Yates sings Robins` praises

28 December 2010 20:00
Cheltenham manager Mark Yates felt the Robins fully deserved their 4-0 victory over Bradford. A Jeff Goulding double helped the Gloucestershire club record their biggest win of the season as they moved into the play-off places. Marlon Pack and Wes Thomas were also on the scoresheet. "We did quite well but first and foremost we have to thank all the volunteers and staff who got the game on. Without them we wouldn't have got the game on," began Yates. "We worked harder than the opposition and when we work as hard as that you can see the quality we have in the squad. The players showed the confidence, the spirit and, above all, the quality that we have at the club. "My worry was that we had played ever so well without getting that goal we probably deserved. We had spoken about improving our `goals for' at home and we have done that. I am pleased with the way we played and the effort we showed. We bossed the game from start to finish and rightly won." Yates added: "Jeff (Goulding) has been fantastic for us all season. He has scored a couple and could have had a couple more. Wes (Thomas) could have had a couple as well - I have a decent front two."
