• 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

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    Agree with that. We need to be fearless and attack.

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    I think trying to play that way is exactly what is hurting us. We dominate possession in nearly every game, lots of passes around the back. This isn’t too far removed from Luke or Russ. I’d rather Sheehan ditch this and get back to quick transitions. The Swansea way is nonsense and has been for...

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    Widell was signed under Luke in Jan, and even then it’s not 20m. It may never increase from the base amounts as the extras are based on success. If they do increase then it’s because they are good. Southampton have nearly every one of their players costing about that, alone. This league is not...

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    Our problem is this ‘Swansea Way’ stuff which is killing us. It doesn’t work anymore, football is cyclical. I think Sheehan has tried to incorporate it into his playing style. Our own mentality holds us back because we are the only club that has to adhere to a style of play that largely doesn’t...

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    Where is the talk of 20 million coming from? Inoussa 5m Stamenic reported about 2m Galbraith 1.5m Idah 5m The rest are frees and loans.

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    That fit is tactical though rather than forced from personnel. Widell and Cullen are the attacking midfield options. The manager is currently deciding to play two 8’s. Yalcouye being banned for next 3 games will probably allow Widell more game time.

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    That would be extreme revisionism. Our early season form doesn’t take away how good the window was, we have depth and quality in all areas now.

    Alan Sheehan on QPR | Press Conference

    He can only talk about what happened, sounds like he recognises the same problems we are seeing.

    Tonight's football

    It’s almost like it’s been manufactured… It’s clear there are agitators about, some with a motive. Drama is craved either way, if it can’t be immediate success then immediate failure is the next best thing.

    Bobby Wales

    Wales wasn’t bought for the first team though was he? I always assumed he was a development one behind Cullen and Vipotnik.

    To put it into context. Harwood Bellis who played today cost that alone.

    Alan Sheehan.

    I don’t think it’s realistic to ‘expect’ more than a mid table. We will have a chance to finish higher but investing in a single window in an undercooked side doesn’t automatically turn us into a playoff team. They will also know this.

    Alan Sheehan.

    We have no divine right to top 6. We were a relegation threatened team under Luke Williams and also under Duff, potentially also under Russell barring a late flurry of results. Our summer recruitment has elevated us from relegation candidates to a solid mid table team. It’s going to take...

    Widell

    He’s not a championship 8, he doesn’t have the defensive side of his game. He would most certainly have been brought in as that 10 under Luke, the Cullen role. He’s clearly an excellent player though, you don’t get called up for Sweden if you aren’t. I think it’s a matter of being patient with...

    Marko Stamenic

    Stamenic is a Rolls Royce #6, no question about it. Was clearly affected by his injury in recent games but looks like he’s back and firing

    The bigging up of Ethan Galbraith

    The exciting thing for us is we were after him in January long before the hype train. If we can spot someone like that playing right back earlier than others, then who else can we spot!

    Widell

    Widell was signed under a Williams regime where he played a 10, Cullen usually. We play two 8’s under Sheehan.

    Less entitlement and more encouragement

    I have zero doubt we will be seeing Widell this season once he gets up to speed. Players take different amounts of time.

    Less entitlement and more encouragement

    With strength and conditioning coaches would be my guess. He’s far too good to be playing U-23 football and will be shocked if he ever does. Inoussa plays a different position than Melker, you can be a bit lightweight as a winger, in the middle it’s a different ball game.

    Less entitlement and more encouragement

    Widell hasn’t been sent to the U23’s has he? I’ve not seen that anywhere. I don’t think anyone expected Wales to come here and be a starter, I didn’t anyway. He’s a project.
