• 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

Cooper transformed Forest into The Most free flowing balls out attacking team which everyone enjoyed watching. And got them promoted from rock bottom.

Only the peripheral online dullards complain about his achievements with us.

The FACT is : 75% of a wider populace (c. 1750) of fans wanted Cooper to stay.
 
Cooper played effective football but do not delude yourself into thinking it was entertaining football.
The majority of the fan base were unhappy with his style of play for a reason.

Yes he did superbly when he took over Forest to get them promoted, but his side here heavily relied on the talent of a 40k a week player in Andre Ayew to create opportunities out of nothing. Yes he was often hung out to dry with little to no attacking wing talent but I wouldn't expect him to suddenly turn into a manager known for exciting free flowing football if somehow he did return.
No delusion, whatsoever.

The more insightful fan enjoyed his winning brand. (75%of the wider voting fanbase.’). And wanted him to stay.

In stark contrast to the shallow, affected, twp fan queens who adored Martin’s pie and coiffed beard.

Cooperball has consistently smashed Martinwang- 3 wins out of 3; 12-4, and counting
 
We also defend narrowly so teams know to get down either side. Especially our left.

We practically go to a narrow back four of four centre halves (three if Key is doing his falseback role) leaving MPH and Ronald one Vs two against a winger and full back.
Good post

I'll tell you who wasn't in that 75% .... Cooper.
 
Key as wingback could work but not in a flat back four the way he goes wandering off.

The purpose of Pedersen, Toe and Abbey is a bit baffling considering our LW rotates everybody else.
Didn't go to the game yesterday so can't comment in it but throwing a 2 nil lead is not good.

Going into Tjoe a On, Pedersen and Abbey. The general view is they are not up to it and the hope is all 3 will be out the door in Jan with a left back and centre half to challenge being the aim.
 
Key and Tymon definitely are poor, Cabango blows hot and cold and is always not far away from a meltdown, no side can carry such liabilities in defence and make a push for the playoffs, fact...
Key and Tymon aren't natural defenders, they like to attack far to much which leaves us baldy at the back and that's one of reasons Grimes drops back and it pulls Cabango and Darling wide.
Not seen any of the game, but the result doesn't surprise me nor does losing the game after being 2up. We're not gonna match those club's with financial muscle.

Are we trying for forward players too?
 
The new owners have a choice. Stick with Luke and the team and finish the season in mid to low table mediocrity, then try and do it all again next season. Or, bring in some experienced leaders on and off the pitch and have a real gamble at making the playoffs, thereafter it's a 25% chance of making the big time and getting a return on the investment.

More of the same from Luke = more of the same results.

By the way, I'd much prefer a good championship season than being lambs to the Slaughter in the Premiership.

Everyone thought we'd be lambs to the slaughter last time we went up.

I'd rather die trying and all that.

What about the third option, which is keep Williams and back him f****** properly in January for the first time since he's been here, and see how that goes?

I'd rather get promoted to the PL and get relegated straight away every day of the week, over languishing in and around the Championship playoffs consistently. Quite often the 'certs for relegation' who go up to the PL end up being pretty competitive after a hand-full of signings (who tend to be fairly high standard, wanting to play in the PL...).

The money that comes with being promoted shouldn't be over looked either.

Training ground and academy was built off the back of our promotion.
 
Ironically, the academy could save the new owners & Williams a lot of money in January if he was willing to give them a go.
Quite a few there would be chomping at the bit for some 1st team minutes.
Better than scouting someone for weeks only to find they won't get a work permit!
