Yates Fires Luton to Victory Amidst Fierce Competition
27 Nov
Summary
- Jerry Yates scored the winning goal in Luton's 2-1 victory.
- The striker overcame a recent concussion setback.
- Luton's squad competition is cited as a positive motivator.
Luton Town striker Jerry Yates is confident that the "massive competition" within the squad will drive the team positively in the upcoming weeks. He described the recent 5-0 defeat to Barnsley as a "minor blip" that the team has since overcome. The Hatters secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Huddersfield on Tuesday, with Yates scoring the winning goal.
This goal was Yates's first in League One since mid-September, and the win propelled Luton to seventh place in the league standings. Yates shared that a concussion had previously disrupted his rhythm, but he remains focused on contributing to the team's success, even if it involves occupying opposition defenders. He emphasized the healthy nature of the competition across all positions within the squad.
Looking ahead, Luton Town is preparing to host sixth-placed Bolton Wanderers this Saturday. A win against Bolton would see the Hatters surpass them in the league table. The team's recent performance and Yates's return to form suggest a strong intent to climb further up the standings.
