Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome back to the Daily Southampton, part of the Global Sports Podcast Network. My name is Greg Elliott and as always today, you're my good friend, wonderful co-host, Zach Ingo Finch.
00:00:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
How you doing, my friend?
00:00:26
Zak
Yeah, I'm a too bad, mate. I'm all right. I'm hoping for a bit more of a game to watch tonight than, you know, i say a bit more of a game. It was an entertaining 0-0 draw. Just wish any of those chances went in.
00:00:40
Zak
I hope we go into this game with exactly the same energy and score two or three goals, right?
00:00:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely. And that's it.
00:00:46
Zak
That's what I want.
00:00:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
The games are coming thick and fast. We are away to Bristol City and it's going to be it's going to be an interesting one. I mean, Bristol are more likely to come at us than Swansea were. So that probably almost plays to our strengths, right?
00:01:04
Zak
so supposedly, right? Or they're going to score three times and we're not. This is what I worry about when it's like, well, we just need to play counter-attacking football. like, okay, well, let's get an opportunity where a club actually tries to play against us then.
00:01:20
Zak
Because like no disrespect to Swansea, like they clearly had a game plan and stuck to it. But it was like, the game plan was just don't let them let goal in and it worked for them. So fair play. But it wasn't exactly like throwing football to watch if you're a Swansea fan, was it?
00:01:32
Zak
So, hey-ho.
00:01:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, the last time we played Bristol City at Bristol City, I think, was the end of our 25-game unbeaten streak in the championship.
00:01:41
Zak
Oh, really? Oh, that's less than ideal. I don't remember.
00:01:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
So...
00:01:45
Zak
Genuinely, I decided to look into... Other than they were... Run by Liam Manning last season.
00:01:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:01:55
Zak
Obviously got to the playoffs, got knocked out by, i want to say Coventry. Was it maybe Coventry? Somebody, ive sort yeah, they want to say Coventry.
00:02:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:04
Zak
Definitely probably got that wrong. But I remember watching them and thought, oh, okay, they gave a spirited sort of performance. And then Liam Manning was, you know, in the contention to for us. If you remember, I did a whole episode on him.
00:02:15
Zak
and then ended up at Norwich, who are not doing great. And in their last game, they they beat Norwich. But like I was trying to look at what I knew about Bristol City, and it turns out, Greg, not a whole lot.
00:02:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:02:27
Zak
Joe Lumley's there currently. Yeah. I want to say third or fourth choice goalkeeper brought in as maybe second. And now I think he's on his way out to Sheffield Wednesday because they need an emergency keeper for, I want to say, the second time this season, which is a man.
00:02:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:02:45
Zak
I don't even know if he'll be able to play football if that club's still going exist. So i guess we'll I guess we'll see how that turns out. Other than that, like Tammy Abraham played for them at one point.
00:02:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:02:57
Zak
and and had like scored like 20 plus goals for a season for him before he kind of went into the big leagues. And and that's about all I know about Bristol City. Scott Tide, he used to play for Burnley, plays for him now. What's your Bristol City knowledge?
00:03:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, it's a nice town just north of Bath. that
00:03:18
Zak
that's That's just the town mate. talking about the football club.
00:03:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's it. That is the extent of my knowledge.
00:03:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I've got nothing.
00:03:25
Zak
but they they's do
00:03:26
Zak
They're seventh currently, but there's only four points between us and three of those points they earned the other day.
00:03:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
We're doing alright. Yeah. Yeah,
00:03:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah it seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. but like They lost to QPR but beat Norwich, which is... It's strange, but then other than that, yeah, they've been sort of up and down, couple of wins, a couple of losses, couple of draws.
00:03:31
Zak
they had a better start.
00:03:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just think i think they're going to come into the game feeling like it's theirs to lose. and And hopefully that, like I say, plays into our hands. we We'll get the ball on transition a bit better, put at least a chance away and bang, we're off to the races, right?
00:04:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Before you know it, I mean, we've we've had all of this negativity vibe and and disappointment of the draw at the weekend.
00:04:06
Zak
Yeah.
