He will need to move to get game time because Forest have finally outgrown him.

He's probably going to end up at a Championship team.

That will bring a certain grim satisfaction to a number of people who will nod sagely and tell us that they always said 'he isn't good enough'.

They will never admit they were wrong when they were actually talking about top half of League 1 and not top half of the Premier League.

He's lived the dream of many Forest fans and we should celebrate that.

Instead of which, jealousy seems to eat so hard at some that they can't wait to put him down at the slightest opportunity.

I'll freely admit he has achieved far more than I ever thought he would. I also think the way some have treated him is nothing short of disgraceful.

Yep, the Red Side of the Trent podcast guys would love to see the back of Ryan Yates. Don't waste an opportunity to put him down after a misplaced pass 🤔
 
Should be a nailed on starter when playing bottom half clubs at home.

Midfield has been boring at the CG for 13 months, none of them offer any forward threat despite being nice on the ball. Same problem when Anderson and Sangare were the pairing as this current iteration. Yates is technically inferior, but can cause chaos around and inside the box.

He's good at controlling the ref too.
 
Glasner said on the post-match interview that he's still learning about the squad. Well, he needs to learn the lesson that every other manager learns and improves by. Yates needs to play. He doesn't have to start every game. It can be situational, but it's absolutely wild how little we now value one of the key team members that helped us finish seventh and looked like we were going to finish even higher when he was playing.
 
If Yatesy got called up for England, he'd some how make every squad until the end of his career and play like 50 times. Just coming on at the end of games to see out a victory, im convinced of it.

Dropping Yates around April 2024 was one of the most baffling decisions of recent times in my book, and there have been many baffling decisions. He was great the season we finished in Europe.
 
I think we need him now. We’re desperate for some in-game management on the field, someone being a bit more street-smart, dirty and cynic. Someone to be in the ref’s ear and someone to get into oppositions heads, wind them up and rattle them.

If Milenkovic is out I’ll be tempted to use him in the middle of the 3 he can then step up and make it a 433 if needed, or maybe we should stick him in midfield and go 352?
