• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Both decent in the air, but as ball players they’re extremely poor. Burgess especially, has been a huge disappointment.
Hopefully Matos will address this in the summer as we do have the nucleus of being a good side.
 
Burgess is the worst passer I can remember in our team. I can't remember 1 long pass he ever gets right. And always puts us in risk with his short passing. I don't see us changing our defense next season though. Even with Lissah
Just don't see it.
 
Perhaps it would help if they didn’t have the most possession in the team and just concentrated on defending.
Wood looked outstanding today.
 
Burgess just isn't the answered. He was signed purely on experience alone.

No doubt on a big wage, I wouldn't be surprised if moves are made to actively try and move him on.
A good World Cup for him will likely help 🤞

Exactly, would be a help to them if we could create sustained pressure on the opposition goal ,or even get ourselves a couple of goals in front. Nah, no chance.
 
It would help if Burgess didn’t wake up believing he is the love child of Bobby Moore and Beckenbauer.
He constantly ignores simple high % passes for impossible 50 yard glory passes which immediately cough up possession.
I have become increasingly frustrated. Problem is we have no options and he is important winning headers.
 
When Southampton played Arsenal, a stat popped up that showed the most successful passes in the championship since their new manager took charge.
Burgess was third, just behind bloody Matt Grimes.
You’d expect it to be Galbraith or Franco.

*you’d want it to be Galbraith or Franco
 
As I just said in the match day thread he hasn’t had a minute off this season. Fatigue must be playing a part on both players as Cabango has only missed one game. That’s a bad look on our recruitment side
Shows what a terrible signing Santos was. A complete waste of a wage.

Burgess and Cabango play a serious amount of 5 yard passes back and forth between themselves every game mind.
 
Burgess has become another Ryan Bennett; he'll be hard to shift on big wages.
Ryan Bennett was a much better player.

These will be our centre backs next year unless we can miraculously sell one.
