• 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

    Playing out from the back

    I'm agreeing with you, it's completely pointless us doing it. Vigouroux may as well just take a long goal kick in the first place because at least that removes the risk of giving away a stupid goal in our own box and it's what he ends up doing most of the time anyway

    Playing out from the back

    It's meant to draw the strikers into the box, allowing the keeper/defenders to pass the ball into midfield and bypass the first line of the opponent's press. Unfortunately, we don't seem able to do the second part so it usually results in Vigouroux just kicking it long and losing possession anyway

    It's been less than 48 hours to be fair, they may need to wait for swelling to go down before they can do scans etc

    Has he gone? Or if not when will it happen?

    Not sure he'll be available for a while, he hasn't even taken charge of his first game at Stoke yet

    Basically, nobody knows what's going on 😂

    Matt Grimes

    "Great" is a massive overstatement, he's a decent Championship level footballer. He struggles when he doesn't have time on the ball, which we haven't seen too much of recently because he's never anywhere to be found in the hustle and bustle of midfield, instead playing this bizarre quarter back...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | FT Swansea City 2 Luton Town 1 | The EFL Championship

    I'm enjoying this far more than the QPR game, very entertaining and we could/should have scored another couple. Luton's two big lumps up front are giving Cabango and Darling something to deal with and only a brain fart from Vigouroux has cost us a clean sheet so far

    Matt Grimes

    Against QPR, Grimes just swapped positions with Key when we had the ball. The full backs pushing into midfield is meant to create an overload in the middle of the pitch but we negated that by having Key go into midfield and Grimes drop back to play RB. The first half on Thursday was like...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 3 QPR 0 | The EFL Championship

    As good as we've been, I have no idea what QPR's game plan is (or was). They were happy to sit in and keep their shape, even when 2/3 down. Not even an attempt to form an attack. Feel for their fans, imagine driving all this way on Boxing Day and watching that

    Our Full Backs

    Teams have been doing that against us for the last 4 seasons, let us have the ball then capitalise on the inevitable mistakes

    Of course it made him bigger, his hand was about 6 inches above his head and the ball hit it. As the wording of the law states: "A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Burnley FC 1 Swansea City FC 0 | The EFL Championship

    I've watched it several times now, he doesn't actually do anything apart from a weird recoiling action as if he was scared to get hurt. It just makes no sense why he had his hand up above his head

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Burnley FC 1 Swansea City FC 0 | The EFL Championship

    If that had happened at the other end and the ref hadn't given a penalty, the same people would have been saying it was a disgrace, ref was a cheat etc. Law 12: It is an offence if a player: touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea 1 Watford 0 | The EFL Championship

    Really good performance last night, although it did feel quite nervous in the last 5-10 minutes when they had a few corners/long throws. Considering they scored 6 on the weekend, their finishing was dreadful last night! I thought we could/should have had a penalty in the first half for what...

    Cooper out for three months

    He isn't physical enough though. I have a running joke with my dad and daughter that "Cooper's on the floor again" because it happens almost every time he's near the ball

    Cooper out for three months

    He certainly gets overhyped a lot. He's an attacking midfielder who's 25 next month and he has 8 goals and 8 assists in his Swansea career so far (almost 90 games). He does work hard but he's far too lightweight and is easily muscled off the ball. He's definitely more of a nuisance to the...

    There's no excuse for Franco not being able to play 90 minutes though, he should be on a fitness plan to improve his stamina
