SaintsFC Call-in Show Post Coventry Reaction

0:00Hey, very good evening. Welcome back. It's another phony in show here on the football Martian channel. You can get involved as well. We've got plenty of guests coming your way in this show. Really looking forward to it. It's been a great weekend for Saints. Massive victory yesterday at the CBS. If you haven't checked out the match they vlog on the channel I ever I totally recommend you go check it out. But when this shows finish, don't watch it now. Watch it later. It was absolutely brilliant yesterday. Captured loads of limbs, loads of travel. And of course, my one and only trip to marks and spences at the end of the show as well and the food in was absolutely tremendous. I loved it. It was brilliant with a tie with a tie, Tigrin Currie, all the goodies. It was outstanding. I loved it. It was so good. But first and foremost, before we do get into the show, get involved in the comments box. Like the video because it helped push it to others. And if you're not subscribed, I'm

1:00aiming for 9,000 subscribers by the end of the season. Saints head towards the playoffs. And we're going to be there. I do think we're going to get the playoffs. I do believe. I keep believing. I'm not getting carried away, but I can just feel it. And I keep seeing little memories pop up from people popping on. Let's rewind and do it all over again. Those images of Wembley. How good would it be if Saints got to Wembley yet again? Right. Let's see who is in the live. We've got some guests coming out very shortly as well. Hi, Martin. Hope you're good. Yeah. I've mentioned the tie tonight. And yeah, it was absolutely cracking. May it was good. Absolutely. Brilliant. I guess it was a bit spicy. It was not spicy at all. It wasn't not at all. It wasn't. It wasn't at all. I thought it was great. Even Martin and all the Saints fans. Yeah, I think not everyone else has done their Saints show tonight. We've had total Saints podcast. Didn't see it. I've missed Liam and Ash on

2:00Saints Network tonight. But I want to catch up with that one at some stage tomorrow. That's my plan anyway. It's good to have you all here. It's Jimmy. Well, you say sorry for Jimmy. I know what you mean by that one. But there you go. We have Charlie coming up very shortly. We have we have plenty coming up at season nine. Charlie's coming up at 10 past nine. We've got my dad coming on at 20 past nine. We've got Ellie joining us at around 11 30. Josh Kemp is joining us on the show as well. And when I said Charlie, so yeah, it's the young lad that came on the other night. Absolutely brilliant football Sam is in the live. My friend is good to have you here, Sam. This show and every other show on the football mountain channel is sponsored by these guys in that bottom right hand side of your screen DNS carpets massive shout out to our sponsors DNS carpets. Sam's dad is a sponsor of the channel. I I loved it at the CBS. Good stadium, by the way.

3:07I really enjoyed the visit. Really enjoyed the game. It was just all the limbs mate. When that second one went in, we're brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. They were really, really good, really good. It was it was epic actually. And yeah, the the smiling faces around you can't be in a way day when you win a way days when you win, you cannot beat. And yesterday was just one of those where it was just absolutely magnificent. We got loads coming your way this evening. We're going to look ahead actually to the knowledge game and lit in a little bit of a little bit of chat. We're not going to do a preview at the previews coming up on the channel on the next couple of days, like they always do. The tide box was better value than those Sarni's at the pret services outrageous mate. Four and a half quid that was. And it was literally one bit of ham, a couple of gurgings in a sea of batter row. Absolutely rip off rip off of epic proportions. But Marx and Spencer's absolutely made

4:08up for it. It was it was cracking absolutely cracking. That was last night. And actually this weekend I've been really bad of it. We're really bad this weekend. Like really, really bad. I need to be much better this week. Went out Friday for dinner, traveling yesterday. We're going to look at the championship form guy when Ellie comes on as well later. We're going to have a look at Norwich and how well Norwiched in it. I saw a stat around Norwich today. I've looked at the games they've played since we played them at the start of December. So we played we played Norwich at the start of December. They've only lost four league games since then. So Mark, that would be fantastic. If you could mate, Mark's just sent me a text message. He's going to come on the show as well, Mark. So that will be good. I will public guess. And what I will do is if you still got that number from the other night, it's the same number. I just let you know when to call in. So Mark's going to come on and join us as well. The goalkeeper. I love him. Daniel Pirates.

5:10I make you think so. I'm just going to keep the goalkeeper. Yes, I do. He was brilliant yesterday. Excellent. And there's a massive injury crisis. It's by Munich as well. But they can't they can't recall him. I don't think from from what I'm hearing. They don't they can't recall Alex is in the live. Yeah, mate. Love to get you on, mate. That would be amazing. Love to get you on Alex. That would be great. You'd be a superb guest on the channel as well. Alex is great. There's some great written articles as well. There's some great stuff. This is pretty cool. This show. I love it. Love the content mate. Who did you use to play for on the island? Sure, well, mate. Sure. Well, United and a bit of time at Bryston as well, which is pretty cool. I play some good local football. I just love going to watch Saints. Imagine if we'd add him at the start of the season along with a goalkeeper, by the way. Larin has our most complete striker since Danny Ings, a massive signing. If we keep him for next season, yeah, he would be a superb signing. We've got our first guest coming up very shortly on the show. It's going to be Charlie. Young

6:13Charlie's coming on first this evening. That is to plan anyway. Sean, good to have you on the live, mate. Always good to have you join us. I'm just going to read it. Hi, mine. Have you watched Adam Blackmore interview in Tonda becoming increasingly annoyed at his style of interview? Would much prefer yours any charge he could replace him? I love it. Adam is amazing with his content. I love to do some interviews. Have reached out to the club and I have asked them if I can interview Tonda Eckert at some stage and I think I could bring out something out of him that no one answers brought out of him. Yeah, I do enjoy my, I do enjoy interviews and the opportunity to try and extract a bit more out of him that maybe hasn't been extract, extracts out of him yet would be really, really good. Right. We're going to get our first guest on the show very shortly. That is the plan. Our first guest this evening is Charlie. I'm just going to make sure you're connected, Charlie. Charlie, can you hear me? Charlie, great to have you on the show, mate.