00:04:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
But also, if if we do come into this game, play like that and take away a win, I mean, that's that's five games unbeaten at that point with a win.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
So that's a much better outlook on life, isn't it?
00:04:25
Zak
Yeah, it's I think the thing is, like if you're looking at how it's been against Bristol in the past, though they've won five of their last six league meetings against us.
00:04:36
Zak
The only one they lost was 1-0, probably during that unbeaten streak, right? Obviously, they're the ones, I think, to end it. But yeah, we've lost eat the apparently we've lost each of the their last four league visits into Bristol City as well.
00:04:51
Zak
So the last time we we avoided defeat was a 1-0 win in 1979, mate. So the fates might not be on our side, but at the same time, you know every every game's different.
00:04:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
But also, I mean, you of all people know that those historical facts really count for nothing.
00:05:04
Zak
Oh, it's just garbage. Yeah, exactly. it's like It's like, okay, so obviously we watch other sports. It was like the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend beat the Raiders.
00:05:15
Zak
And it was like the first shout of Andy Reid's, I want to say domestic non-playoff season since like 2011, which is absolutely insane.
00:05:26
Zak
And also they threw three first downs, which is that like, that was it. for the entirety of the game, which is another like record breaker. And then bringing it back to the sport we actually care about.
00:05:38
Zak
you know Manchester United and Liverpool this weekend, right? like The first time they've beaten Liverpool at Anfield in, I don't know, like eight, nine years. And then the first time Harry Maguire scored Anfield since he was at Leicester. like Records and stuff like that, wonderful. They're there to be broken. Our biggest problem is that we tend to break them for other people.
00:05:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:05:57
Zak
So like they have a striker that's got a 57 game unbeaten streak.
00:06:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, no, that's not what you want to hear.
00:06:02
Zak
Put them out against us.
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's not what you want to hear.
00:06:04
Zak
Yeah. But that's my point. so So they're all there to be broken regardless. But.
00:06:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you want to hear what the what the AI thinks
00:06:09
Zak
it
00:06:11
Zak
Oh, good yeah, of course I do.
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
GPT-5 AI stats.
00:06:14
Zak
let me let's Let's tell me the same one that said that the Sheffield United was going to win when the league. Yeah. right.
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's a different one, but you know it probably feeds off similar data.
00:06:23
Zak
but But yeah, but but probably thought the same somehow though, mate. But please tell me, tell me how our how our AI companions in the world of nonsensical data feel about this game.
00:06:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, look, the first sentence is going to upset some of our fans. The market snapshot suggests a tight mid-table clash with clear scoring potential. The odds are very balanced where the safe bet seems to be Southampton for a win or a draw and over two and a half goals in the game, but under three and a half goals.
00:06:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm hearing Yeah.
00:06:58
Zak
Wait, but it's going to a 1-0 draw.
00:07:02
Zak
They're going to go 1-0 up.
00:07:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
I
00:07:04
Zak
We're going manage to score. then we're going to be like, yeah, we just couldn't get that second goal. we just don't know what's going on. Oh, but Leo Cienza, he played so well, though, guys, honestly. So well. you tell I'm still bitter from the weekend? 19 minutes, not a 0-0 draw that was so action-packed, but yet nothing happened at the same time.
00:07:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Indeed. Right, well, let's let's get into the thick of it, Zach. Let's have a think about how we are going to line up tonight and what that's going to look like.
00:07:33
Zak
Oh, good. Let's try.
00:07:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
But first, let's take a break and have a word from our partners at Bionique.
00:08:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, mate. And we are back. sure Short input from me. One force change, right? Because we think Yula took a knock and probably isn't available for selection.
00:08:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, Ryan Manning in. ten Ten other players staying in the lineup. That's it. Job done. Section. Stamp. Bing.
00:08:40
Zak
Hang on, hang on. So you're swapping out Ryan and Manning on the right for Gillette?
00:08:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:47
Zak
I don't think I've ever seen Ryan Manning play on the right. i would Surely would make more sense for fellows to go on.
00:08:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sure, yeah.
00:08:53
Zak
I wouldn't surprised if Manning comes back just because Wellington's just come back from injury and it's like three days later.
