• 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

Nowhere near good enough with 11 either. Pathetic actually
I would say pathetic, yes there are some improvements to be made, I reckon we'll come good sooner rather than later, all about opinions I know, keep the faith mate.👍
 
Just a mess of a game really. Tried a tweak to the formation but the players looked out of sorts in it. Then the mess of a red card, then we're up against it being man down and swapping players around again. Never really got going. More effort in the 2nd half, but again, just a mess of a night.

Saturday takes on big significance now. Will he try again with the formation change or revert? Will Vip come back in to the team? Can we get a shot on target before the 90th minute.......?
 
Another game to forget.

Positives

1) Widel had a bright cameo. Looks like a midfielder who can get on the turn and has some technical ability. Needs to be an option to at least come off the bench in every game.
2) In Vigs we trust.
3) I do not know if we should play him at right back full time because he is so good in midfield, but Galbraith is some player no matter where he plays. Clone him.

Negatives

1) We still create next to absolutely nothing.
2) Idah looks very rusty. I do not think that Vipotnik is the most mobile striker but he looks miles clear of Idah.
3) They are not terrible players but I am starting to doubt how much our midfield has improved aside from Galbraith.
4) Stamenic looks the part but he does not pass forwards and is very safe in that role. Does he play as the deepest midfielder for New Zealand?
5) Yalcouye should not get chances ahead of Widel. He is not our player and looks pretty limited, adding nothing that the others do not already bring. He can just be an energy sub or out of the squad if everyone is fit.
6) It all feels very inevitable now and it is not if but when and this forum may become a warzone.

Based on what though mate?
 
Are people seriously suggesting that if we beat Norwich we should stick with Sheehan, we’ve been awful to watch all season and we’re not improving.
Why do you think we waited so long to appoint him as the full time manager??? I’ll tell you…because there were probably huge doubts by the people who know football and understand that there’s a massive gap between a caretaker manager who gets a bounce and a full time manager who has to mould a team.

Galbraith is better right back than Key, he's also our best midfielder as well 🫣

I thought Widdel looked good as well, got be close to starting the next game based on the performance of others.
 
Frustrating times to be sure, poor performance in truth and a lot of work from Sheehan to turn things around.

Stupid from Yalcouye, but he was looking good before getting sent off.

Stamenic was poor, Key is crap, Idah not offering much as a striker and EOM non exsitent when we went down to 10 men.

Widdell looked lively and needs to play more (and from the start). VIptonik is by far our best striker at the moment.

Biggest issue for me is the lack of creativty and this I feel is down to Sheehan and needs to change soon or it will be his undoing.

They had to give it to him based on last season. He's now shown that he's not up to it - both in results and general play which is probably the worst I can remember.

They need to spend big on a manager like they did in the squad, not piss around with another process guy
 
4-4-2 anyone with Idah and Vip upfront together?
