Agreed. Poor day for him today. We were saying he didn?t look fit. Lots of tape over the back of hamstrings. Never seemed to really open himself up either forwards or tracking backwards. He still seems better as an impact player.

Berry and dobra seam to not be getting on today dobra didn't want to give berry the ball so he switched wings .
Dobra for me needs to pass more than trying to take every player on it as if he's trying to get a big money deal in January and leave.
Berry must be getting a tad drunk if he's not getting the ball

I thought Cook switched Berry and Dobra because the Notts wingback (No.2) was playing very high and looked a real problem, beating Mandeville easily a couple of times.

Once he pulled Berry over to the right it meant the wingback needed to drop deeper to double-up and help out the Notts No.4 who didn?t want running at by Berry.

No.4 could manage Dobra but couldn?t be exposed to a foot race with Berry.

Tactical change to negate the threat down our right from the Notts No.2.

I don?t think I?ve ever seen him play without that tape on, he can?t need it every single game surely?

I think I could have coped with Berry today, he really did have an off day. I'm sure he'll be different next time out.

For wearing K tape? Why?
(Apart from the cost of the stuff)!

As previously mentioned berry wasn?t at the races today. Hope he becomes a 90 minute man soon

[Walton Spireite]

Berry was **** today. Needs taking to one side and given a huge a severe dressing down. If I see him down Brampton I will have a word.

[Nitrous Oxide]

He's had both hamstrings taped up for weeks now. Flat out sprinting is possibly not high up his list of things to do.

Hahahaha. Boo. Goose. To. Wouldn?t. Say.

Rearrange if not too taxing intellectually.

[Spireiteboy155]

Berry proved today that he should be coming in with 20 mins left. As others have said, he just didn?t look interested which is a concern.
At least twice, he had 5 yard plus on the county defender and didn?t look interested in getting there first.

Metcalfe had a poor game too, but there was at least some effort there.

Blimey some drama on here !

Berry strikes me as a player that Needs a hug rather than a severe dressing down .
I?d delighted he is here. Not somewhere else

Mods can we delete question marks please !

Think that?s. Question

He was same against Derby. Not ragging on him cos he?s having a good season, he?s a young lad prone to inconsistency.

At the age he is I don?t think we will ever improve th defensive side of the game. Totally lacking in game awareness when we are out of possession.

I don't think it's that difficult to adjust that side if his game.
Cook (or the defence coach) just needs to drill it in to him that when out if possession, be in a certain position on the pitch. To absolutely bust a b0110ck to be in that position and mark whomever when out of possession.

You're talking rubbish of course, but in the unlikely event this fantasy occurs, I hope he tells you to **** off.

[Gatesheed-Spireite]

Lets not forget he's our top scorer this season. An off day yesterday, maybe, but he's been a game changer several games.

I suspect that's why he's in and out of the team at the moment, because of his overall contribution to a game.

If what you say is true, then he'll have to settle for being an impact sub, when we're chasing a goal. Else leave.

However, I remain hopeful that his age is not a barrier to learning, and learning fast, and that he has the burning desire to better himself.