7:14You joined us the other night and you spoke very well and I was keen for you to come back on. Mate, what a result yesterday. Talked to me. How good were we? Yeah, I mean, I thought we were unbelievable. I think if you compare us to the Wednesday night, we're a completely different side. I think the way that we controlled the midfield, the win and I like fluid balls that we were playing and we were very connected as a team is completely different from Wednesday. It was so good, weren't it? Well, you surprised, I want to ask you, Charlie, when you saw the team sheet drop, I was like, what's he doing? And I looked at three central midfielders. Did you, did you look at it? I think the same. Yeah, I was a bit worried about the pace we had in the team with Matt Suki and his outs. I didn't really know what was going to happen there. I didn't know if it was going to be four three two one or a fourth or like a four three and then two wings and striker, but seemed like we controlled the midfield very, very well. Yeah, we did control it well. Who shot for you yesterday? If you could pick a player out,

8:15look, I thought everyone played well yesterday. If I'm honest, Charlie, I think there was many back, there wasn't a bad performance. If there's anybody you could pull out that played really well yesterday, who was it? I mean, I think parrots were probably, obviously, in my opinion, I think he prevented, I think it was one point three XG, which is unbelievable. Yeah, that's so good. That's so good. Yeah, the balance was amazing. Yeah, Flynn was good. He was good. I put Daniel Preetz actually on the screen. If you're watching on YouTube, five big saves, distribution was good again, yesterday as well. He touched the ball a lot. He had a lot of the ball. 49 touches as a goalkeeper yesterday. His average rating in the rating show we did last night was really good. I'm going to look at what he got here. I give him a nine. He got an 8.6 last night, Charlie, from the Saints fans. That's pretty fair as well, isn't that? Yeah, I'm going to have to give him the 10 or 9.5. I'm honest. Yeah, he was so good. Did you see that by Munich have a bit of an

9:15injury crisis with a goalkeeping situation as well? Actually, Adam's honest, but it wouldn't surprise me though in our luck for basically. Yeah, it was across some social media this afternoon. I spent a bit of time looking through and they're saying that incredible. By Munich have no goalkeepers available. All their goalkeepers are injured, including their number one man now, Noah. But there'll be no way that they can record Daniel at their stage of the season. The big question is for you, mate. If we can, you keep him, wouldn't you? Oh, yeah, 100%. I mean, he's already proven what he can do for us. I don't really think we can do another goalkeeper ahead of him, especially not the zoo knew. So in my eyes, it's a no-brainer. Just spend the money. Mate, I had somebody text me about the zoo knew today and said to me, the zoo knew we'll be up back with you in the summer. Pointless loan at Stoke, one game only. He's been injured. Even if he comes back, Saints were moving on one day. His days are done, aren't they? Yeah, I think he's, I think he's just like heavily by our fan base. I think

10:18Karthian is only both far. So I think it's the best for his career and for us if he's never done. Yeah, you touched upon Flynn down some a minute ago in his performance just today. He got his second goal of the season yesterday. He was freed up in his holding role by Cameron Bragg and he put in his best performance of the season, didn't he? He looks every bit the player that we saw two years ago, doesn't he? Yeah, he's like a reborn. I mean, compared to the last season, he's unbelievable. Yeah, he's been impressive, and he's really impressive. Um, Karthian Bragg sat in the field just today. What were you thoughts on his performance? I mean, I think he was very, very good just there. For a young man, I think he played a very mature performance. I think he was very, I'm reliable in the ball. He was very creative as well. I think he gave Flynn down to that authority to go at the pitch and be a bit more expressive and I think it worked perfectly. Yeah, he did. A few people in the chat and they're saying

11:19great tactics yesterday. The tactics were spot on one. He fair play to Tom Dereckett. He got it really, really spot on. Yeah, he did. I mean, I think he suggested about how was it rhymes that was a heartbeat of their team. That's why he played the three in midfield to just stop that flow and it really worked. Yeah, yeah, he did. Yeah, absolutely, you're spot on, absolutely spot on. It was an all round good performance. Loads of people joining the live this evening as well. Before you go, mate, I want to grab some thoughts on the Norwich on Wednesday night. When you look at this game, it's big, really. I think in running, and then you could tell me if I'm being totally wrong, Charlie and what I'm saying, I actually think this could potentially be one of the hardest gains between now and the end of the season. Yeah, huge. I mean, sort of stat the other day, it was if you joked on the second half of the season, I think Norwich would either second or first. I mean, that unbelievable unflipped him on. So I think it's going to be a

12:21really tough match, but I mean, I'll back us at home. Yeah, what's the score prediction before you go? Give me a score prediction. What you going with? You're going to go with the win? Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to have a two one thing. I'm going to go on laryn as as then. Oh, and then Jod, then mate. I love it. I love it. Charlie, it's been great to have you back on the show, mate. Thank you very much for being our first guest this evening, my friend. Thank you. Yeah. See you soon, mate. That's our first guest on the show this evening. If you want to get involved, you can do so just you can do that by I'm going to get Anika to put the phone number on the on the chat very shortly, but we do have quite a lot of guests in the build up to around about 10 o'clock to be going to be pretty busy between now and 10. Any news on Leo, the manager said it was touching go and he didn't he couldn't really give an update on it from yeah, I'd be surprised. I'm going to say too much, but I don't think we'll see him until after the international break,

