• 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

Why are people so desperate for Benda to play? He done OK in the opening games but consistently made mistakes. If Woodman had made the same mistakes he’d have been lynched! Benda looks a promising keeper, but we are currently not in a position to be bedding in a goalkeeper that is costing us goals.

He's come through the ranks having been here since he was 18 and people like to see home-grown players make it, as developing your own players is the best bet for a team to save money on signing players and potentially make money on selling your home-grown players.

Hamer is 33 and has relatively little sell-on value even if he suddenly morphs into the reincarnation of Lev Yashin. Benda is 22 and if he makes it, either provides us with our first-choice goalkeeper for many years to come or earns us a good amount if we sell him.

So seems obvious to me why fans would be desperate for Benda to play. For me, if Martin thinks Hamer is the better keeper right now then play him and give Benda a chance in the next Carabao match on Wednesday.

Wow, Lev Yashin, that's going back a fair bit, didn't realise you were that old :lol: :D

:D He's well before my time to be fair, just heard that phrase before. If I used an example from my childhood, the reincarnation of Peter Shilton or Walter Zenga doesn't have quite the same ring to it!

Unfortunately, I remember him! :oops: :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll: :roll:
 
Benda takes risks which sometimes don't come off but he dominates the box. I feel with experience those mistakes will be rectified.
 
I think its fair to say that bender will be back between the sticks after today. Hamer is complete gash
