On the face of it he's got all the physical attributes to be a successful professional footballer but unfortunately he seems to lack the necessary desire to make it. He simply doesn't try hard enough.
I've watched him in training and in the pre-match warm ups and his application is way behind that of his colleagues.
Managers aren't stupid and won't put up with that kind of attitude.
The pro-JCH people say things like "he really made an impact when he came on for the last 20 minutes" and that kind of sums him up for me. The average football match lasts about 100 minutes these days so what's the point of a player who only offers something for 20% of it?
Perhaps if the club had only paid him 20% of his salary he might have got the message.
So now he's dropped down to League 2 and we'll see if he can make it at that level. I have my doubts.
As for the comments about Yates going out on loan, did anyone actually come in for him? I'm not aware there was a queue of clubs clamouring for his services and I suspect he will now drop further down the pecking order at NYS.
Life after Jonno begins today, will anyone really notice the difference?