00:08:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
That makes sense.
00:09:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:09:01
Zak
And like we've learned that maybe we should do that with players in a really, really bad way.
00:09:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
You're right. No, you're right. Okay. Manning and Fellowes in. Uller and Wellington out. And that's it. The rest stays the same.
00:09:13
Zak
Yeah.
00:09:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Done. Yeah.
00:09:15
Zak
So,
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Segment over. That's it. No.
00:09:19
Zak
okay. So, so, so Alex McCarthy keeps his space. I mean, like, yeah, mean, mean, that's just kind of it now, isn't it?
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
but
00:09:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't see it changing at this point, right? Like, he had that one questionable moment in in the game against Swansea, right, where he did his best to do something stupid, but was bailed out by Yander.
00:09:28
Zak
So, I'm telling
00:09:37
Zak
you. Yeah, he tried real hard. He tried real hard to kick it directly to a Swansea player again. I mean, actually, to he managed to do that.
00:09:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
But...
00:09:44
Zak
It just didn't, you know, result in anything bad for us to, you know?
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
But other than that, he's been pretty solid. he's not Certainly not enough to drop his place, I wouldn't have thought. He seems to be the pick going forward. And as long as he and his body can maintain this pace, which in previous seasons was a question mark, I think that he'll be the the name on the team sheet.
00:10:07
Zak
So when it comes to strikers, you don't think that this is going to be a chance for... I'm going to ask the question every single time we have a team teammate just to see, just because it's always going to be a question mark until it's not.
00:10:20
Zak
do tweet Do we... Aribo, Dozie ever get a look in? Is that it now, you reckon Saints career over?
00:10:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, i see the think we've still touched on it, right? And who who misses out to bring them into the squad is the question. And I just don't think think anyone was poor enough in in Saturday's performance to justify dropping out to allow them to come in.
00:10:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, you know, I don't see... i just don't see the the problem with this big squad we talked about yesterday, right? Is that there's just not gaps for things like that without someone missing out.
00:10:53
Zak
Yeah,
00:10:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I don't but don't know who that would be.
00:11:00
Zak
yeah I think that's going to be difficult.
00:11:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Unless you want to, like... you know, say we give him Wellington a rest and, you know, Manning played a lot of minutes on international duty and played a lot of minutes for us before that. So if you're saying you still want to give Manning a rest, maybe you bring a dozy in at left wing back and see what happens.
00:11:18
Zak
I...
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
But...
00:11:20
Zak
I very much doubt it. yeah think yo I think you're probably right at this point. I just don't know. is Is it the best? Do you reckon that that is the best we've got, the best squad as well?
00:11:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Look, I think that... I think the the obviously the question you're asking about a rebos striker, right? I think that it would, it would almost be a damning indictment of Cameron Archer and Damien Downs. and Now we know Damien Downs is, is struggling in, in a lot of ways to settle in. Uh, and I hope that he comes good.
00:11:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
This, this isn't the time to put him, you know, to jump him out of the frying pan into the fire. Right. I don't think Cameron Archer was bad on Saturday. he got himself in positions, uh,
00:12:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
It just...
00:12:03
Zak
Shame none of them were kicking the ball in the goal, innit?
00:12:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but... I just... but Yes, you're right, but also...
00:12:07
Zak
But then was Arma much better, considering what's the problem?
00:12:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
he yeah I don't think Archer was bad enough on Saturday to to justify dropping out to a player that we've not seen even involved in the squad. That's where I'm at, right?
00:12:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, it seems so logical to just give him that run and and hopefully those goals will come. You know, we've seen what Archer's capable b of. He's perfectly capable of of putting the ball in the back of the net from exactly the positions that he very nearly did on Saturday. right Again, we're talking inches away from curling it in the top corner. like It's just, it's close and it's coming. and I don't think that of the two games left this week, this is probably the harder one, right?
00:12:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it makes sense to go into this with that strong lineup. And if we're going to rotate, which we're going to need to because because games come thick and fast, maybe we look to do that at the weekend rather than this. This is the game we need to give all the beans.
