City have struggled in recent weeks through injuries and suspensions. With behind the scenes issues going on as well it's no wonder the form has dipped.
Jones was grateful to the University in Treforest and to Vale of Glamorgan for thie help but the club needs a proper training facility with access to a decent pitch to train on.
As you'll read below Dave Jones is happy we are away this weekend as we can train at Barnsley using their facilities ahead of the match at Hull. It's a situation that needs to be sorted.
'I feel that we are like Ragged A**e Rovers with the way we're looking for somewhere to train over the last few weeks,' Jones told the Echo.
'When I came into work on Monday morning I was at my lowest ebb since I've been at the club, I just knew that training would be off.
'We then had to ring the Vale to use their facilities which we could, but only after the Llanelli Scarlets had finished with them later that day.
'A club of this size should not have a problem of a place to train.'
'We're moving around like gypsies and it's doing my head in, we are all over the shop.
'Just think about it, we're third in the Coca-Cola Championship and we do not have a grass pitch to play on.
'We have people at this club with video cameras out searching for places to train.
'We have even been getting them on Google Earth on the internet to look for a place in the surrounding area.
'At times I'm working with one hand behind my back - it's not just a pitch we are looking for, but a pitch of quality, a surface that you would expect a team in the Championship to train on.
'This is why I will not knock any of my players when I know what is going on behind the scenes.
'They have had a fantastic attitude to all this and there are no excuses from this quarter.
'Furthermore, I can't praise the University of Glamorgan or the Vale of Glamorgan Hotel enough for allowing us use of their facilities.
'But the fact remains we can't get on grass pitches, besides over the Christmas and New Year period they close down anyway.
'Is this the legacy of this football club?
'Well, if it is it is not acceptable - it is simply short-sighted.
'About 99.9 per cent of what goes on out on the pitch on a Saturday afternoon is done during the week and yet I can't get to my players,' he added.
'In some ways I'm happy we are playing away this weekend because there are better facilities at Barnsley tomorrow before we face Hull on Saturday.
'We have been to the training grounds such as Crewe and Rotherham on our travels.
'So are we saying they are bigger than this club?
'On the playing side we are competing in the same bracket as Birmingham City, West Brom, Derby County, Wolves and Southampton.
'We have started the season well and trained on decent pitches but the same pattern has developed again because once you stop training on quality surfaces you lose a bit on a Saturday.
'This is the same kind of form we hit this time last year and while I'm the last one to make excuses and won't, this is a fact.
'It's got to the stage that when I come into the club and see Peter he turns away, because he knows I'm going to have a moan at him and I'm on the warpath.
'If my garden was right I'd train down there.
'Mind you, my missus wouldn't be too pleased with all the mud and mess in our bathrooms.
'But we try and do everything right here, the players do not need anything, the kit man piles all the kit and boots into the van to go to different training grounds and he's only 24 going on 64.
'The club chef is in the same situation taking food and drink to these venues.
'Our players don't want for anything.
'Using Astroturf you don't get the same bounce, the same pass, the same run or the same twists and turns.
'On top of that there is no give in the surface to aid players' joints - professional players simply don't like it.
'A club I know train all the time on Astroturf and they now have seven players with hamstring injuries.
'We need help for a decent grass playing surface for the next month or two - is there one out there?'
