• 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

    Dribbling

    There are clear signs that dribbling is make a slow but sure return to the game and is making inroads into the possession obsession. No bad thing in my book, and I'm sure many will agree. A good dribble is always exciting to watch, and boy do we need more thrills. Of course it never disappeared...

    Eom on the right?

    With the signing if Inoussa could Eom replace Ronald in the right? Eom is mainly right footed and his crossing accuracy is far better than Ronald's. He's also a better dribbler. Given his excellent defensive attributes could Ronald play as an 8? All a bit left field I know, but the summer's long...

    Joe Allen S4C documentary

    Nice look back at his career, well worth a watch. Subtitles throughout, although a fair bit of the interviews are in English. Hope he returns in some capacity, I'm sure he has a lot to offer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/s4c?rewindTo=current

    Kukharevych

    Scored again tonight. Has shown decent form in the last few games. Shooting and defensive stats are decent, passing ones less so. If nothing else perhaps his 7 goals will attract some interest.

    Ben Hughes

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvgnl34qvm5o Good experience for Ben. If they make Europe competition again perhaps a return to Caernarfon until Xmas would be a good move.

    Ranting

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvgnl34qvm5o Reminded me of Williams' rant at pitch side after about 20 minutes in the home game against Portsmouth. We were nil nil at the time and the only team creating chances. For me this was the start of the end. Letting fly in the dressing...

    FULL-TIME - SOUTHAMPTON NOT THE WORST TEAM EVER

    That headline is taken straight from BBC text, caps included. Made me smile. May I be the first to congratulate Southampton on their magnificent achievement.

    Offside law

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvgngqen0jgo Seriously dumb idea. The law as it stands is easy to understand for players and spectators alike. With this amendment how will defenders know where to stand in relation to attackers? I can see players dangling a leg at free kicks to be...

    Age of squad

    Sheehan talked recently of the need for experienced players to add balance to the squad. He may well have had O'Brien in mind. Our squad this season has had an average age of 26.3, mid table. Interesting that three of the 4 youngest squads occupy 3 of the top four positions: Sunderland (youngest...

    4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3?

    We have definitely lined up at times under Sheehan in a 4-1-4-1 with Fulton or Allen sitting in front of the back 4 with O'Brien and Franco further forward. This has worked well and has allowed us to win the ball further up the pitch. Sheehan may persist with the same formation next season, but...

    Finances

    Sorry to put a downer on things, but is it just me that's concerned about our Finances? We only escaped breaching P & S regulations this season thanks to the allowable deductions of the academy, women's team and infrastructure costs. We posted a modest profit on player trading of about £4.5...

    Kukharevych

    "Moments after United keeper Jack Walton pulls off a stunning double save to deny Myko Kuharevich and Junior Hoilett, the former picks up on the half way line, makes a cracking solo run and smashes into the bottom corner." Hopefully can score a few more before the end of the season and earn us...

    Dribbling

    If we sign Wales and Inoussa we will be adding to the dribbling capabilities of the squad - on top of the capabilities of Eom, Widdell, Tymon and Key. The latter two are 93rd and 98th percentile respectively for dribbling success. Is dribbling making a resurgence? Palace in particular have...

    Possession Vs Territory

    It's still early days, but I'm intrigued to know what the Sheehan philosophy is. The early signs are that he's happy to trade possession for territory. I don't have the figures, but it's obvious that our possession figures have dropped, from 60 per cent under Williams to close to 50 per cent...

    Too much possession...?

    If you look at the 10 games where we've had 70% possession or better we've only mustered 11 points - borderline relegation form. If you add in the five games where we've managed from 61% to 70 % possession the return is equivalent to 49 points over a season. If those stats don't make the case...
