• 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

How much longer?

Honestly there were many positives to take from last night right up until RM decided to give his favourites a run out after 70 mins which sucked out all the pace and energy we had and completely gave the momentum to Sheffield United to attack almost at will until the end of the game.

Why sign attacking players with pace and creativity if he doesnt intend to use them?

While some may say that Naughton was culpable (and there is some argument for that) ultimately the blame for me lays with RM and his substitutions.

He’s getting sacked one way of another.

How long will it take. No improvement, no signs of improvement, players of less and less quality signed at every opportunity - there really is absolutely nothing to look forward to at the moment and we have to be realistic and pragmatic.

How long before someone pulls the trigger? Good knows who we’re gonna end up with next time.


"players of less and less quality signed at every opportunity"

Those decisions are being made from across the pond, I doubt Martin got any control of that, what he has got some control of or total control of is those players that have been put out to grass without them being given a fair opportunity, seems like he doesn't want to coach those player's and the squad is crying out for pace and those ironically have that pace. :o
 
He's all but gone already isn't he.
This recent overhaul in system, personnel and drive has been thrust upon him from above and below.

He's not just lost his plot, his dressing room and most sensible fans. More importantly he's lost all credibility. Brand Martin is on the scrapheap where it always belonged.

And it's now in the relegation zone too!
 
Win on Saturday and it's 7 points from 4 games - play off form.

Also, if we do win, if we'd not conceded two stupid last minute goals or taken some golden chances (I know, Auntie and all that balls) then it would be 7 from three and 10 from 4.

The bullshitter would have a right to feel very aggrieved if he was sacked after that.

If he feels like that Mony, them he's welcome to sit in my seat and watch the constant capitulation.
 
Based on ten minutes of highlights I hope Ollie plays as well again and gets 90 minutes under his belt. I would also like to see Congreve back and Oko given more of a run.

We should play Wood and Cabango as centre halves and Benda behind them. This is the most certain way to avoid fannying around at the back in the relegation zone.

We need points, I can see us getting them with a tweak here and there and less of the rhetoric. Rumbling on after Sheffield and Kyle's undoing by a striker we know well is not acceptable, he got beat, it happens.

Knuckle down and bounce back. Make a few changes and learn from them.

I know, but for all that we're in a decent run of form if we win on Saturday. The table is irrelevant at the moment. Coule of wins and you're top ten. Current form is the horse to back.

I do think someone has forced the current form on him, mind you. If these suicide injury time disasters continue, then our form won't be good for long, but as I said, sacking him now would be bizarre unless Hull turn us over, because I think they will be at the arse end, come May.

So if we beat Hull you wouldn't sack him but if Hull beat us you'd sack him, now that is bizarre.

I'd say 'unless Hull turn us over' means Hull beat us by a big score rather than edging it by 1 goal or similar, but Monny can speak for himself.

For what it's worth, I agree with him. Martin and the club will point to a win and a very narrow loss to the league leaders since 'the process' was apparently abandoned.

Given the financial implications, I don't think he gets the sack unless we're in the relegation places when the World Cup break starts, or if we get absolutely humbled in a few games (meaning four or five goal defeats) which would probably tell them he's lost the dressing room at that point.

Well that cuts it fine then for someone else to come in and keep us up . for me the manager has already proven that he has no idea how to play good football and win.
