• 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

Bit of a pen merchant lately though 🤔
Mostly because we haven't created fuck all for him :D
His goal return compared to the other top scorers who were also typically their teams penalty taker was an anomaly before our recent glut of penalty decisions though
 
If we have put anything close to ÂŁ20m as the figure in the release clause it will have been an extremely shrewd piece of work.

If you took out all the penalties, he'd still be the top scorer in the divison. He's had an outstanding season.

Indeed. I only shudder to think of what he could have achieved this season with a team that was consistently creating opportunities for him
 
Big question. Is Idah capable of filling Vips boots?
Or do we make prioritising a striker ahead of other positions that need strengthening, notably centre back?

I think if VP goes we have to have a striker to compete. Wales might need another loan.
 
Idah has done well in fits and starts but Vipotnik’s form and his own injuries have not made it easy for him this season. His G/A numbers are actually good for his minutes played.

I’ve said it before but to me he seems much more comfortable on the wing when he’s isolated 1v1 than when he’s in amongst it in the striker position. Has pace and tends to beat his man more often than he doesn’t. I’d like to see him used out wide and a new striker come in. Not sure if it’ll happen though.

I've probably said it before, but for me having Idah means that we can be more ambitious if we need to replace Vipotnik.

By which I mean we could go for a younger player from a lower division or from abroad, who may need time to develop and/or acclimate to the Championship, but can do so with less pressure to perform from day one as we have Idah here already to be first choice.

Have we given up on the outlaw josie wales?
 
I feel a bit sorry for Idah - he has had minutes recently- and the minute Vip replaces him we get a raft of penalties

Not at all, he's only 20 after all. But he can't get minutes at Huddersfield and has only scored 17 goals in his entire club career, 12 of which were in the Scottish League One. I don't think it would be fair to expect much from him next season, although hopefully he makes an impression in pre-season and proves me wrong.

Bobby Wales back in the Huddersfield squad yesterday , looks as if he's been injured .
 
We (I) only saw him briefly but Bobby Wales up front will be a good addition. Has good awareness and movement. Both Idah and Cullen are decent enough.

VP has a path to stardom. Good on the club and good luck VP. Has made the club a talking point again.
