in sub appearances before he came to us.
00:16:28
DailySaintsPod
But that means you start him knowing that you're going to change him at halftime. Maybe that's that's the hit you take, right?
00:16:36
Zak
Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at. I agree.
00:16:40
DailySaintsPod
All

Game preview and win expectations

00:16:40
DailySaintsPod
right. Look. I think going to struggle to talk more about the lineup for that, mate. It's just, it what it is, isn't it? you do If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Only so many times we could say it.
00:16:49
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:16:50
Zak
Yeah, it's it's one of those ones. it's Again, like it's a I think we've kind of already covered quite a lot of it. It's a weird game to kind of preview because the expectation should be nothing but a win. Anything other than a win is probably going to be a disappointment for our end.
00:17:04
Zak
that There's like a consensus you can't go out and batter them because, again, you know it's it's punching down, but not in like a fun way. So what else is there really to talk about with Sheffield Wednesday?
00:17:13
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:17:16
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:17:17
Zak
Again, like having a look at what we've lost, you know, we've beaten them on every occasion that we've played them since 2009. So history backs us too.
00:17:23
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:17:26
Zak
And, you know, the form that our players are currently in, you'd kind of almost automatically expect it. but it kind of also feels like there's a level of arrogance that comes with that, that I feel bad about.
00:17:36
DailySaintsPod
Yeah. and And I mean, it's even weirder, right?
00:17:37
Zak
I'm not going to lie.
00:17:38
DailySaintsPod
Because it's like the end of a a period of games, right? It's the third game of a third game.
00:17:44
Zak
Mm-hmm.
00:17:44
DailySaintsPod
You know, three games in seven day period. So any rotations you're only really doing because you've been forced to buy decisions earlier in the week. But the next game is a cup game and in a week's time. And you've got to think that we will probably be heavily rotating for that again.
00:18:03
DailySaintsPod
so So actually, you probably want your players that you won't be rotating to play this game so you keep fitness in them. So it's like...
00:18:13
Zak
So yeah.
00:18:14
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, it's it'll be an interesting one. Look, with history on our side, Sheffield Wednesday, of course, having not picked up a win at home all season, their only win of the season happening away, the Leiais Spielme is...
00:18:30
Zak
It's brutal, isn't
00:18:33
DailySaintsPod
pretty heavily weighted towards us.
00:18:36
Zak
shock her
00:18:37
DailySaintsPod
the prophet the The primary safe bet is just Southampton to win. that's That's it. The XG profile line with a cautious mid-attack performance from the visitors, probably with over three and a half goals.
00:18:54
Zak
Yeah, yeah. What does XG know?
00:18:55
DailySaintsPod
So... Yeah. but That's... Yeah, you know, I mean, what other outcome is it ever going to predict, really? So with that mind, mate, what's what's the magic number you're throwing out there?
00:19:10
Zak
I've got most... That's not mine. I've got a couple right this season. Let's just go with like 3-0. And I've got to feel free one but I really hope we can keep another clean sheet.
00:19:22
Zak
But
00:19:23
DailySaintsPod
Perez loves a clean sheet, man.
00:19:24
DailySaintsPod
He's obsessed with them. Did you see that video of the club where they asked him what his favorite goal was from the win? And he said the one when we didn't concede any.
00:19:24
Zak
Yeah.
00:19:31
Zak
Yes, I did. I did. I did see that. and that's That's good. It's nice to have a keeper that is so focused on that. Not that all of our other keepers haven't been as focused. It's just not they're not very good at doing it. But yeah, 3-0. I'd love Laren to get a goal.
00:19:51
Zak
I'd love Stewart to get another goal. I'd also love Matzki to get another goal as well, just to keep going. Keep his... keep his keep his momentum flowing and, you know, again, make that competition for that space between him and fellows, you know, tighter, make make them really have to play well to get into that position and dislodge one another, which means again, only creating more chances and more goals for the team. So

Past match outcomes and future expectations

00:20:17
Zak
yeah that's mine.
00:20:19
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, well,
00:20:20
Zak
What about you
00:20:24
DailySaintsPod
it's, yeah, I, look, they've, I've been looking at the scores of of the recent form, and obviously they've been losing, but it's been tight. It's been two nils, two ones. They did get beat four nil by Swansea.
00:20:42
DailySaintsPod
uh but other than that you know it's all been one or two goals so so i don't know i'm thinking i think i'm just gonna agree to make i think three nil is it feels like the right answer is it might be the first time we've ever predicted the same outcome but three nil just feels like the right amount doesn't it like it's it's enough we're gonna have shown and performance to push on and get those goals
00:20:52
Zak
Wow.
00:20:59
Zak
Just about
00:21:11
DailySaintsPod
but not like, you know, like I could potentially see the score going to five, six or seven, but i don't want to sit here and predict it let it be one nil because we just kind of barely scrape it across the line.
00:21:24
DailySaintsPod
Right. Like, like it it is possible, but also three nil feels a lot more like a likely outcome.
00:21:26
Zak
Yeah.
00:21:31
Zak
Yeah, well, the last time we beat them, it was 3-1, right? So they did manage to peg us back, but hopefully this time not not the case.
00:21:34
DailySaintsPod
Hmm.
00:21:39
Zak
And je then we can go, you know, i think looking at the the league leaders when they last played the mate on in October, they beat them So

Final thoughts and listener engagement

00:21:50
DailySaintsPod
Yeah.
00:21:52
Zak
three nail kind of works.
00:21:53
Zak
I think that that's suitable for both of us, right?
00:21:55
DailySaintsPod
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. oh Honestly, any amount of goals and a clean sheet and I'm happy. Even if it's 1-0 and we pepper them with 99 shots and none of them go in, it's still a win and a clean sheet, isn't it? so kind of is what it is.
00:22:12
DailySaintsPod
But yeah, another game to to look forward to and watch. And... Mate, part the joy the championship. They just keep coming, don't they?
00:22:19
Zak
