• 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 surprised to see Hamer or Smith leaving in the summer.
Hamer was a good keeper for Cooper but isn't suited for the way that RM wants to play.
Smith is a willing worker but isn't suited to an attacking role and has Ntcham, Downes and Grimes ahead of him in the defensive roles.

This summer will be a huge one for the recruitment team to get right to avoid going backwards after an overall very strong recruitment last summer.


Hamer never played a match for Cooper.

Ah yes true my bad, for some reason I thought he played in games where Woodman had been unavailable.
Doesn't change my overall opinion on his unsuitability for the RM style of play though.

I would love to see Benda back as understudy to Fisher, I feel that he has higher potential than Fisher and just needs to learn better when to keep the ball and when to get rid rather than trying to do something clever with it.

Because he tries to act like an actual goalkeeper rather than a poor quality outfield player doing rush goalie?

Because his distribution and composure under pressure are weak which heavily hurts the way RM wants to play from the back. Our defensive issues are well documented this season there is no denying that, but at the same time a sweeper keeper is a huge part of how RM wants us to play.

RM wants to play like Citeh passing around at the back and in their own half, what he still can't get to grips with is the fact that the players he's got at his disposal are no where near the quality Pep as got at Citeh, Keeper included, he needs to find a system that best suits the players he's got and quickly cause he's gonna continue to struggle otherwise.
