• 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'm no Grimes lover but if we haven't got a decent replacement lined up we're in even more trouble than I thought.
Sell him in the summer by all means but not now.
So he does nothing for the team now. He's handed in a transfer request. We refuse to let him go. How much fucking effort is he going to put in ? He won't give a shit. A shit less than he does now. Fuck him off.
 
I'm of the opinion we won't get a decent replacement in, especially with Coleman and the chuckle brothers running things.. but it'll be a fresh, new start to see how we function without him hogging the ball like someone in school, players have to take their own intiative and responsibility now and they might improve as players
We won't get anyone in as they have never intended to (imo).
But, as bad as he's been, I can't see Fulton being much worse. I mean, on a positive, Fulton will actually tackle.And can score. Other than that they do the same anyway.

If you think that Fulton is in the same stratosphere as Grimes then you need your head checked.

I think that wholly depends on which version of Grimes you’re comparing.

If it’s the current crab sat deeper than our CBs for 80% of matches then I’m happy to take the chance.

Feel like I should put a disclaimer here where I am completely aware of what he’s capable of, he just never bloody shows it to the frequency required.

Ex-fucking-actly.
Bang on.

In doing what?

I don’t think he’s anywhere near as good technically, but that is benefitting us not one jot. Grimes is wholly ineffective, often detrimental.
 
HOW ARE WE GOING TO REPLACE THIS LEVEL OF CONTRIBUTION?? WE'RE DOOOOOOMED!

Statty vs Norwich:

111 touches
0 Goals
0 Assists
0 Shots
0 Shots off target
0 Chances created
0 fouls
0 times fouled
2 tackles
0 clearances
0 aerial duals won
0 Interceptions
94% passing accuracy
On the plus side, he doubled his normal number of tackles.
 
I'm not bothered he's going, I'm bothered that we won't replace him, with anyone at all. If they bring in 2 CM before the window shuts ones that have played regularly this season. I'd be happy.
