• 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

Sorry, but he doesn’t even get picked to start half the time. Says it all
I can’t find the post you’re replying to, but I agree with them. There’s something there, but we’re not playing to his strengths. If we got the ball to him through the centre I think we’d see a different player. He picks good positions at the edge of the box and has a rocket shot. He’s poor from crosses (he hides) and all our play is out wide. Stick a proper midfield and number 10 in that team and I think we’d see a different Vip.

As we play though, he’s obviously been disappointing. As most of them have this season (so it’s a Williams/coaching issue).

I agree, our sole attacking plan is to constantly put aerial crosses into the box (and our left back is the only one who can consistently do this). But we're trying pick out 2 small forwards who's strengths aren't heading the ball. We do desperately need some attacking threat down the middle to occasionally out a through ball in (remember them!?) Or God forbid have a long range shot.

And then stop doing that when our striker who is better in the air comes on..
 
Maybe I'm still at the bargaining stage of the grief process, but if we can get one more in having secured O'Brien, maybe we can stumble our way to safety this season. Will probably require sacking Williams soon and having a capable replacement though.
 
Lets forget about wingers and defenders. Let see if we can another 2 CM in tonight
 
We will get the typical yank enthusiasm speech tomorrow trying to tell us we’ve signed an incredible young player from Sweden beating off a host of clubs, we’ve got experienced O Brien after putting in a big outlay to bring him here, we have faith in the players and Luke for the rest of the season to deliver the Swansea way to all you jacks out there.
