Quoted from Mariner_09
For me they are different types of players, and would have both been useful squad players if we didn't have 18 midfielders to choose from. Summerfield in an all action style midfielder, really good some weeks, totally woeful on others. He's got everything in the locker, he can tackle, spray short and long passes, he's got a good engine, can get a goal but he's got a clanger in there as well. Gave away a terrible goal against Crewe and Hartlepool but was absolutely excellent at Plymouth, Bolton and at home to Stevenage.

Berrett is a tidy midfield player, can play clever balls and he has got a couple of goals when he's played as well. Isn't a great tackler but I thought he did well when shunted out wide by Bignot and Hurst. Can be anonymous but ordinarily keeps the play ticking over, again could be a good squad player.

Both very much "Hurst-style" midfielders. They both do a job defensively and aren't particularly flair players or athletic.


I think describing Berrett as not being a great tackler is one of the biggest understatements I have ever heard. His performance out wide away to Doncaster was probably one the the weakest i have seen by a town player in my 37 years of supporting GTFC.

Saying that, I didn't get to many games under Newell, and Woods - thankfully!

I thought the much maligned Summerfield was far better than given credit for by many fans especially when I saw what played in the side after he left.

Summerfield is a hard working midfielder with pretty good energy. Gets about the pitch well, wins the ball but his passing can go from excellent to horrible. He likes a shot from distance and could score a screamer or put it out the ground. On the other hand Berrett is about the opposite. Tidy on the ball but weak off it. Needs time to pick a pass can get into goal scoring areas and has scored a few. Of the two, if I had to choose I would go with the hard work and team contribution of Summerfield.

Both are just shirt fillers. If we aspire to anything, neither should be near the first team.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!
