No I’d stick with them. Carrick success has been with these players and consistency is key with the line up. Obviously McNair in for Fry. That’s all.Bar the obvious with fry’s suspension of course.
Given how bad Sundays overall display was esp in mf can you see carrick opting to stick by them or roll the dice to get a reaction.
I think its harsh on Crooks to suggest dropping him. In the 3 league games before Sunderland, he set up a goal against Blackburn, scored 2 and an assist against Birmingham and played very well against Millwall. He wasnt taken off against the Mackems because he was particularly poor either, it was just tactical.
Fry? You mean Lenihan.—————-Forss—————-
