• 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

Not just a problem for us ( jury is still out on Rushworth for me) but many other clubs as well, don’t think I can ever remember a time when the general standard of keepers was so poor.
 
Rushworth is an excellent keeper - he’ll be a premier league goalkeeper for the next decade no doubt

He’s young and will make the odd mistake but the best we’ve had since Fabianski

Not convinced myself, been beaten from a tight angle on his near post a couple of times..time will tell I suppose.

Still unsure myself, he's made some fabulous stops and also some indifferent moments. Don't think he's doing his career any good being here with this shambolic lot in front of him.
 
Lot of similarities with Fabianksi. Excellent handling, makes important saves, frequent silly errors. Not helped by a team that habitually plays him into trouble, but that suicidal pass into midfield has to stop.
 
I think Rushworth is a very good keeper, still pretty young at 22 years old. Fully expecting him to be a PL regular within the next 3 or 4 years.
 
Rushworth has been excellent. Two recent cock ups will have hit his confidence but I am sure he will prevail.

The first time I met my wife.I knew she was a keeper.

She was wearing massive gloves.

Did she throw the gauntlet down?
 
They've all been coached to use their feet more than their hands because apparently every team must now basically have an outfield player in goal