13:23but that remains to be seen. He maybe he may he may be back and about lots of chat about Adam Blackmore actually in the in the comments box. He definitely won't be tuning in, so I'll read a few of them out. I'll press frustrate me at times. We don't hear nearly enough about the tactics, a guy from ASP interview, Tonda, after the film game, and he gave much more than an insight than we are usually given. And I think that is like it's digging into him, isn't it? He is a real tactical guy. I think you just really need to dig into him. I think press conferences can go through the motions if you're not careful. Team news, updates, and sometimes like I think I think different people get different like different things out of a manager. I think when I interview Will still actually I got a lot more out of him than a lot of others did and I got I got questions answered that had not been posed to him and it was a bit more personable and it was different because I'm not from the press. And that's the beauty of me in this channel. I think I can bring

14:23that edge to what we do. So hopefully the club are watching this and they certainly enjoy it. I know that the players tuning they they respect it. So we're getting more respects, but hopefully we get more opportunities to get involved. There isn't an easy game left for the rest of the season. Yeah, we just have to keep winning. I just think this knowledge game is a brilliant commentator. Absolutely brilliant commentator. I totally agree. Probably a better commentator than he is interviewer. I agree with that one. Rams don't ever come in back. Bazoon also he's going. Yeah, not the not the greatest. My dad's coming up on the channel next. He was with me in the studio last week, but he's going to come on in around a minute's time. We're just going to give him a ring get him on the show. Got producers and anarchists helping produce the show in the background, which is absolutely tremendous. Totally agree with this one. Just set the story if you will,

15:26he has to follow. Yeah, I get it. Totally get it. I'm rehearsed and raw. That's what everyone wants interviews from a fan. Yeah, it's pretty amazing really that we had the opportunity to do what we've done this year really. It's been really good to be able to interview Leo. It's been really, really good to interview. Obviously we'll at the start of the season as well. Plenty of you tuning in. Really appreciate you being here. Bayern Munich cannot record a keeper. The deal is already in place. Yeah, exactly. Saints do want to exercise it as well. I'm hearing evening mate. Josh is joining us on the live later on as well. Be great to get you on. Enjoy your wheel still interview. Definitely need more of that. Do the right things. Saints says Alex, absolutely mate. Hopefully we get him and chat to Tonda at some stage later in the season. Hopefully before the playoffs really, really kicking if we can get there. Talking to playoffs. My dad's coming on

16:30the show next, which is always a pleasure to get my dad on because he's tremendous when he comes on and talks about Saints with us. Do you reckon you'd be able to interview Tonda one day? That's certainly the plan, mate. That's what I'd like to be able to do. I've asked the question and hopefully they will let us do it. Right. My next guest is here and that is my dad. Roger, dad. Good to have you on, mate. How are you doing? I'm fine. Thank you, Martin and you. Yeah. Big win yesterday. You had the pleasure of watching it from the comfort of your own home. You don't do away games, but tell me commentary on skies. A lot of people texted me and tweet me saying, oh, I'm out of the commentary. He's really biased on sky. Was it biased? I was terrible. I was terrible. Lee Hendry was his normal win G1. He grew up myself. Very, very, you know, it's all Frank Lampart's commentary, isn't it? And I think it's Gary

17:31Wheeve. It was the commentary. Yeah, rubbish. Scott Sky, I mean, I was watching the Man United game today and I thought I'd tuned into Man United TV. Yeah, it's bad, but it did detract from the performance. I thought it technically, he got it spot on yesterday. I wasn't convinced before the kickoff, but I'm just hugely impressed with this young manager. We've got, I think he's I think he's maturing. I think he's beginning to look as though he's going to be a serious quality manager. Yeah, I've been old on through for a while. Yeah, we love Cam Bragg, don't we? We talk about Malot when we're off camera. He brought him in yesterday in Obigus game and we're running. It was it was it was a huge game. He put a massive trust in him, didn't he? Like huge trust, but he rewarded him with that unbelievable performance. Yeah, well, he put him in that holding, holding role in the midfield, which is a really difficult position to play, but

18:32he just mastered it. He looks so comfortable. He's just going to be such as such. Well, he's already a good player. Yeah, I mean, he is going to be a first to do player week in week out with it for sure. But I was impressed with him, having him with that role yesterday, giving him the opportunity to get forward more. I think he's probably in some of the best form he's been since we got promoted, to be honest with him, if not his best form at the club. That's the business, don't he? Looks so good. And the defence were just outstanding again. I mean, the keeper, the keeper made a world class side. I mean, if that had been in the Premier League, it'd have been Jordan Pickford. It would have been all out of the papers today. It was class minute. It was brilliant. So good. It's just a simple thing. We've said it before, playing before at the back just makes this such a harder team to beat. It really does. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really good.

19:36Talk about that back for. I popped up a man on the screen that's been being criticised a lot throughout the season. But he's been very consistent in recent weeks since Wellington got injured, Ryan Manning put another good shift in yesterday. He had a lot of touches of the ball, four crosses, one eight jules. And he was right at it again, wasn't he? Yeah, I think he's, I think since the back four, they set up playing that again. I think we've seen some of the best, the best display since he's been at the club. I think he's done really well. I do like his attitude. I think he, you know, he gets stuck in and he works really, really hard. Yeah, he makes, he makes the obvious statement that everybody makes the mistake. But yeah, I've been really, I've been really, him, him a breath of really been exceptional. I mean, bring a breath back. It's like having a brand new player, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's been, he's been, been so, so good. A few thoughts on

