• 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

    Table since Matos took over

    The play style is the main concern a lot of some of the less enthusiastic fans have and I do share it to an extent. We are currently playing in a similar way to when Sheehan took over - high press, lack of shorter build up play and a lot coming from out wide rather than through the middle. Is...

    Sam Parker

    Best part about this run of games for Parker is the quality of opposition. Been thrown in against very good players and bar first half against Boro (which was nowhere near his fault) he has taken attacking and defending in his stride. Also gives us some real pace and directness which we’ve...

    Ok, I'll say it.

    Agree with this, it is important that we bring players in who can start producing straight away. My mindset always tends to be “time is needed for development” but with their ages and the amounts we paid for them, it isn’t unreasonable to ask for more end product. I think in this particular...

    Ok, I'll say it.

    Personally I’ve seen enough in Widell to persevere with him. Would have liked for him to get a a few more goal contributions this year but he has found his feet now and I think we’ll see the best of him. Played against some top championship level players the other day and really stood out. I...

    I think the first half can show what we’re about under Matos. It was the strongest performance we’ve seen against a top side this season. I’ve said it a lot since he came in but I’m convinced Matos is only playing a style that suits the squad we have. He’s pragmatic in the sense that he won’t...

    Our centre backs

    I can’t believe we didn’t get a dedicated CB in to replace Casey. We kind of knew by January that Santos wasn’t favoured. I know we’ve got Ward but realistically it’ll be difficult for him to play consecutive 90 minutes, we are extremely lucky that both Burgess and Cabango have stayed fit this...

    I was surprised at how much they crossed the ball to be honest, I haven’t seen too much of them this season but I expected them to be slicing through the middle of us as we can be vulnerable there. We dealt quite well with the crosses despite conceding from two of them. I think that is true re...

    Can’t even be too gutted with that today. Thought it was one of our better performances against a top side this season. Played some good one touch stuff at times and didn’t really get dominated. A bit like the Boro game, Saints had the ball in dangerous areas but didn’t threaten Vigs too much...

    Fair point. I just hope we aren’t running up the wage bill and crossing our fingers. We do seem to be making better decisions re contract lengths and not letting them run down. Hopefully the amounts we’re offering are sensible.

    Not against Cullen playing at all, he is our second top scorer so it makes sense to have both him and VP on the pitch at the same time. What I am against, is using him as a wide player. Didn’t work against Boro at home, didn’t want to see it again after that. Hope it’s Widell out wide and...

    Don’t like the look of that wage percentage especially. It’s what killed us when we came down from the PL. I’d like to think we’ve done a lot to offset that with the owners having been in charge for a full season now. This highlights why recruitment should be no.1 priority for clubs like ours...

    Oh please dont do it Gorringe

    I’m going to say that him leaving is just a coincidence because I really don’t want this to happen 😂. We use data to make our decisions these days for recruitment of players and managers so why not do it for this? At least appoint someone who has some potential or has had a level of success...

    Lorent Tolaj

    Saw some highlights, I’d be happy if this one happened. 24 so not totally inexperienced, looked like he was able to hold the ball up decently well but was better at running in behind. Some excellent finishes under pressure too. Not a carbon copy of Vip but would really suit Matos and his...

    Oh please dont do it Gorringe

    For me it’s irrelevant that we don’t know what he would be like as DoF. The Bristol Rovers connection is enough to put me off of his appointment. I don’t think it’ll happen anyway, given that he and Gorringe don’t seem to have been there at the same time. It has to be someone with good...

    False bravado because the pressure has increased significantly on them recently. They have to win to maintain a chance of automatics. You always see it when fans are gearing up for a big game, they almost have to convince themselves that they’re good and that they’ll win. The reality is that we...

    Jimmy Jay Morgan .

    James is the most Wrexham signing I have ever seen. Welsh, has Championship experience and they can pay his wages. Would love him down here but probably a bit beyond our scope. Haven’t seen Jay Morgan play but have seen a few League One fans questioning if he’s Championship ready. One for the...

    Zan Vipotnik

    Good points on Piroe. There is also the fact that Leeds were a Championship club when they bought him and that there was no bidding war which would have restricted the price. Can’t be relied upon fully but media reports stating lots of interest in Vipotnik. The highest scoring season Gyokeres...

    West Brom Points Deduction???

    I didn’t think Lampard was the best appointment they could have made at the time. Not surprised he didn’t stay at Chelsea given that they never keep a manager for very long. Thought he would have done a bit better at Everton so when Coventry gave him the job I didn’t expect them to do half as...

    Portsmouth's win tonight

    If I was a Leicester fan I would be inconsolable at the moment. A squad that stacked with talent and one that costs that much and they’re staring down the barrel at League One. It shows how quickly things can change. Can’t see anything but an exodus happening there to be honest. Will they be...

    Adam Worthless?

    What I’m unsure about is whether or not they really want a Director of Football. They got rid of Montague and seemingly were content to have Gorringe and Worth (and whoever else) doing the job but now they want a restructure? We can only hope this is them realising the direction they want to...
