  • Looks like he’s ready to give up now. Spent more time trying to get booked than he did on the ball
  • Unimpressed
  • Offers more of an attacking threat in those two more advanced midfield positions than Anderson and A Campbell. 

    Having 2 cdms and 2 cams that all have similar skillsets none of which are creative or goal scoring are part of the reason we have struggled.

    Personally would like to see TC and Berry line up in the two CAM positions behind Godden and Leaburn. Still plenty of defensive cover with Taylor and Coventry both in the pivot.
    I think that’s our best team, only concern would be that if you start all of our best attacking players, then there is then nothing to come off the bench

    Wouldn't say there's nothing left on the bench - Kanu, Dixon, Aneke if fit, Anderson would do a job bringing energy and pressing, there's options to switch it up there really.
  • TC and Berry is too attacking with 2 out and out strikers if you ask me, especially with our one paced midfield and defence

    Is it any more attacking than when we had Aribo and Williams/another in a diamond under Bowyer? Not as talented but the balance is currently too far the other way, we need goals and pace in midfield which those two would add more than any other midfielders in the squad.

    No but that's the issue I'm getting at, when we played like that under Bowyer we didn't have a back 4 as poor as Watson, Mitchell, Gillesphey, Edwards. 

    If we had Ramsay and Jones instead, it's slightly more feasible.

    I thought Kanu was still injured

    We need players who through the team who know where the goal is. I thought Anderson might have those attributes too but not showing it this season, he is still young. We also need strikers who know where it is to a greater extenct. So far, playing two a game, they have chpped in with 5 goals between them when I think when it should be about 10! For this reason alone, Berry needs to start.

     Luke Berry pre-Exeter City interview (February 2025)

  • 5 goals and 5 assists now, which is not too bad a return and he's probably unlucky not to have a couple more of each. 
    Not been quite as impactful as maybe I hoped but pretty tidy and certainly doing his bit.
  • Thought today was one of his best games for us.
    Yep agreed. I’ve been well disappointed with him (which I assume makes me a hater) but thought he had his best game today 
  • I'll be the first to admit I expected a bit more, and during our worst time of the year he stood out as someone low on confidence and it translated to a low workrate on the pitch. However when he is on song he's clearly a very talented player with a lot to offer still, yesterday he was the perfect foil for the front 2, dropping into pockets of space, moving forwards into gaps that opened up when TC and Small stretched them, and playing some beautiful passes along the way
  • I think he is underrated by so many, his movement is the best at the club bar maybe Godden