20:36Cameron Bragg coming in, people would join our conversation about him. Cameron Bragg will be a Premier League star in the future. Whether it be Saints or not, do you think you're playing the Premier League Cameron Bragg? Yeah, I think he should do definitely. I mean, you know, he's for his age and you know, where he's come from. Yeah, I don't see why not. I mean, everybody braved about Fernandez. And you know, arguably Bragg's a different player. But in, you know, in some respects, he's more of a complete player in my opinion. Yeah, he's quality. Really, really quality. Big game Wednesday. How big is Wednesday for Saints? You know, can't be mistaken for being an easy game because they're in some ridiculous form. I'm going to pop it on the screen for everyone to see as well. This is the recent six game form guide for the championship. They've won six of their last, they've won six. Yeah, they've won six of their,

21:36yeah, one, two, three, four. Yeah, they won five of their last six games in the championship. 15 points from six games is a good return. Yeah, I mean, he, you know, the managers coming in and he's done really well there because they were like us. They were really rock bottom. They were really struggling. And he's, obviously, he's an experienced manager in, managed in Europe and at Rangers. But I think it's going to be a real tough one on Wednesday. It could be a banana skin. I think, I think we're going to have to be really, really up for it. But at the moment, we, you know, hope and pray we can get to the international break. And, you know, we, you know, we get two more wins beyond this and we're, you know, we're in with a fight engine. We're in with a fighting chance now. I thought before yesterday, it was probably 60, 40% chance of us getting near the playoffs. And I think, I think it's probably,

22:36it's probably 50, 50, 50 maybe even a bit better than that now, I think. Yeah, I think we do it. I think we do it. They've got a lot of momentum there. They've got, they've got an identity. They actually believe in the, the first time they believed in a manager. For a while, they, I think they believed in Russell Martin earlier on. But I mean, obviously, that went, went south. The others were just awful irrelevance. He's almost. It's mad, isn't it? Like even, even Eurich was going to bin off Lin Downs pretty much a year ago. And he, it must have, like, played with his head. He lost all his form when the Premier League got exposed because we played a terrible system. He doesn't work downs in it in a, um, Yeah, but we said that all along because because you don't go through a season like that without

23:49having repercussions mentally for the players and for the fans and we spoke about that and this at the start of this season I thought we'd be lucky to be mid-table, I thought the damage was so ingrained and to be fair we've got we've done a lot better than that already in my opinion but I wanted to talk, it's been a lot of comments about Adam Blackwell and the local media and this is my take up on it I think I think working for somebody like the BBC and working for the evening echo you've got certain restraints even if they're not told they're restraints so I think

25:11it's still not up to speed with it yeah new media's changed pretty quick in it it's changing quickly how people get the football news like this didn't exist two years ago like proper saint's content you couldn't get it anywhere just could get it anywhere but it's the time with everything Martin as I said you know we've been talking about my books the TV adaptation and all that sort of thing and it's now moved on from trying to sell something to a production company for television it's to sell it to YouTube I mean BBC and making programs now especially for YouTube and we'll watch YouTube all the time that all of a sudden it's all changed and although people like the you know I mean solace coverage of saints is brilliant you know you've got around it too I mean you know Adam and Jo is superb they do a they do a good job but they do a different job than what you're doing yeah and the the next step is that really like the club

26:17need to start recognising what you and other people are doing more than they already they'll really recognise it but you need to be in that circle you need to be in that fold you need to have access and content to players to the manager because it's it's it's just as in important facts in more important role in some respects because you you and and and you know the total saints boys and Jimmy cheese and come on you are the voice of the fans and the fans are the customers at the end of the day yeah it's a great conversation I've enjoyed having you on mate thank you very much indeed dad we'll see you in the week thank you mate yeah that was my dad on the channel making some good points yeah he talks well and then my dad always talks well Alex is saying the players look to really trust in tonda I like how the team gets a man of the moment to do the fist ponds post match it's a good point actually flin downs as brilliant as they

27:18only come across to the to the fans is really really good um yeah shout out to Alvie House as well he always put in saints first yeah massively loves saints even though he's a Bristol city fan he massively does love saints he's uh yeah he's good he asked some good questions as well enjoy his content enjoy his coverage of of Southampton he used to watch this a lot I don't if he still does but he did watch it a fair bit but his content is good I subscribe to the echo actually I know a lot of people don't but 27 points up for grabs I've put the head to head on your screen for the game against Norwich Norwich and brilliant form recent results are on there as well in the last three games between the two clubs has been a draw there's been a win for saints and I win for Norwich last last time round just at the start of December um downs called uh tonda he did he did he did um yeah I saw that I thought was a brilliant um brilliant uh interview actually really really good um teamwork can make dream work but everyone in the team has

28:22to work together that is very very important we've got another guest very shortly we're working through our guests this evening we've got a few regulars that that we speak to a lot we've got Ellie joining us very shortly and then after Ellie I've got Josh Kemp who used to join us on the tiktok sessions that we did we used to do this on tiktok it was full of bots though and and idiots so we we we kind of we come away from doing it on tiktok and I wanted to do it here able to do that now so Josh was always really good and really knowledgeable and had a really good opinion on saints so I'm going to get him in and yeah he'd be a great guest brave Ellie on first I have a chat with Ellie she was at the CBS yesterday um with us we were interviewing fans and chitchatting away and and everything else and uh yeah it was brilliant we didn't we had a few clowns around us when we were trying to uh when we were trying to make some content we would chat about that very shortly as well right Ellie is here actually Ellie it's great to have you on thanks Martin how are you doing yeah good how good was yesterday

29:24unbelievable unbelievable I think it's it's even better when when you go to these games and you know as positive as you can be as a saint span you got got that realistic head on as well so when you you don't really expect everything from the game and you get it it's just it makes it that that much better as it did you know then fill them in the cup as well so yeah so please and today's been a great day in the journey home last night wasn't too bad in the end yeah how was it journey because you took a different route to me uh to Coventry yesterday I went with the uh next away travel you went on the training you I don't think it was particularly straightforward though was it no it wasn't the train journey home was a nightmare we we actually waited for a couple of hours after the game and spent some time with Chris and and and sort of some of some of the rest of the others and we remember some food but we got on the train and it was only like a full carriage train and it ended up just it was so busy and it just took just felt like it took a while but but if we got there in the end I think had had we lost yesterday that probably might not and might

