Southampton have got a lot of ground to make up in the Championship promotion race after taking just one point over the Easter period
Joe Rothwell has launched a robust defence of boss Russell Martin's style of play after Southampton lost ground to Leeds United in the scrap for automatic promotion. The Saints, who face the Whites on the final day of the season, look destined for the Championship play-offs after picking up just one point from their Easter programme.
Saints' dip in form has seen them fall 12 points behind second-placed United, albeit they do have two games in hand on their top-two rivals. Rothwell, on loan from Bournemouth until the end of the season, said: "It's not just pointless possession; there's always a reason behind a pass and ultimately you want to score a goal at the end of the day."The amount of goals we've probably scored that started with Gavin Bazunu, finishing in a goal, just proves that it works.
"You've just got to be ready so that when you do go on the pitch, things can happen. Luckily for me in the games I have come on, I have already had a couple of impact moments with a couple of goals.
