Rumour goes his head was turned by a substantial bid for him at Christmas by Bradford, so maybe his dip in form coincided with that. Whatever the case he did well whilst he was here and his clinical finishing and performances made us look a better outfit than we were.
Those attributing his success and goals to Yates maybe forget his previous season loan? 17 games 6 goals nearly 1/3 not a bad return in a struggling side from midfield. Though I think Yates is a good player I don’t think any of the goals he scored were because of him. A confidence player who knows where the net is. Think he thrived with us because Nolan had so much faith in him, after Christmas not so sure. A good player all the same who’ll definitely make a living playing football.
