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

It feels like RM is in love with the possession passing game but doesn't himself know how to play it and how to properly utilise it. Subsequently that makes it impossible for him to coach it properly and that results in our "paint by numbers" gameplay.
While under Cooper we could consistently argue that we were boring to watch and that players looked like they were overcoached, with RM it feels like the opposite in that players are undercoached.
Triangles and wall passes and the like need to be instinctive and often involve passing into an empty space because you trust your team mate knows he needs to make the run into that position. It feels like players are simply being told to be progressive and to keep possession and then get punished by RM when they try to do the former and end up failing at the latter.

Good thread but this has been going on since day one of Martin's reign, he's probably the worst coach the past 25 years, an absolute fraud.

Martin hated one of the journalists questioning wether the players have lost interest in his playing style the other night after the Stoke game, took massive offence to it, first time though I’ve heard one of the journalists criticise him it wasn’t Ian from Wales Online not sure who it was.

I don't think it is entirely their faults, they had a ton of space to own. Cooper was the only one consistently showing for link up play. I don't think Whittaker came deep to receive a ball once all game. Sorinola was far too advanced, and Piroe wasn't consistently deep enough either. This has to be entirely on RM. Shouldn't be tough to predict a team is going to use a high press against us. Cant have everyone playing so far up field with no one playing a ball in the air.
