Think he’ll be on his way - not looked happy for ages and don’t buy his injury
He looks injured to me. I said before the start of the season we'd be better resting lolley for the 1st month. We run the risk of losing him for half the season. Wonder if he's just playing games and not training?
To he fair injured or not Joe was just having one of those games where nothing was going right for him. It happens and he didn't exactly bust a gut to recover when he lost it, stood with hands on hips looking pi$$ed off with ref instead.
Re Yates, I thought he was really good today, looked really comfortable on the ball, especially 2nd half and his passing was really crisp and often drove us forwards. Wish he had scored to cap off the sort of display which reinforces my belief he will become a Premier League player in the relatively near future-still hope it's for us. He was much more comfortable as a pair than a 3.
Got to get this off my chest: Just like with Cash, Worrall and to a lesser extent Benny, there will I think be many "experts" eating their words over the coming years. As a young midfielder learning his trade he has undoubtedly had some stinkers along the way, but some of the vitriol aimed at one of our own has been pretty disgraceful. Criticism- fine. Big difference between saying "He had a sh1t game, needs dropping" as opposed to "he is sh1t and should never wear the shirt again" or similar. Like Watson, I am sure he will need half a season of top class performances before some detractors give him any credit, but with his attitude and application he is only going to get better and better.
Yates did play well today. He is improving and looking more comfortable in possession. Still sometimes heads it when he should bring it down but today he was one of the few positives. For me Taylor has got to start either on his own or with Grabban.Grabban and Lolley are way below their best at the moment.
My only criticism (if you can call it that) of yates today was he didn't try his luck from long range. On a couple of occasions he ran with the ball to within 25 yards of goal and then played the ball off to a tightly marked player in front of him, instead of having a crack at goal. We all know he has got a decent shot on him, maybe let him unleash it occasionally.
