Dael was a regular starter when Woodgate was manager, wasn't he?
I know some on here don't have Fry as being of Premier League quality, but for me he's our best CB by far.
You can possibly argue he hasn't progressed over the past couple of years, but that is partly down to injury. I also think it took him longer than many to get used to 'Carrickball' and its only this season where he's trying to play the ball quicker.
My memory may be wrong, but I'm sure Fry was starting most games under Woodgate. Assuming Woody is a fan, you would think he's keen to see him in Carrick's starting XI.
Reflecting on the Sunderland line-up, and the decision to leave a local lad out of a derby...is it just a case that Carrick's isn't as keen on Fry?