30:27not have been as good on the way home yeah it would have been a horrible journey home but it was a brilliant atmosphere in the way and wasn't it like your dad commented we we exchanged a couple of messages earlier and we were talking about the the stadium yesterday it was actually a really good place to go and watch football it wasn't it I I really enjoyed it there yesterday I thought the atmosphere was good like that the concourse was good just around the ground was nice wasn't it it was a good place to go it was yeah and like you know at half time and before the game being able to get drinks it was quite quick compared to what I think we're used to it the berries where it can take a bit longer yeah it wasn't nice it was a good ground and and the Saints fans were great as they always are it's a fantastic atmosphere and especially when when we go on they'll ask it yeah it's just a great atmosphere and it's always good to be involved with now you were quite confident before weren't you before the game you thought you said we can do this you you were you were you were feeling it before before the game even started you there's a few around us that were confident weren't they yeah I mean I think every Saints fan I interviewed

31:29before the game Master and every single one of them said two one yeah there was a lot of two ones I nearly I need done edits on all of those apart from the start but I didn't have time I did yeah I think it was it was good to see the positivity and I think with the games as I said on the channel yesterday with these types of games they they can so they can go either way you know Coventry are probably going to go on and and win the league and those three points would have would have meant a lot some yesterday as as they meant for us and that you you just never know the football and that's why we all love football because it's so unpredictable and you just don't know what's going to happen so yeah I think people were were confident that it was good to see a bit of confidence given the performance we had against West from and and that being so poor it was good to see that people people were up for it and yeah it really came across in the game to the players it's hard to pick a standout player obviously you've got to talk about correct and that saves you've got to talk about fling down how big was it by the way how big was that so unbelievable and he's made such a difference having him in goal rather than

32:36the Zunu and I think fling down obviously was was great as well as a few others have said but every single one of them in the team just played brilliantly it was it's really hard to pick out you know key players and you know the best players because they all performed so well and they you know there was there was that fight back that fight that we were missing for a period of the season it seems to have all come back yeah at the right time as well I've just got a nice comment to read to you Ellie Sean's in the live watching the stream and he says Ellie is as he's braggie great content yesterday Ellie in the match day vlog if you haven't checked out guys go check out on match day blog yesterday some brilliant content in there you're enjoying it aren't you Ellie you're doing a great job as well oh yeah I love it I absolutely love it it's so great to you know to to capture all different Saints fans and get different opinions and it's brilliant and yeah I've been loving doing it so I'm just excited to continue and yeah onto Wednesday we've got some good opportunities coming up as well to interview some ex legends in a few months time

33:38if there's anyone you could interview an ex-player if you could look back and say right Martin I want to I'll I'll get you any player you want to interview who would it be and why wow that's a good question I think I think probably the one that comes to my mind straight away and that's because he was the the star man when I first started watching this date was Ricky Lambert because he was he was sort of the main man in in my my first days watching Saints but I think this isn't such a big player that I'd love to interview that's some more recent and and some forms all the old days so it's really hard to say but the first one that pops my mind when he said that was probably be Ricky Lambert be Ricky Lambert well we have to try and make some dreams come true this summer really plenty plenty coming coming out I popped up on the screen and a while ago I don't if you saw it and we were talking about the form of knowledge ahead of the midweek fixture look how good their form is they're in some unbelievable form in the last six they've

34:40won five of them they're the in-form championship side they've played share I don't know that sheffield night sheffield Wednesday where they played sheffield night and sheffield Wednesday they have played Preston they've played Lester Paul and Oxford so they gave and and Birmingham lost the Birmingham so they've not come up against a side in form like Saints yet it's a big game though isn't it at home it is huge and I think you can't go into these next couple of home games against Norwich Noxford thinking that they're going to be easy games you know Norwich how she said to have what one and one five in the last six Oxford haven't lost they won three strong one of the other four games both of them are not doing badly and you know Oxford have got a lot to play for they're trying to not go down and that's all got a bit more exciting at the bottom of the table now two hasn't it but but yeah I think I hope the players can take a little bit of confidence from the fact that we've gone to Coventry beaten Coventry we've gone to Solan we've beat Solan we can

35:43win these games and I think it's really important to look at the rest of the season as well obviously we're with three points behind Rex now six points behind Hull with a game in hand we've got to play Rex them but if you look at Rex and games as well they're final two games this season they've got to play Coventry and they've got to play Middlesbrough from the mean a lot to those those teams Hull have also got to play Coventry too so I think obviously that game between Saints and Rex and it's going to be so important that there's there's other opportunities for Rex and Hull to drop points so I think that we can continue going on this run keep putting pressure on on the couple of teams above us and and hopefully it'll go well and we can get into those playoffs in the end yeah close eyes tomorrow Ellie would be on Fratton because Darby county play Portsmouth tomorrow and and Darby are sort of right in behind us they've got 54 points Portsmouth desperately need a win they are getting sucked into the relegation dogfight where they're well and truly in it Oxford now with 39 points Portsmouth have games in hand

