• 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

    Mykolo Kuharevych?

    We seem happy to help "way too raw" players belonging to other clubs develop, so why not one we spent a fortune on? What do you imagine happens with players stuck in limbo without football at 22 years old? If he needs toughening up in the EFL then fortunately that's exactly where we are.

    The Summer 13

    If you look in a little more detail he had long barren spells last season as well, with most of his goals came in short purple patches playing out of position. Also penalties, which he doesn't take for us. The data never backed him to be a success here, so the outlay for a player his age with...

    The Summer 13

    Who on earth would be likely to give us our money back for Yates? We'll count ourselves extremely lucky if someone offers half and we're stuck paying half his wage for the next few years. Maybe some rich club in L1 might get desperate? Tymon "a class apart" is so depressing. He makes a couple...

    Mykolo Kuharevych?

    Some players are just excellent in training, and new managers often end up liking those players even when they do nothing on matchdays. Fulton's always had that reputation. I suspect Yates is similar.

    Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Leeds United | The EFL Championship

    Fulton showed exactly why he shouldn't be playing the anchorman role. You have to go with runners not just point at them and hope someone else picks them up. Need Grimes back in his best position and Fulton out of the team. Manager making some very naïve mistakes, as we knew to expect I suppose...

    Mykolo Kuharevych?

    Silverstein stopped making any noise when he folded his shares into Levien's PLC. He's no longer an independent operator, but he's still a director. Either been told to be quiet or just learned it's best not to engage with moronic teenagers on Twitter.

    Mykolo Kuharevych?

    Watson wasn't in recruitment at Luton. He had a business admin role.

    Josh Key

    We rushed him back last time, and forced him to play 90 minutes when he wasn't ready for it. Our injury record this season is atrocious.

    The Swans will not be relegated but the worry shows how quick we've regressed

    Every club in the Championship operates with a steep deficit that needs to be made up with player sales or ownership gifts/loans. The typical income is £15-20m a year, and the typical wage bill is £25-30m just to be "competitive". If you're wondering where the money has gone you don't have to be...

    Players faking injury.

    Yes, footballers can be pretty thick. You're expected not to let the team down, maybe it's taken a while to get your chance to impress, and sometimes that means missing months because you played on with a problem that might have lasted a few days. Kukharevych last season, for example. Brandon...

    Players faking injury.

    Time will tell how many more injuries we see due to players "soldiering on" when hurt. Player safety should be the most important thing, but teams will play to win (see how casual everyone is about head injuries despite "regulations")

    Mykolo Kuharevych?

    He spent most of the season injured. His manager criticised him for trying to play through pain and getting hurt worse for it (a back problem iirc). He and Tjoe-A-On both arrived with worrying injury records and have picked up a few knocks since.

    We're down

    Loads of people were criticising our centre halves last season, don't be silly.

    Grimes and set pieces

    They were all terrible. The reason Grimes has always ended up back on corners is that whoever we try instead of him does worse. Hopefully Williams is working hard on his short corner routines. Cabango had success one season under Cooper but at the moment with Darling out we've got no goal...

    Jerry Yates

    Can't blame "lack of service" today. Wonder what excuse will come next.

    Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Plymouth Argyle | The EFL Championship

    I thought we were okay. Not good but signs of progress and improvement. Done on one set piece, Yates did Yates things, Paterson's radar was off. Ronald looks a Championship player which is a relief. Some players starting to get the message that forward is the first option, not sure it will take...

    Joel Piroe Leeds

    He's out of the starting lineup only because Bamford is fit, and that usually doesn't last long. Rutter cost them north of £30m and looks like he could be worth it in the future. 10 goals this season, he's hardly failing.

    Pederson

    "Looks like he gives a f" when he's not hiding from the ball and giving Humphreys nightmares.

    Pederson

    Did well in Scotland between the injuries, which is more than our new signings have accomplished yet.

    Transfer window

    Another left back gone this window: Zane Myers has left the club 6 months early.
