• 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

Swansea City struggled but did enough to take all three points from bottom of the league Peterborough United last night in a ding ding battle that further highlighted the Swans deficiencies at the back. Michael Obafemi scored twice and Joel Piroe netted the winner in stoppage time after Peterborough...

Agree for the most part, however Downes only signed in the summer?

Cabango feels like a calamity waiting to happen in every game at the moment. When he is part of a defence that is focused on shape then he is solid, but given individual responsibility his decision making and/or ability to execute those decisions are so often lacking. It doesn't feel like its been a Swans game without a hospital pass from Ben at some point or another.

Completely agree about the midfield three, while Grimes can look dangerous when we are moving at tempo and he breaks past the midfield it happens so rarely unless we are chasing the game or clearly on top as he otherwise constantly turns back to recycle or slows down the ball unnecessarily. Smith's constant inclusion as an attacking midfielder never ceases to baffle me.
 
One comment I'd like to add.

5 more yellow cards last night. We are giving away needless lazy fouls in safe parts of the pitch, a slight block a pull back etc but not needed. None can classed as dangerous but can influence a reds decision later in the game. It seems to be getting more and more into our game.

Down to our slow tempo?