36:46where you'd be keeping an eye on that one tomorrow night because it's definitely good yeah Darby playing they're right in amongst us they are it's also close it's not it's not just that that's fighting for that for that final playoffs but is it I'll definitely be be keeping an eye on that one because what I mean pumpy look like they were going to be all right a few weeks ago and as you said they've been they've been dragged right back into it so they're obviously as you said they've got a game or two in hand but we'll have to see how it goes because it's very exciting at the top of the table and also that the bottom isn't it I think it'll be apart from Shuffle Wednesday it's I'm not quite sure who's going to who's going to take those last relegations but so to the whole league so close and it's got to be great end isn't it can be good into the season like a proper good end I'm just looking at the match odds actually for tomorrow night's game Portsmouth have got a 42% chance in the pre-match odds of winning it 29% of an away win I got a funny feeling Darby go there and win tomorrow not just because we're Saints fans I just think they go there and win yeah yeah I don't know I think

37:47it's as each game goes on it stops to mean more and more to everyone doesn't it so I think Pompeol obviously have the advantage that they are at front and parking and the fans can get behind them there but yeah it would be a bit more well hard to say it'll be a result from the Darby lose that I mean Pompey winning wouldn't it but but yeah I who knows what's going to happen tomorrow night and hopefully then then we can go and get the result on Wednesday and parking in even better position than we're in now yeah definitely just got another comment I want to read you quickly before you go had the pleasure of meeting Ellie Charlie and company who were sat in front of us great Saints fans real credit to the channel I love their knowledge and optimism up the Saints so a nice comment finish on a high with Ellie you got loads of love on the channel tonight they were they were lovely as well yesterday we had we had a great chat with them after the game so yeah they were really nice thank you very much yeah Ellie be looking for 14 you're on Wednesday night we'll make some more great content and yeah we've got loads of home games there's six home league home games left to create content on so we'll be well over it

40:56yeah absolutely yeah I thought so as well he's been great to have a round we're chatting more about Daniel Perez very shortly with our next guest coming up on the channel because we we have someone you someone that's not been on on one of these shows before a guy I know very very well he speaks a lot of sense Josh welcome along to the calling show mate how you doing I'm all good you mate yeah it's good to speak to you we haven't spoken mate for a long long time mate we've got some form going at the minute mate haven't we we certainly haven't the minute we're we're flying so I think we can just go in and pick it up the wedding yeah we're in some really really good form aren't we it's been uh been quite the turnaround because I don't know about you I think we may be able a few Texas about it but after Christmas it felt uh it felt a bit bleak didn't it yeah it did it things weren't looking too good um it looked like players are going to be you know potentially up and then going like arwood bearless um yeah but now we're on the up and

41:57out so I think we can get into the fire yeah do you think we can can like realistically it's all there to play for you look at where we're at we've got some big games coming up but do you do you feel it's there to be had you think we can do it oh I definitely can see I was getting in there I mean a whole lot of very inconsistent so if you don't catch Rex and I think we'll catch wrong to be honest yeah I think you're right I think hold the the catchable team mate in my opinion there it's a big defeat for them yesterday they lost to West Brom and kind of made me feel a bit better about our West Brom result on Wednesday after seeing their result yesterday afternoon it was it was a bit of a surprise actually wasn't well West Brom are down there fighting for their lives aren't they we just had the game away absolutely so we look very legging in that game I think you'll learn is less in it you know get to ask them and rotate a bit more because ever we got Rex and not after that is that right yeah so our fixtures full as um let's have a quick look I'm going to get it up

43:01I can't put it on the screen but I can really mount um but yeah we've got Oxford at the weekend haven't we then it's the then it's the international break uh then we play uh let's see how it falls actually so we've got obviously knowledge on Wednesday then it's Oxford then you're right it's Rex and you're right it's Rex and that's the next uh league game and that's been scheduled I think for the two am I saying it's the my right I say it's the Tuesday night isn't it yeah I think it's the Tuesday night so FA Cup on the Saturday night and then Rex and who won't play they will play on the Friday I believe because they're they're being good Friday action but they obviously missed the Monday play the Tuesday so they get days extra rest but that's not a lot in the grand scheme of things I'm just going to have a look at their fixture mate on good Friday and see who they play so they've got what for the midweek away they've got Sheffield United on Saturday they play West Bronnmate at the Hawthorns on the third so that is a tough game in it yeah that won't be an easy

44:07game so we'll see they're fighting for their lives and you've seen what they've done to hold so yeah they're banging forward and up for it yeah what were your thoughts on on team line up yesterday because we're all like bewildered when we're at the stadium and like what's he doing there's no dosy there's no fellows he put an extra man in the field and tactically outdone Lampard big time yesterday didn't he now when I initially saw the team I said that's quite a workman like sort of team and totally tactically outfought Lampard really because he watched it yandered with grinds his shadow all game yeah and grinds never really got into the game and that's dictated it's really up stars and commentary really yeah there we did he stopped grinds playing because he's he's like the man that makes him tick isn't he and can Bragg sitting in there was brilliant wasn't he Bragg's brilliant player he's getting better with every game you watch him he's he's been great isn't he yeah he's gonna be a really good player definitely he'll play in

45:13the pregame really at some point yeah I believe you always well I've been saying that for a few weeks now he's just he's just got better and better and better what do you think you do going into the game against Norwich do you think he will let he go with the same team or do you just think you're inject a bit more pace back in maybe give Matt ski a rest or do you just think he keep with the winning team I think being at home I think those who probably come in to be honest and put his ass back into the hole and yeah probably drop yandered to be honest yandered did his job Saturday and then what about Charles he took a little bit of flak there's a few comments in the chat about him probably the one that wasn't quite at it at the moment he just took a little while settle into the game yesterday he's not really got himself back up to speed since that injury is he's not really got going yet is he no he just looks off the pace and he just wants too long the ball will be time yeah what I found when we were at last brawl he was taking so long and the ball

