As promising as Yeoman looked towards the end of last season, I think this probably indicates, what many have felt, that whilst he is decent, he is probably not League 2 decent. It feels like Yeoman has been knocking around for ages but never really translating into making the grade.

Three months seems quite a long loan and maybe suggests he is not part of Knill's plans. And whilst he is still young, nearing 22 is not that young these days for many players. On the other hand, Martin Gritton was 24 when his career took off, and perhaps Yeoman is a similar sort of player to him, in terms of fairly limited ability but a knack of getting goals. I certainly hope so. Let's hope that this spell at Bideford works for him because if he doesn't kick on soon, then his days as a full-time pro are probably numbered.

Please make sure that you go and get a tattoo saying "Harding is our midfield general"

It is worth noting that Bideford are a division higher than when he last went there, and are riding high at that.

Still think he is a better player than Southern Premier level, but don't be confused in thinking he's just dropping back to where he was a couple of years ago

Good luck to the lad, not that he'll need it at that level, I'm sure he'll bag another goal-a-game like he did last time.
It's an odd one really. Only ever seem to hear positive things about him yet he is never trusted to start for the first team. The worst I've heard about him was Knill saying "he's too quiet" - never seemed to hamper Michael Owen's career.

Ashley yeoman has gone back to bideford on a 3 month loan
