Double figures chalked up but Yates was aiming for more

JERRY Yates is not satisfied with 10 goals for Derby County this season, saying: "I'm a big self-critic".
Yates took his tally into double figures as the Rams claimed a huge Championship win against West Bromwich Albion on Easter Monday.
The on-loan Swansea City striker scored the Rams' second goal in a 3-1 win at The Hawthorns, with Ebou Adams and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing also on target for John Eustace's side.
It means they are still above the relegation zone on goal difference - in 21st place with two matches left, away against Hull City and at home to Stoke City, who are also battling for points to avoid the drop to League One.
"You obviously always aim for more and, to be honest, I'm a big self-critic," said Yates after hitting his 10th goal.
"I should have more but it is what it is. As long as the lads and this team stay up, I'm not really bothered how many I get."
The three points against West Brom were the perfect response to a dispiriting defeat to relegation rivals Luton Town at Pride Park Stadium on Good Friday.
"It was a gritty performance," added Yates.
"We knew what we had to come here and do. We needed a reaction from the Luton game.
