• 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

Well one way or another he is here until at least January, it is in everyone's best interests if he knuckles down and focuses on his Swans performances.

You're right. Yet it isn't quite as simple as that. He's the same knuckled down Obafemi as the knuckled down version who stole the #9 jersey away from Piroe on his arrival.

Obafemi never truly understood why he was then shunned by Martin. The only explanation he was given was: 'you need to run around more'. For a bloke who runs around more than any player who runs around a lot, that was bonkers man-management by Martin.

He's a highly focused young professional, in top shape who just wants to get out there and show us all what he can do when a manager believes in him. Carrot, not stick works best with Oba as we have all seen.
 
He can stick his fingers in any orifice he wants, bottom line is, he has to earn respect from the rank and file after his enormous strop, start working, start scoring, and perhaps he'll get his move away in January?
Win win for both parties...

I highly doubt "run around more" was the instruction of Martin & co.

I think people are quick to criticise Martin for Piroe and Obafemi but I disagree I actually think he’s handled them well, he’s the manager if players ain’t respecting him behind the scenes then they should be left out, Piroe went on to have hell of a season under Martin and has started finding his form again, that ain’t someone who doesn’t like the manager, Obafemi has had issues at Southampton they couldn’t wait to get rid of him and their manager often spoke out on his attitude and desire.
