• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Good grief.... I see Derby and Hibs benefitting from our limited transfer budget ...🎅
 
He wasn’t played regularly by either Duff, Sheehan or Williams which tells you everything you need to know, on the few occasions i saw him he didn’t seem capable of playing either in this system or at the Championship level.

If he is not going to play then get him off the wages to get someone else in. Last summer part from those highlighted above seems to have cost us money we can’t afford to lose.

Yep. One of them might have been wrong; two, there's still a chance they might have both been wrong; but all three reaching the same verdict, no chance they're all wrong. He's a dud.

Great if we can offload him.
 
He could well be a dud, but I'd go easy on relying on the opinions of previous coaches for the simple reason that none of them really based that verdict on a rather salient data point:

"Playing football for Swansea City."

As has been pointed out by others, letting 'training kings' and teacher's pets dictate the team leads to Jay Fulton being welded into the midfield for months on end. Myk may be shit, but we never got to find out one way or another in any sense that matters.

His attitude being awful is the only thing that makes sense to me. But I hope if that's true it was genuinely shocking and not just a case of him not being a teachers pet. A lot of great players would not have made this Swansea team if we only played the boy scouts.

He's played for the reserves, if there was anything in him, the lad would have played in the first team.

It's ok having a bad attitude if you have the skillset for people to turn a blind eye to the so called attitude.

He's not played because he's crap.
 
He's Ukrainian isn't he? I wonder how affected he is by the situation there and if that had affected him on the pitch?
 
I have no doubt he is a better player than i will ever be but I regularly watch the U21 side play and he has played on at least one occasion where he, Wood and Pederson played possibly against QPR at home, he looked no better than the regular U21 players and nowhere near the first team.

Just my opinion and he might prove me wrong, maybe he needs to play a different system but he looked well off the skill level required for the Championship.

Sheehan was at that game and watched him closely, he hasn’t played 1st team since.

That’s a very good point - and which should be tempered by the fact that Duff might have felt a twinge of pressure to play the big buy Jerry Yates who didn’t fit this style of play either. With Yates the feeling might have been “he has to come good some time” but never really did.
If Mykola was upset about not getting a look in when the main man was struggling then that’s understandable and it takes an excellent man manager to try to keep an unhappy player inside.
I think he definitely deserved a run of games, especially when out wingers were upgraded. Guess we’ll never know now.
