• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

Our intention to try and score has increased markedly.
I said it elsewhere but the hardest thing to do when a side's confidence is down and the goals dry up is convincing your players that it's alright to have a pop rather than just passing the buck on to someone else. Matos seems to be doing alright in that respect
 
It also always easier to have more freedom going forward and take more pot shots when you aren't leaking lots of soft goals at the back, which Matos has managed to stop for the most part.
 
I remain very wary that we might still be in new manager bounce territory, but, one thing in all his games so far is the level of aggression and intensity without the ball has gone through the roof. Put simply, we work so much harder to get it back when we lose it, and we are doing it higher up the pitch as well. I probably like that more than anything else he's done so far.

If we could just add some quality in the final third...
Someone has learnt their lesson.
