• 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

The fact that the management team have failed to address the glaringly obvious problems from the pre-season friendlies.. when we do come up against better opposition they take their chances from said problems..

1. Exhibit one, in the Charlton game Harry Darling strokes the ball into his own net from an error due to the suicidal way Martin is coaching these players.. then what do we do on Saturday against superior opposition we gift Blackburn the easiest goal they'll score this season by f*cking about with it and passing it like they're playing over 60s walking football

2. Exhibit two, in the Plymouth game, we play a system where the space in-between the CB and Wing Back can be exploited, I pointed it out all last season and in the Plymouth game where Plymouth should've scored or punished us about 3 times.. luckily we got away with it.. then what do we do on Saturday against superior opposition, Blackburn broke about four times, a ball over the top in-between our CB and Wing Back and it's curtains

So how do we combat this, get in two actual Wing Backs would obviously help enormously with this flawed system, get two CBs in with pace and sell Darling, Wood and Cabango because they're too slow to play it, which is obvious.. but we're not going to do that, so shall we go 4 at the back and drop Naughton who has started this season as if his legs have gone, I'd actually sub him and put Darling in the centre.. and give Joe Allen the captaincy and sub Grimes, which won't happen because our manager hasn't got a clue, Grimes is the only player who plays for stats, pointless passing stats, he makes so many pointless passes, sideways, back, sideways, turns, sideways, plays about 4 direct balls forward during the game and f*cks up about 2 of them.. when are managers going to realise he is a big problem.. there's a reason nobody has wanted him since he got Northampton relegated, he just hasn't got it, he has a go like, but hasn't got the skillset, the brain to get us out of this league
 
That headbanger Kreosote wrote a good detailed post about it on Keith’s site yesterday.

Tactically we're like a League One team, our signings don't look good, Wood got roasted, Sorinola hasn't impressed at all and Fisher is no better than Benda, they're looking like League One and youth level fodder from which they all came, Darling looks ok, but just that..
 
Can’t disagree. I could pick an alternative team for yesterday and half those picked have been discarded or not played by Russel Martin. He needs to I sort himself out and bring all the players into the reckoning, not just his MK Dons boys, who haven’t been very good anyway.

I'm not writing them off just yet, maybe they're like Guehi, slow starters.. but so far they're no better than what we have already
 
We desperately need two wing backs, why the f*ck are we waiting.. maybe Lati getting injured is a blessing in disguise
