• 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

This deserves a bump or two.

If I was a new owner I’d be looking for a statement delta.

Williams is limited, he’s clearly looking to embellish his CV at all costs. Sadly, a familiar story with a familiar playbook, on and off the pitch.

He got sacked for good reason, no doubt.

We deserve far better right now.

Williams Out - who In ?
Abit harsh don’t you think? I see improvements with Williams and unless we don’t pick up results and show any more progress then I disagree with you.

You want to sack a manager when the team is playing better week on week - we’ve gone a season without us losing by more than a goal.

In recent weeks we’ve more than matched everyone we’ve played including a number of the top 6 teams.

Keep on building and strengthening this team in January and we’ll be an outside bet for the play offs.

The Sky commentators were purring about our performance and how good we looked.

Today that was 2 of the better teams in the league playing each other

Can't fault today, some dodgy decisions cost us what would have been a valuable point if not a victory.

Not to mention having two and a half years remaining on his contract. We're not sacking another manager and paying out his contract unless we're in danger of relegation.
 
Haha here we go here we go.

Not saying we’re promotion bound but things are looking more promising.

Following the swans for a long time I’d like to think I’d be more right than wrong on these calls. I’m comfortable we’re moving forward again now as I have been even when results were not coming.
 
He still makes extraordinary decisions, on selections, tactics annd substitutions, and more often than is comfortable, not in a good way.

We are getting better than we were. In any case it doesn’t matter. He’s got this season and probably next, unless the new owners’ expectations are beyond him.
 
So far Williams has been a "smart" Russell Martin. There's obviously big chunks of the same D.N.A. in the way they go about managing their sides, but LW has proven to be considerably smarter than Russy so far.

Is he getting the best out of the players at his disposal? The continued use of certain individuals out of position and the frankly bizarre refusal to let Franco finish games suggests not. Is he a helluva lot more pragmatic and smarter in general? I think the answer is yes.

We're doing fine. Good enough to keep on down the same road, with some improvements.
 
There is most certainly a case against, of that we can be most certain.

We are clearly under achieving this term.
We are always, consistently weaker than the (hefty) sum of our parts.
Our new owners have continued to provide the platform to kick on, only for under achieving managers (Martin, now Williams) to under achieve.
Tonight was yet another reminder to our new owners that we have deserved far better, far more consistent performances and results to date.

Williams has all the latent weaknesses that his mentor Martin still possesses in spades. A close watching brief is most certainly a must.
 
We're four points off the playoffs. We could be comfortably in them if we hadn't screwed up so badly during October.

Hopefully LW has learned his lessons from then.

This was a dubious post in the matchday thread, not sure it was worth posting in a second thread.

The decision to let Franco not finish a game or him not to play 2 games a week will have very little do to with Luke Williams and pretty much everything to do with the strength and conditioning team.

These players are monitored now within an inch of their lives… their statistics will decide how long they get on the grass…

I guess Williams could go against their advice - but they’re probably seeing a big drop off in fitness and performance come 60+ mins so bring him off.