46:15they just make it often every time yeah it's surprising because he's such a highly rated player it's been a bit of a fall off sort of like the second bit of this season whether he can pick it up as we head towards the playoffs but I look at the team now and I might be a bit harsh and saying I think Bragg's ahead of him yandered's ahead of him down so three of them are probably in a bit at the moment on form look the better three don't they oh definitely but if you remember the last time they're in the championship Charles and Downs they just can't play together they wouldn't do the same job really yeah yeah they did it's right it's it's worth remembering everyone that it because it didn't work did it it was a bit of a disaster yeah it just never worked because they they they don't really have the legs to get up and down the picture game Downs obviously adds a bit more this season but not so much Charles we haven't seen that therefore when you see sort of Charles we thought we'd be getting yeah here's what I mean there's therefore when it's a child that is that's for sure um yesterday at the CBS when Cameron

47:18actually come on there was a few moans and groans around me when he come on I want to give them a little bit of credit actually when he come on is that I thought it first touch was bad first cut the touches are really really shocking yeah but he worked bloody hard when he was on and he worked really really hard to get himself in the game and in the end I thought you know what he made a bit of an impact as a subject today Cameron Archer um I know it's been tough for him but did you see the same as they were was it just me just trying to be positive again though if you watch what Tom did actually did he actually put his ass up from and Archer was again just doing Gandhi's job so as that was able to hold the ball up a bit more than what Archer was so what that was quite actually clever again yeah Archer's just frustrating he's very it's frustrating he's a really frustrating player a lot a lot of people were frustrated by his ass as well but where did you sit on the on the on the fitness as as as a player because I like him a lot um people are not everyone that comes on the channel it like him but what's your thoughts

48:24of him as a player if you've been impressed but what you've seen yeah I think fans need to lay off thing you like the one creative fair we've been crying out for quite a long time playing the center of the pit and Fred Bulls for a lot he does and he he worked hitting the goals but again his first thoughts can be very frustrating at times but yeah he has moments of quality in him so you can't really too harsh really yeah yeah you can't be too harsh on him at all I'm totally with you I like him I think he's absolutely chops someone I've just said Archer did quite well and hopefully his confidence some good he needs confidence confidence everything in football isn't it and that's like the rum we're on at the moment isn't Josh it's all about momentum and keeping that I think Alex made a really good comment a minute ago in the chat and I'm kind of missed it I was going to highlight it and just keeping momentum is going really good because an unbeaten run is definitely the priority because when you come off it it can be quite

49:25the fall off if we're not careful and I think Alex had said that is it the thing for me is just keeping the unbeaten run going maybe just to run was so important in 2324 our form fell off a cliff once we lost but it did didn't it it did he's writing saying that yeah just hopefully we just haven't peaked too early you know you've been you still got players out of form not on fellows as well yeah yeah right out of form but it's just disappointing but hopefully he can get a goal same as Archer and you soon see a better player yeah I hope so mate I really enjoyed having you on mate it's been great to talk to you as always always a pleasure but you're on for players you think saying it's going to do it you're positive I'm 100% positive that I think love it and that's in the playoffs absolutely love it mate we'll get you back on again soon we'll be doing plenty more of these shows so we will keep them rolling mates thanks for coming on it's been a pleasure no worries mate thank you bud that was Josh Kemp friend of mine absolutely

50:26tremendous as always loads of people joining in the live thank you if you're just tuned in we've been live since about nine o'clock I want to do these a bit more regularly though not going to pencil it in and say it's going to be every Sunday at nine o'clock because it won't be because have a life and I'd create a huge amount of content but we we do plan on doing this a lot more just stay tuned to my social media channels facebook instagram you name it and we will we will always advertise it before we do it fellow does fellows doesn't need a call for sure I've got one more cooler to wrap up the show marks going to give us a cool mark if you've got the number mate give me a call the phones here it's ready for you as the last guest on the channel this evening you're in the chat I don't know if you can still know but if not mark we can give you a ring if you need to I've got your number in my in my cool book somewhere boys see yeah we will do mate we will get you on for a pre-match show that's for sure creating loads of great content if you're done at some areas mate let me know as well what concerns me is if we don't make the

51:30playoffs this season I can see quite a few players leaving you I agree I totally agree I think it's really important that we we try and get back up if we can yeah mark is joining us now this is our our next guest on the channel this evening it's going to be Mark I'm just going to put him through to my switchboard very shortly thank you for calling through Mark I'm going to put you through two seconds Annika is an apps yeah she does absolutely not we're not actually married but yeah she does she needs my time as well she supports me massively right let's get our next call on the show I'll find a call with evening it's Mark who's in the chat and Mark great to have you on mate yeah I'm I'll tell you how you doing yeah mate you watched from the comfort of your home yeah I did yeah unfortunately family family commitments preclude me from going away matches but hopefully next year maybe yeah yeah what were your thoughts on it mate what were your thoughts on it but well I was confident before the game because I knew after the best wrong game that we get

52:34more room to play yeah and it and it proved so I was really wasn't concerned but I was quite started by the by start of 11 yeah and I wonder how we're going to do this you know but obviously Tondo's are is got more coaching badges than I have it worked a tree you know four one four one or four three three and he totally he totally out out coached super frank I was going to say fat Frank or don't you rude about him but yeah the real reason what to talk about is the something that a lot of Saints fans have been talking about commentators or pundits you know involve the Saints about the spine of the team now even when we got promoted from the championship under um which is like you know Russell Martin yeah you can forget um I'm still thought we were a bit flaky we had that long run but even then you know we should have won matches

53:38that we you know with that we lost and even you know we I wasn't so confident obviously you know you know just forget last year however but now we get in the pressure when I was watching the match get free a sat there and I wasn't I wasn't you know I wasn't fazed by the commentary play you know and I watched it I was getting more confident and confident you know new guys in the stand in stayed and watch it you must have felt the same thing yeah I was brewing the game really well I thought as the game we we just grew and we grew and we we got better and better and we look yeah good solid we look really competent we look to proper strong you know competent championship side like the size that we played our own season when we got bashed about and and we look really good and that's because we've got a a spine now we've got parrots yeah we've got the combination of the two central defenders we've got we've got who are right right they were made they were so good the two center backs yesterday were amazing the two center two Joe Tesson and he brought a really

