• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Alan Sheehan.

Some of the games under Sheehan last season definitely were boring. Think back , away games at Preston and Watford were dire, as were home games against Derby ,and when we rolled over against Burnley without laying a glove on them. To say everything has been good since he took over is well wide of the mark. He's done a good job points wise, but his style of football so far has been very hit and miss.
Agree re the Derby home game, I still think he approached that game too negatively, we would have won easier if we set up to play that day. With the Preston game it was his second game in charge in that spell and first away so I’d put that down to teething problems. I remember us being unlucky in that Watford game and we were outclassed by better players against Burnley.

We aren’t perfect under Sheehan, I don’t fully disagree but I’ve seen flashes that suggest we could be a good side under him. That unfortunately means I do still have doubts but it’s a lot easier to weather them in 7th than in 17th.

I’m always surprised that people are influenced by league position at this point.

1 more point we’d be in the play off positions, 1 less and we could be 13th or so.

It’s only after at least ten games that the table is worth looking at surely? Even then it’s a bit soon.

I usually agree with the 10+ game thing but I was just using it to illustrate that it’s easier to dispel doubts about the manager when we aren’t struggling down the bottom. I’d say the same for end of last season when we were doing well under him after he kept us up.
 
Fair play I admire your dedication to winding people up on a football forum, even if it is a little odd.

I notice you've changed your narrative. This team last season Sheehan was firmly head of the quorum.
That made me laugh 🤣🤣.. If we have to give him some credit he has dedication to his message 😂😂.. Im not sure if I should applaud or be scared 🤔🤔. Either way, in my area there is a local nut job who cycles around with a religious sign every day. Maybe it's him?

One criticism I do have is that he's stopped caring what username he logs in with these days.
 
Spotlight firmly on Sheeeeezy, our biggest limiting factor to the Next Level..

It's embarrassing how little identity, pizzazz, personality, creativity Sheeeezyball dishes up.

And yet some onliner Sheeeple loves it. Dear me. Wake up folks
 
Any update?
ALL of the above applies.

Forest were strolling it, coulda won it 6-1 towards the end until some happily bizarre turn of events.

The bizarre turn of events changes nothing about the facts that have stood this term.


EDIT -almost all posters were expecting a proper drubbing towards the end of that game, check it out - facts speak volumes
