Has now scored as many league goals for us this season as he did in League 2 for Swindon last season. Proved all of his doubters wrong and I’ve loved every second of it. Go on Jerry!
Not quite! 13 league goals for Swindon last season , 12 for us so far. On target for 20 which is a good return for any striker.Has now scored as many league goals for us this season as he did in League 2 for Swindon last season.

And some posters were wanting to swap him for Gnando earlier in the season.Has now scored as many league goals for us this season as he did in League 2 for Swindon last season. Proved all of his doubters wrong and I’ve loved every second of it. Go on Jerry!
Agreed he throws the keeper a great dummy the goal looks better on every viewing. I did see some chimp on Facebook saying he doesn't rate him. We have some strange fans.I really like him. The goal he scored on Tuesday epitomised what a clever player he is. He kept calm dummied the keeper and created an open goal for himself, he's a natural striker.
Having the calmness and confidence to take a penalty is a skill in itself. I never have any doubt when he steps up to take oneYou'll get some on here saying it's not really 12 he's scored this season because some of the goals are penalties!!
I think he said something like “he doesn’t look like a footballer” but I’m sure he said that about every other player we’ve fielded this season...Was it 62 that said he shouldn’t be here as he has no goal scoring record? Was it Eoin Doyle he suggested we get instead?
Double funny
I honestly don't think we'd be able to keep him past the next January window if he was given even a half decent amount of chances per game.My POTS.
The goal he scored on Tuesday he wouldn't have earlier in season. Much more confident and assured.
Just imagine if he got decent service.
Reminds me of Ormerod in a way, not in style nec., but in work rate and then once you add goals in regularly, they get a very good move upwards.I honestly don't think we'd be able to keep him past the next January window if he was given even a half decent amount of chances per game.
Bez has had chances and not taken them, cruel world is football.Jerry Yates has been given game time and has grown in confidence with scoring goals. But Bez Lubala who previously had a great
goalscoring record with his previous club has not been given that time, at the moment he doesn't even feature on the bench.
Totally agree, but some think it's a given that a pen = goal.Having the calmness and confidence to take a penalty is a skill in itself. I never have any doubt when he steps up to take one
And the goals he scored in League Two don’t count because we’re not in league two, we should have signed Eoin Doyle who is now matching Yates’ goal scoring record... in league twoI think he said something like “he doesn’t look like a footballer” but I’m sure he said that about every other player we’ve fielded this season...

Yates is 24 in November, so not a kid. Unfortunately he's just useless.
Yates has no goalscoring pedigree outside of one season in league2. He will not be prolific in league1 and definitely not the way this team is set up. Purely a workhorse at present.
Yates has barely scored a goal outside of league2. Unproven and a bad signing.
Yates doesn't have a striker's instincts. Few doubt his work ethic, and service hasn't been the best, but except for one decent season in league2 he's done little.
Yates couldn't poach an egg. Mind you it's not that easy lol
This is just proof that he’s absolutely clueless.I can't remember the Eoin Doyle comment, but here are a few pearls of wisdom from him. It's almost as if, if you give players a few games, they might come good...
He's on a 3+1 up to June 2023 provisionally. Someone the club have been convinced to invest in for a potential future profit. Which will be part of how the performance of the head coach is measured. See also Bez Lubala.He’s on a two year deal, no details about an option for a further year. I would be looking to tie him a bit longer and bump his wage now the salary cap is extinct and bitten the dust.
We’ve all said things that look silly in hindsight. Even board icons get it wrong from time to time...”If the Oystons do well....”I can't remember the Eoin Doyle comment, but here are a few pearls of wisdom from him. It's almost as if, if you give players a few games, they might come good...
[in response to someone saying he might end up being a poacher]
It was a three year deal with a further year’s option from memory.He’s on a two year deal, no details about an option for a further year. I would be looking to tie him a bit longer and bump his wage now the salary cap is extinct and bitten the dust.

They need to update that section.Says 2 on fish....
Jerry Yates - Forward - First Team - Blackpool FC
Jerry Yates signed for Blackpool on a two year deal from Rotherham United in the summer of 2020.www.blackpoolfc.co.uk
I feel reassured! Ta!They need to update that section.
Blackpool Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of in-demand striker Jerry Yates from Rotherham United for an undisclosed fee.
Yates, 23, joins the Seasiders on a 3 year deal with the Club having an option to extend for a further year.
Some of ours were laughing at Plymouth wanting Hardie. What doesn't work for one might for another and fans know what's best for their own teams and how they set up.I remember some Rotherham fans laughing and saying we had been robbed paying what we did for him. How wrong they were, worth every single penny.
95% of strikers in league one would've hit the ball straight at the keeper if presented with the chance on Tuesday night. Some of the goals Yates has scored this season have been outstanding and all quite different - trickery against Northamption, pace and strength away to Portsmouth, opportunism and composure against MK Dons. Very good player, and dare I say it another who has improved under Critchley. Of all the tinkering Critchley has done this season, he rarely leaves Yates out which tells you something.
Bez has had chances and not taken them, cruel world is football.
I know this isn't a Bez thread, so apologies, but I feel his ship has sailed here.I understand that it is a cruel world, but Bez has only been given 418 mins, and no continuous run of matches. In comparison, Demetri Mitchell
who has just got back into the team has played for 994 mins. Bez for me looks like a player that is lacking in confidence and Yates was the same for the first few games until he started to score on a regular basis. Critchley kept playing Yates until he scored and then his confidence returned, and he now looks a much better player. It is a shame that Bez hasn't been given more time to gain confidence, in the same way, especially with the amount of game time that KaiKai has got.