00:13:08
Zak
But arguably, do we have a bloated squad or we have an unfit squad? Because so if we've got a bloated squad, then you know we're having to swap people out constantly. don't know. I just feel like we're not we don't have a squad necessarily built at the moment for championship football, despite the fact that it's quite bloated and over overstated.
00:13:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:13:23
Zak
right like We've already had well quite a big injury concern now. Hopefully, it doesn't really hit anywhere else. like you know Wellington's come back off of being injured quite early on into the season.
00:13:35
Zak
So maybe it's not as...
00:13:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:13:37
Zak
big as we act like it is.
00:13:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's kind of bloated in an awkward way, right?
00:13:40
Zak
I think it's just...
00:13:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because it is a a big squad, but also it's not like the players are like for like in the ways that it's bloated.
00:13:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it makes it really difficult.
00:13:52
Zak
Yeah, I got you.
00:13:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's really like tricky. Like you all will bring so-and-so in like Ryan Fraser when he came on was, was all right on Saturday is like, we but can you slot him in as in the starting lineup? Maybe, maybe you rotate him with, I don't know, with Sienza if Sienza's, I mean, Sienza gets kicked a lot.
00:14:14
Zak
He really does.
00:14:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
But... So...
00:14:16
Zak
But that's because he's frustrating to play against, clearly, which is only a beneficial thing for us.
00:14:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:21
Zak
Yeah, no, I'm with you.
00:14:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
the
00:14:22
Zak
I just just wanted to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate and see, you know,
00:14:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you're right. and I mean, you had to because the three-word segment wasn't going to work out. but But I stand by it. Like, a strong... strong stable form heading into it uh into this game because it's it's probably the trickiest game of the week right in theory on paper as we love to say it's it's the game coming into these run of three games that you'd be most worried about so so you have to
00:14:58
Zak
Yeah, it's going to be, I think it's going to be, it's certainly the more difficult of the three. And I think that's one of the reasons that the the weekend was so frustrating because Swansea were just there for the taking, right?
00:15:11
Zak
And and they were, the entirety of the game, it didn't feel like they were going to score at any point. We didn't really put us under a huge amount of pressure and we just never got to over the line.
00:15:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
But some of that, as well as their willingness to play it out as a draw, some of that, especially in the first half, was us keeping them quiet with our...
00:15:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
greatly improved performance, especially defensively. So, you know, if we can see some more of that and put it, you know, genuinely think if we put the same level of performance in as we did against Swansea, that the result comes out better for us.
00:15:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just, i think it was such a freak game to finish nil-nil because I think the performance was so good. I think if you replay... that game with those players and that level of energy a hundred times, that's only a nil-nil draw, one of them.
00:16:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I know it's it's mad, but it's how it feels.
00:16:04
Zak
Yeah. I think the problem is, is are they going to have that level of energy, especially two two two so two three days after? That's my big concern, is if it's because they had a bit of time so quite a sort of regroup after the international break, bit time off, bit time to really come out and out of the you know absolutely galloping across the pit field. What I'm worried about is that they're going to be a bit tired coming. go It's not exactly a far journey to Bristol, but you know it's away and having to go there and in the evening and then sort of
00:16:35
Zak
I'm just hoping that it, it I'm hoping that that stays the same, right?
00:16:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Well, these are the spots where we learn a lot about our players, right?
00:16:40
Zak
Yeah,
00:16:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And whether they are capable of that because... Yeah, it's it's been said by other outlets that it's time to, you know, players to wind their necks in and sort of nut up or shut up. And this is where we we see who has and who hasn't, right? This is this is the games.
00:17:00
Zak
this great.
00:17:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Tuesday nights, it's going to be a wet, cold, miserable Tuesday night. So that's when the energy's got to be be there. It's got to be done.
00:17:10
Zak
so Sounds was good, mate.
00:17:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right, let's move on into everyone's favorite section, Discord predictions, see how we think it's going to play out. But first, let's have a break and a message from our partners at Zencastr.
00:17:23

00:17:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
As tradition goes, I'm going to throw you under the buss first. What are you feeling? are you feeling?
