The 24-year-old joined the Chairboys for an undisclosed fee during the January Transfer Window from League Two Chesterfield, but hasn’t made the matchday squads for the seven games since his arrival. These were against Northampton Town (0-0), Barnsley (2-1 win), Cambridge United (1-1), Crawley Town (1-1), Bristol Rovers (2-0 win) and Wigan Athletic (0-0) in the league, and Preston North End (0-0) in the FA Cup respectively. Prior to his move down south, he had scored 10 goals in 28 matches in all competitions this season.
Berry was also one of 15 new players to arrive at Adams Park last month (this includes the re-signing of Caleb Taylor on loan from West Bromwich Albion). Speaking after the 0-0 draw against Wigan Athletic on February 22, Dodds said: “He's not injured. “We’ve got a luxury of players available to us and he’s come into a football club that is not struggling or is in midtable.
“He’s come into a team fighting for promotion and it’s not just him. “You’ve got the likes of Adam Reach, Anders [Hagelskjær] and Magnus [Westergaard] so it's not just James Berry, but I can understand it's frustrating for the boys but it is what it is. “It is one of the biggest headaches I’ve got and the boys just need to roll their sleeves up and be better than the players in front of them.
” One of the new faces expected to feature in the stalemate versus the Latics was right back Fin Back. The on-loan Nottingham Forest man made his debut in the midweek victory.
