Always said January would be make or break, and so far we've lost out most influential player and replaced him with unknowns. I think we may struggle.

He was, but until the unknowns prove to be as good or better than Yates, we have to assume that we'll be weaker without him.
I've seen countless young freebies/loans come in with little experience, and I can't remember a single one more capable or effective than Yates was. The vast majority weren't up to it.