00:17:56
Zak
Well, you see, Greg, whenever I predict a win, it doesn't happen.
00:18:02
Zak
whenever I predict a loss, it usually does happen. I'm going to predict a draw and hope it's a win. so I'm probably going to go with 1-1.
00:18:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oof.
00:18:09
Zak
There's no real logic there. It's just what i feel. like I feel that this should have been the game. yeah of the three games that I would have wanted us to get at least seven points from, this should have been the draw.
00:18:20
Zak
And the other two should be easy wins, right? So you know if we manage a draw again today, i would be happier than a loss. Yeah. But I just yeah yeah just i just worry that they're not going to have the same energy levels as they did on Saturday.
00:18:36
Zak
That's my biggest concern. I'm hoping that it's you know completely... I'm hoping i wrong. Put that way.
00:18:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, yeah, is it's feasible. I can see it for sure. Who's scoring the goal? what What order? Are we we coming back from behind to clinch a draw or are we throwing away another lead?
00:18:59
Zak
I would say come back to clinch a draw. We're at their turf. I feel like they'll be more up for it. You know, they've obviously come off the back of a win as well, which is always a win against their former manager's new team.
00:19:11
Zak
So I have a feeling that they will score, we will score back. Let's go Siena to get his first goal, right?
00:19:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah?

Zak
but so That's probably... Yeah, like, I wouldn't be as mad. I'll still be mad. And I think everyone's still going to absolutely flip out if that's the result. But... That's just kind of how I could see playing out.
00:19:31
Zak
am i Am I relatively sort of personal?
00:19:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Alright. No, I like it. I mean, I don't like it, but I understand it. I'm thinking 3-1 Saints. three one saint
00:19:47
Zak
Right.
00:19:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just feel like we're going to push on.
00:19:49
Zak
Okay.
00:19:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
think the i know that the fan feeling around the performance on Saturday was disappointment because it was another draw. But I think that Will Steele's a good enough manager to get into the players that actually the performance was good.
00:20:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
It was improved. It's what we want to see. i think we're going to see more of the same. think we're going to come at it. I think we're going to get two early goals. i think Archer will put one away. i think Armstrong will put one away.
00:20:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Then I think we'll... do our famous Saints thing and sit off a bit and then we'll concede. And then the second half we'll push on and get the third to make it as comfortable as you're ever going to be as a Saints fan, which let's face it, it's not comfortable.
00:20:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Tom Fellows would get that goal because it wouldn't really be a score prediction unless I predicted Tom Fellows to score, would it?
00:20:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
i mean, the one week I don't predict it is when it will happen.
00:20:45
Zak
have to keep predicting it.
00:20:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:48
Zak
Hey, that's probably why you should stop doing it.
00:20:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, mom I'm feeling positive. I think that we can kick on. And if anything, I almost feel like we'll put all of that effort in and get this really good win here and then push ourselves into a position where we risk overlooking our opposition at the weekend and doing something stupid there.
00:21:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because that would also be very Saints. but But I'm feeling feeling good. I always love it when there's something to watch on a Tuesday night, mate. It's good.
00:21:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
so It's what we love, right? Yeah.
00:21:24
Zak
this is This is also true. Again, like it's not that I don't want us to win, mate. I just always have that pit of my stomach feeling that ain't going to go the way that we want it to go. I've been right thus far, so the earlier season, which is very upsetting, by the way. So hopefully hopefully I'm proved completely wrong and you're proven completely right.
00:21:44
Zak
Maybe there's not even a goal conceded. Maybe we just score three. That'd be nice.
00:21:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Well, look, it's it's the only football on Tuesday nights worth watching, so I'm excited for it. And I can't wait.
00:21:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, look,
00:21:58
Zak
Shade to European games there.
00:22:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
look who who's interested in Arsenal hosting Atletico Madrid at the Emirates when we've got Bristol City versus Saints in Bristol? What more could you want?
00:22:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is the best football game.
00:22:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm telling that you're entirely convinced by my pitch, but. but I'm excited.
00:22:21
Zak
mate.
00:22:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right.
00:22:22

Always.
