• 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

The only real things written or implied have been from people on forums like this or twitter. None of these claims have had any substance whatsoever.

If after what he said during his press conference this afternoon doesn't clear things up then I'm not sure what will unless he live streams himself getting a swans tattoo on hist chest.
As I said human nature will bias what people think.
 
I've not seen his press release today so will withhold judgement
 
Some will come down one side or another or somewhere inbetween, whatever is said or seen.

Much like politics 😁
Almost like the need to be offended for the sake of being offended.
 
It's good to see Franco is available. After his Portsmouth performance, I'd be more than happy if Fulton never pulled on another Swansea shirt. The problem now is, who fills in for Bango?
 
Just noticed the 12:30 kick off. This necessitates a rejigging of tomorrows schedule.
 
Anyone else suspicious of this week's activity linking LW to WBA was a deliberate effort to destabilise us before tomorrow's game? Deliberate or not, it's worked a treat. I feel a lot less confident about tomorrow than I did.

You were confident after Pompey?

I want to see a win tomorrow and some pumping. I think we’ll do it as the whole shebang has a lot to prove. If they can’t motivate themselveslves for this and Cardiff we have deeper issues than this week’s hoo ha.
 
I don't equate the Fulton team to the Franco team so relate tomorrow's proposal to Luton/QPR

T’Joe, Pederson, Naughton?
I haven’t got a clue.
Give Lissah a go

Grimes has been playing CB for weeks now.

Welcome to the Swansea.com Stadium as we take on West Bromwich Albion in our first home game of 2025.

I hope you were all able to enjoy the festivities at the turn of the year, but it goes without saying that we certainly did not start the new calendar year in the way we wanted to at Portsmouth.

We had a fantastic sold-out away end cheering us on, with some 1,900 travelling Jacks making the long journey amidst inclement weather and delays on the road. They turned up, and we did not and we got punished for that.

We had previously produced two excellent performances – in differing circumstances – to beat Queens Park Rangers and Luton Town at home over Christmas, but we did not show the same levels of focus, concentration and intensity at Fratton Park. We made too many errors and we paid the price.

We fell well short of the levels and identity we are striving for, that we are trying to build as a team and display on a consistent basis week in and week out.

That identity was very clear to see against QPR and Luton, and we want to be in a position where we are producing that every time we take to the field.

We are not there yet, but we will continue to work, and continue to try and improve because I believe the signs are there that we are capable of being a very good team in this division. I love working with this group of players and I am grateful for the work and effort they show every single day.

This is a test of our mentality, we are back on home turf and we know we will have to be better if we are to secure a positive result in this game.

The players have shown their ability to respond strongly to setbacks, and we need to do that again against a West Brom team who are in the play-off places heading into this round of fixtures.

I, and the whole group, still have plenty to prove as we head into this new year but, despite the disappointment of defeat on New Year's Day, I am excited about the future and what we are all trying to build at this football club.

The indicators are there that we are heading in the right direction, I hope those are signs that you can see and recognise too, and it is a privilege to try and deliver a team that you are proud of and excited to come and watch.



Enjoy the game,
Luke
