ENCKLEMAN RELEASED BY BLACKBURN

Everyone seems to be going out of their way to be kind to Peter Enckleman which is understandable but it was his error, a bad one, that was most contributory of Kanu's weekend F.A. Cup Final winner.

Have no illusions, had he done that in a league game, he would have been slaughtered and he had a poor performance in which he appeared to lose his bottle and went "punchy" by throwing fists at everything instead of catching.

Less than 48 hours after that game, he has been released by Blackburn Rovers where he hadn't played for 3 years before joining the Bluebirds on loan. This seems to pave the way for his permanent transfer to Ninian Park for a keeper who has done moderately well but really doesn't appear to be City's long-term answer and, for me, nowhere near Kasper Schmeicel who was our best keeper last season.

Wonder if Dave Jones is having second thoughts?
