Southampton’s away struggles continued this weekend as Saints fell to a frustrating 2-1 defeat at Wrexham.

Lincoln Frustration, Eckert Questions & Swansea Preview | TSP 391
Southampton were minutes away from their first Championship away win of the season before Lincoln City’s late equaliser left Saints reflecting on another two points dropped—and raised fresh questions about Tonda Eckert’s game management. Martin Starke is joined by Alfie House, Tom Prentki and Martin Sanders to examine the 1-1 draw, from Welington’s spectacular goal and James Ward-Prowse’s return to the substitutions that allowed Lincoln to take control. Did the late switch to a back three invite unnecessary pressure, and does Eckert have enough quality on the bench to change matches? Those…
