Considering he's played in a few different positions and had a ban Sam Jones is off to a flyer again with the goals. Our next million pound player?

Macca seems to have put his issues from last season to bed and returned to good form which can only be good news.

As for the comparison to Clements, I'd say he looks a better player that Clements showed himself to be last season.


Really? Don't see it myself.

For me, Clements is much stronger in the air, much stronger in the tackle, much better in front of goal and I wouldn't say there is much between them with the ball at their feet. Berrett has played a lot better this season than last, that's for sure, but I'd have a fit Clements in ahead of him every day of the week.

I'd be really shocked at that considering he is Scottish

Different players for different positions. Slade has made it pretty clear that he prefers Berrett for the time being.

Controversial I know, but is it fair to say Berrett has been amongst the most consistent for us so far? ..


I'm pretty consistent when i play..... usually consistently cr@p but the manager knows what he is going to get week in week out all the same.

Berrett wins a lot of balls in the air for someone who isn't especially tall. Clements is the sort of player who needs lots of protection. The game tends to pass him by when we're losing but he does have a touch of class when on the ball and could pinch a goal.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

For me, not one of our centre midfielders are good enough if we want to get out of this league. Full stop. Berrett and Summerfield are the very definition of average, and the writing was on the wall when they were retained and selected during the early games. I think Rose has some good attributes, and, on balance, is about our best CM, but we'll never get anywhere until we improve the quality in these positions. This is where we are most lacking IMO.

Osborne has promise and McAllister is perpetually injured so.....

There's been such an anti berrett campaign from the moment he was signed by hurst because he was seen as another York cast off that he's fighting a losing battle to gain the respect of the majority of town fans .
From what I've seen of him this season he's a different player since being given a run in the team in his best position and as it looks like sladey isn't likely to drop him I wouldn't be surprised to see him become one our most consistent performers this season and prove a lot of fans wrong

If it's not obvious, I'm a Berrett fan. I think he's fitter this year, he's playing in his natural position and you can see why he's played over 200 games in League 1. Equally, I can see why he isn't everyone's cup of tea, because he tends to move the ball quickly rather than spectacularly. As others have said, he's better in the air than most and has tackled more since he's played more central too.
