• 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

Your original post stated a percentage, that’s a statistic. Then you came back saying it’s not a stat but a fact, hence that reply to you.

Hope this helps.
Ok I’ll rephrase for those who have difficulty inferring obvious context.

‘The problem is though that most players in the league we play in are better than him’

No % symbols or numbers, just an opinion. And not even a controversial one.
 
Harsh on Ward.. he has filled in a problem position with cameos and you always see him talking to Parker especially in the warm ups. His job is almost done and hopefully his experience will benefit the younger players in our squad.
We could use one of our 400 coaches to talk to Parker…

And I think we’ve used to him to the detriment of others.

Anyway - one more game and he’s gone.
 
I watched their 'penalty' a dozen times on the highlights. I stick by my opinion when I saw it in real time, never a penalty in a million years, the guy jumped into Vigs just as much as Vigs jumped into him, and the Norwich player wasn't anywhere near to winning the ball, Burgess had cleared it. There was no punch in the head either.

I think it was a clear penalty. No often given against keepers though. Anyway, it doesn’t much matter.

Santos contract runs until next summer
Ward contract runs out this summer
Still think we will move Santos on. Yes we couldn't get rid in January. But if 1 year is left then even more reason to get rid of. If he was going to appear for us he would of now, as Burgess has played every minute and not because he is good just due to lack of depth.
 
if we remove Vipotnik goals we could have the best defence in the league and we’ll go down unless we buy some quality.

Ward was a waste of time. Santos we’ll do well to get rid of as we tried everything in January and couldn’t.

Cullen may go although I doubt it. Cooper should have been given a chance.

I imagine we will sell Vipotnik and possibly Galbraith. We should also look at selling Burgess but we won’t be able to I suspect.
I think we need to bring in some real quality out wide and in the midfield (creativity) as well as up front to really challenge. As well as a ball playing centre back.

It won’t be easy and may take a few windows.
I actually don’t know how we managed to stay up last year and comfortably with the lack of goals in our forward line. Perhaps that’s a good thing though? We didn’t have this version of Vip last season and we still managed to score similar numbers of goals with largely the same attackers.

We do have to spend on quality though if we want to replace Vip. Don’t know if there’s an Ivan Toney like figure in League One for us to sign.
 
Slightly worried that we've lost the guy who sourced much of these players and currently have no-one in charge of recruitment...

There you go, happy days.
