…but not Ryan Yates cos he’s bobbar.
But whenever I’ve watched Forest this season, Yates does an important job of running round, closing down, niggly fouls and diving to win free kicks. Seems to be one of those players who gets away with all of this without getting a yellow card until his 7th or 8th offence too, like Fernandinho used to.
Could we do with a player like this next season? Undoubtedly Norwood is a better footballer, but is often too easy to run past at the top level. A midfielder like Yates / Montgomery next to Doyle and Sander who can actually play might be the way forward. Thoughts?
