Southampton Thrash Millwall 5-1, Schlotterbeck Shines – Next Stop Birmingham

Southampton responded in emphatic fashion at St Mary’s, putting five past early Championship leaders Millwall in an impressive 5-1 victory.

Neil Crespin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and Alfie House to break down a much-needed Saints win. After another slow start, the panel discusses what suddenly clicked, the attacking performance that followed and whether this can be the result that really gets Tonda Eckert’s side moving.

There’s also plenty to say about two very different debuts. Keven Schlotterbeck made an immediate impression at the heart of the defence, while James Ward-Prowse returned to St Mary’s and quickly reminded supporters what he can offer. How much have the pair strengthened this Southampton side?

Attention then turns to what could be a frantic Tuesday. Saints travel to Birmingham looking to carry the momentum from the Millwall win, while the transfer window closes later that evening. The panel assesses the possible departures, where the squad could still be strengthened and whether there might be one final deadline-day arrival.
But can Saints back it up at Birmingham and start climbing the Championship table?
