• 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

    Don’t want to be the negative one regarding the play offs but we have probably the toughest month of the season coming up, it’s not a good April at all. I’ll be impressed if we beat last seasons points tally. Still though, the hope is alive. I think we’ll be hoping to make them next season...

    I really hope we can deliver Matos some good players this summer. You can see the football that he wants to play (1st half tonight was excellent) but we aren’t always capable of dominating a game and sustaining control. He’s definitely the right man for me but has to be backed with quality...

    Galbraith

    No I don’t think you’re wrong to expect that but I think he would have more contributions if he had played more in midfield this season. He needs to be used as an 8 in my view, he can do much more than keep the play ticking over. I know our midfield tends to be quite fluid but I liked what we...

    Galbraith

    I was unsure about the first yellow Sorba Thomas got yesterday, just looked like Franco blocked his shot but having seen it on the replay, it is a yellow. He goes in high for the volley knowing Franco is there. Not sure what he was up to yesterday but could have easily been sent off before he...

    Zan Vipotnik

    It will probably be a combination of him getting a good offer elsewhere and us wanting to get max value for a player that cost us nothing in transfer fees. Plus, we all know there are areas in the squad that need improvement and selling him would allow us to do that. From what the new owners...

    Zan Vipotnik

    I think we will end up selling him because his value will peak for us in the summer. We won’t be able to sell for as much a year down the line with his contract running out sadly. That’s how it probably should go with the type of model we’re running with but that doesn’t mean I’m not gutted to...

    Zan Vipotnik

    Not so sure about that, he scores worldies because he can whack Hell out of the ball with both feet and that’s natural for him. He also scored a few worldies last season which would suggest that this season isn’t a purple patch. Looking at a recent compilation of his goals, he has scored a...

    Zan Vipotnik

    Selling Vip is probably how it should go if we’re serious about operating a buy low (in this case nothing) and sell high model. Whatever we get for him will be a profit for us. The other side of that is, if we want to become a more ambitious club then selling our better players isn’t always...

    Spurs facing a Relegation battle.

    That’s them without Van de Venn for a few games. Don’t want Spurs to come down because it’s a guaranteed promotion for them but it is a genuine possibility now and it would be fascinating to see a “big six” club go through relegation.

    6 Clubs in the Play-Offs from Next Season 2026/27

    They were top 4 for pretty much the whole season so they didn’t really squeak in, they weren’t favourites against Sheffield United though so they weren’t ‘expected’ to go up. They also spent on proven Prem and Champions League quality players last summer. How many 8th placed teams would be able...

    6 Clubs in the Play-Offs from Next Season 2026/27

    No great fan of this. It’s difficult for the automatic teams to compete already, imagine the team that squeaks in at that last play off place ends up winning them and goes up. In my view all it does is make sure that one of the promoted teams could be even weaker than usual and puts yet more...

    Melker Widell

    Think we should keep in mind the fact that he barely got a start under Sheehan. His development really started when Matos came in and he has had one or two injuries in that time I believe. Outside of his pressing he has shown glimpses of what he can do, he has the ability to turn on the ball...

    Colours Nailed and all that

    I agree with most of this. Players like Galbraith, Stamenic and Burgess have been successful. I know there is some debate around the CBs but I don’t think they are individually poor players but not quite sure they work as a partnership. Widell, despite the lack of goals and assists has shown he...

    Colours Nailed and all that

    I see your point but I am always reminded of that run we went on at the end of Martin’s second season. Performances picked up a while before the results did, sometimes you can perform well consistently and not end up on the right side of things.

    Colours Nailed and all that

    I said this a couple of times yesterday but I don’t think our away performances have been as bad as the results we’ve had. We’ve been in games, created chances and put up some good underlying numbers against good sides like Millwall, Coventry, Hull. If we had stayed on that trajectory then I...

    Congreve

    That’s 9 g/a for him with the rest of the season left to play. Who knows if he’ll be playing for us next season but surely he’ll be worth a look in preseason.

    Seen some criticism of Matos after today’s game (not on here btw). He may have got it wrong against Preston in the first half and earlier on today but it’s harsh to criticise him considering where we were when he came in. He is still a very new manager, not just to this league but in general...

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Ipswich Town 3 Swansea City 0 | Att: 27,594 | 28/02/26 | The EFL Championship | Portman Road

    Our midfield depth is good but everywhere else it’s a struggle. Idah being out really doesn’t help for Vips situation and our winger depth goes as far as just Nunes with Inoussa out. That statement about away form getting better would have been true had we sustained that general level of...

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Ipswich Town 3 Swansea City 0 | Att: 27,594 | 28/02/26 | The EFL Championship | Portman Road

    We’ve been decent/competitive and created chances away against Coventry, Stoke, Hull, Millwall (for a half) and won vs Watford. It’s only the last two performances away from home where we just haven’t shown up as a team. We did nothing against Derby and looks similar today. Last two home...

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Ipswich Town 3 Swansea City 0 | Att: 27,594 | 28/02/26 | The EFL Championship | Portman Road

    I think implementing this particular style of play midseason is a very tough ask. I remember Liverpool when they did it under Klopp had some very shaky results and performances when he came in at a not too dissimilar time to Matos this season. It took them time to get it right as it will with...