54:44good point you know talking to on his podcast on the way home with Adam he said to be a hold and midfield player you have to be one of the best players and that means you have to tell to midfielders in front of you what to do now for a young man to do for him to be given that responsibility just tell you about Bragg as a player yeah so and that and that spine we've got now and with Lauren up front or maybe Stuart we've got a decent spine now so now we've got people on the wings you know like Leo um fellows you know uh as I can wander around in that number 10 area to do what he needs to do and that's why I'm convinced that we we are really good side and I and I hopefully think we'll get into the into the playoffs yeah I technically go with Cameron Bragg what Joe Tesson said I did listen to go now with Adam and Joe and he made some good points in it the fact he would keep talking about how he would prepare to take the ball and the pressure yeah just dictate it it was brave it was really brave and what that did it released um

55:51downs to get further up the pitch yeah and I've always been I've I've always thought that down on his day is more more than just uh you know someone in the midfield just did not people about I I'm convinced he's not not as good as someone like Gerard but he's someone who could get out and contribute to the goals you know he's got he's got that physicality he's got that strength and I and I've always said that he could he should be doing a lot more and and maybe the way he's been coached to play just in front of the in the back five we had on the back three he couldn't do that now he's in the new formation he's been released he can he can move up the pitch which you want yeah it is exactly what we want and he goes and gets a goal off the back of it as well do you think he's playing his he's playing for me the performances I've seen of him are like they're right up there with what he was producing last time round in the championship Flynn yeah I'd almost say yesterday's performance is I would go far oh he's one of the best I've seen in play ever I mean he was top class he was top class Martin you know compared to when I watched um

56:55down z when he get the stock this season he was just he was a shadow of playing what the hell's going on and and now from the interviews he's had and stuff is put online about you know the and what your dad said earlier on about you know you can't go through a whole season last year it had to had you know it destroyed the club and it could have been what we could have gone down to the first division yeah you know it was that bad you know and if we didn't have hot tonda coming in you know we could have gone down you know it was that literally we're on we're on the cusp of if we hadn't gone on that run when we played Charlton beaten five nil it could have gone the other way yeah easily you know it was a pivotal pivotal point and I think that this match against Norwich is going to be another pivotal point in the in the champ in the in the lead because you know we've got we've got Norwich coming up them and people say it's about it it's not quite about what we were about Norwich but however the Norwich players last time we were a

57:59different side they're coming up a they I hope you know they might not realize who they're playing against they're playing against the team far different from the one they played here on the season yeah so and they've played teams at the bottom the last four four matches I believe yeah they've not made a really tough side in a in a little while and how they and then we've got we've got oxen coming up you know there's no reason we've got to be we have to be confident hopefully on hopefully on Wednesday evening we have a four house yeah it would make a big difference I'm I'm just looking at the team mark that started in that game against Norwich at Karrow Road back early on in the season it was back on the 13th of December so if you talk about the team being different right so everyone tuning in you'll love this so interesting looking at the 11 how much better we are now Gavin Bazoon wing goal Harbour Bellis played on the right side of center back Jack Stevens and Nathan Wood with the three center backs Ryan Manning played on the left side

59:01Ryan Fraser played as a right wing back and Yander and Downs played in midfield Azaz played on the sides Yander played the other and Adam Armstrong played up top I don't care what anyone says our team now is so much better in a fall and actually what we've got our disposal is so much better and we're organized with fault I use this word you know ex-teacher you can farm more competent you know the guys know what they're doing you know they they're they're bought into what's on the steering that they know the patterns of play and so when things do go a bit wrong you know a few months a few months ago when commentary scored that the penalty there was about six minutes left five minutes left we could have collapsed yeah and we would have done but we didn't you know I look watching at home you would get nervous but I thought no we're gonna we're gonna have this you know and we did so I I'm very optimistic I'm very optimistic I love it there's loads of positivity which is really nice yeah and why not

1:00:02you're the tip the team deserve for us for us to give them their optimism yeah and I you know there's no reason why I know Norwich you know some people said it could be a banana skin but I thought the QPL match would be a banana skin yeah and we absolutely smashed them you know and obviously I'm not saying we never know you know yeah um but we've got every we've got every right to feel optimistic the teams playing well we hope the only sort of down you know Leo not been there but even we proved against Coventry that we could even play without you know I'll best you know our our talisman as it were yeah and yeah I'm very hopeful I can't wait can't wait for for Wednesday evening yeah great game I'm really really looking and this is a really good point after the whole game that was the turning point for us whatever he said in the dressing room that night because he kept him in I loved to probe him the question and talk to him about that night and I think we could talk about the Leicester match where we you know we come back from to 4-3 you know

1:01:07we there are all certain three three four things that happen in season that turns turns things and you know it's that's what football is and that's why we love it yeah we owe them one for the handball and the winning one they scored last time and they do because they weren't yeah they weren't great before we go we took you know say hello to Charlie Charlie what he's he should be called controversial Charlie now because controversial we all have controversial Chris but earlier on Charlie could believe it he put in the live chat that he thought Manning was a better free kicker than James War Proud James War Proud was going to pop that on the screen yeah quite controversial than that yeah so what Sky Sports did a thing today they were talking about set play weren't they they put James but I don't know what the the graphic was I saw it on X and they put some of James War Proud's stats on the screen and the cheeky kids they had him down his obviously all the three kicks he scored well while while he was at Saints and they had to west down badge next to
