The boss made it clear for now the focus is not on where they are in the league, writes Tom Feaheny.
"At the end of the season I will look at the table not now, we are on a run that means we can just focus on ourselves and no one else, that is how we want it to be," Yates said.
"I'm proud of what I have seen in recent weeks, in different situations and challenges we have overcome a lot, we need to take it one game at a time and just focus on ourselves.
"Really I'm not looking at the table yet but the progression is clear and I know the fans are seeing us in the bottom four on goal difference alone now."
A 0-0 draw for the side, in a match where both teams had chances could prove to be vital in a few weeks time.
"This is a good point for us, we showed the right attitude to get it and now must move onto the next match," Yates said.
"It was a game where I've left thinking it was probably the right result, our keeper has had to make a world class save but so has theirs."
"We had chances and coming to a team like ourselves on a good run, it was always going to be a tough game, end to end and credit to them, we both matched each other."
