Southampton head coach calls for resilience after defeat to West Ham

Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert urged for greater robustness and resilience after the team's 4-1 loss to West Ham on August 25. The Saints initially took the lead with a goal from Leo Scienza but were unable to maintain the advantage as they conceded four goals, three of which came in the second half. Eckert acknowledged a strong start but noted the need for improvement and adaptability going forward. Southampton will look to bounce back against Millwall at St Mary's on August 28 and face Birmingham City on transfer deadline day, September 1.
