Mark Wright scored the only goal of the game for the promotion-chasing outfit with 10 minutes on the clock.
"All you want to see is effort and commitment to the cause and I think the players showed that," said Yates.
"We gave away a poor goal - he finished it well but it wasn't good the way he got there.
"We have then given them something to hang on to and they are a good side.
"It was a bad time to concede but we kept going and I was relatively pleased with the attitude the players showed."
