Dave Jones dismisses Peter Encklman's thoughts on Ninian Park pitch

CARDIFF CITY boss Dave Jones has reacted a video interview with Wales Online last week by Peter Enckleman in which he was mildly critical of the Ninian Park playing surface.

Encks mentioned that the pitch has not been the best of late and there his standing foot occasionally gives way when kicking on it. When an excuse or not, both Tom Heaton, himself and other keepers have been kicking poorly in recent times but the surface looks superb from the stands and far better than most around.

Of slightly more concern to me was Enckleman talking about rumours linking Joe Ledley with Everton as if it was some sort of inevitable deal.

Despite the video having less than 160 viewings, Dave Jones has reacted in todays South Wales Echo commenting that "The pitch is magnificent and Peter is the first player I've known to say anything other than speak highly of it. I'm not sure he was thinking clearly in that interview".

You can see the interview again below.
