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

I wouldn't be too disappointed with this, if it wasn't for the fact we have very few options in this position. Aside from a few moments i don't think he has been all that impressive especially defensively.
Maybe time to move back to a more convetional RB and put another body in midfield from CB.
Cant imagine many clubs would be in the selling/loaning mood with covid ruling players out all the time.

Well, a new series of Call The Midwife starts tonight if that helps?
Gutting if true, I can only hope that there is a "break penalty" in the loan agreement if he is immediately loaned out to another club.
This might be what is needed to prompt RM into a rethink on our shape though. We know through Martinez, Rodgers and Laudrup that it is absolutely possible to play flowing possession football and still have a back four. One less sitting midfielder and use of conventional wingers and full backs might actually suit our current squad far better.
Ironically our best choices for right wing and left wing (Whittaker and Joseph) we have now loaned out elsewhere. To me the shape of our current squad means we have to be looking at:
------------------------- GK ---------------------------
Naughton -- Cooper -------- Cabango --- Manning
-------------------- Downes / Grimes ----------------
---------------------Ntcham / Walsh -----------------
RW -------------------- Paterson ------------------ LW
-------------------- Piroe / Obafemi -----------------
Work will be needed to get a new keeper (Wednesday apparently). We then need wingers comfortable with possession football but who can also take a man on and break defensive lines. In this shape I envision Downes and Grimes sharing the "Briton" role, Ntcham or Walsh playing the "Pratley" role and Paterson playing the "Sigurdsson" role

I'm sure we'll survive as a club.

When we beat Bournemouth in the playoff final at Wembley the boot will be on the other foot then, just you wait and see...

What do we expect with loanees?
Far better if we gave some of our boys a chance instead of being an experiment for other clubs.

He’s massively overrated. The only thing he does consistently is fall over when in the vicinity of an opposition player. He could have carved out ten chances for us this season and he’s chosen to go down every time.
F*ck him.
F*ck him.
