B...This act showed dramatically Warne's overestimate of Yates ability as a footballer. He was like a rabbit in headlights - frozen - and statuesque as Leeds player took the ball off him and 20-30 seconds later we'd lost.
Warne is our manager and apparently Teflon coated but that one act was symptomatic of Warne's season. His freezing out of creditable players that were not given the "Yates treatment" - and loaned out. This whole issue raises a large question mark regarding the OP.
