He'll meet up with Adam Collin then.
It's clear that all Rotherham fans wish Yates well but to be honest I've never understood why he's lasted so long with us.
He's a good trainer and an all round good lad (or so we're told) but beyond that what?
Pace? No
Trickery? No
Tough tackler? No
Fox in box? No
Threads a great pass? No
Hard to see what he brings to our overall aims. His chances of first team football are next to nil and the reserve team structure is abysmal.
He needs match time in a competitive league, hopefully his move will give him that and he can pick on in his career.
Good luck Jerry, I hope you flourish.
Yep he's certainly not up to Championship Level. But he needs league experience to improve him and that's what he should get. His work rate and endeavour for me can never be questioned in an RUFC shirt, best of luck to Jerry, hope he returns an improved player with some good experience and goals under his belt!
He is admittedly not the best forward we have ever had but if every player who pulled on a Miller's shirt wore it with the same pride as Jerry Yates I'd have no complaints though Sitarman would argue otherwise).
PW's comments this morning said JY has been one of the top two strikers in the friendlies so far.
Reading between the lines PW rates him and he's a better judge of player than most of us so I think
he's still in his plans
Think it's a good move for all parties. If he fails at Carlisle we've lost nowt, if he succeeds he will come back a better player.
Similar situation to young Will Hoskins 10 or so years ago. Fans saying we should ditch him and then moaning that he got a 12 month contract. 12 months later after a good season the same people were moaning we'd not given him a longer contract.
That's the beauty of hindsight, with Yates's loan we have the chance of a bit of hindsight.
Or foresight even
Yeah thats a better analogy, patty.
I've always rated Jerry and still do. He is a good footballer with a good football brain but he is a little weak in the strength department.
It seems like the lad is a late developer in his physique. Once he starts to fill out a bit more he will be better for it.
