I didn't mind Matt Palmer but he didn't pull many trees up is the truth. He is in and out of the Bradford side in League Two. He would be another body in the building but would he improve the side? I'm not so sure. Neither am I sure it has anything to do with tea, but that's an easy (if very predictable and extremely boring) thing to wheel out for the millionth time so to be expected.

Jerry Yates is a more interesting dilemma. He did well at Carlisle and has done really well at Swindon in League Two, which suggests he might do ok in League One given the chance. He has apparently played up front and also in a wider position. His contract is up in the Summer. He tends to divide opinion does Yates. He isn't a frilly kind of player but he definitely has a good work ethic. He didn't score many goals for us but never had an extended run in the team. When he did come into the side last time we were in League One it coincided (or not) with an upturn in results. He will score goals at league one/two level given a run because he is a hard worker and decent finisher.

I don't see Palmer as a worthwhile option. With Yates, on balance I think it might be time for him to make a permanent move away but he clearly has a professional career ahead of him which is great.
