I don't think he's figured since the opening pre-season game. Anyone know anything?

I hope we see him alongside rose in midfield, I think he offers more than berrett.

He offers more than Rose if the other night is anything to go by. Is Berrett the Grimsby word for devil incarnate?

Maybe some people just think that Berrett maybe isn't up to it?

There's been people getting stick on here recently for criticising berrett, it's not as though we're judging him on a pre season. He had opportunities to impress last season and Id love someone to give me and example of him ever playing better than average.

He had loads of opportunities to impress if he was a left winger or had a left foot. He was, like Artus and McLaughlin before him, a square peg in a round hole. Considering we were playing against what was, till very recently, a Championship midfield the other night, I thought both he and Rose did pretty well and some of his passing, particularly in the first half, was pretty good.

Berrett also handled the ball twice after losing possession weakly and grabbing the ball because he thought he'd been fouled. He also kicked the ball away on another occasion after the referee had pulled him up for a foul then and deliberately tripped a player from behind to stop him breaking away. That would be four bookable offences in the first half alone in a League game!

If he does play, I don't want to see him in a defensive midfield role as he's simply not up to the job. If he plays as one of the midfielders in front of a holding midfielder (or midfielders) then fair enough as that ought to be better suited to his abilities.

You might be right, but he seems like a scapegoat to me. Unfairly in my opinion, and obviously in the opinion of Hurst and Slade.

I think the fans need to watch what he does rather than what he doesn't. He moves the ball quickly, his range of passing is good but he isn't an in your face, hard tackling ball winner. The fact that he's played 200+ games in League 1 probably says more about his ability and I suspect that very few of those appearances were as a wide midfielder.
