Surprised crooks is in, not surprised that Fry isn't.

Fry missing

Fry must be injured, would prefer Archer up front, but hey ho!!

That's a terrible/strange team. Fingers crossed it proves us wrong.

What a shocker of a team

Just wish this idea of having Crooks up front comes to an end. I'd think about him in midfield for some physicality and bite.
Cue incoming hat-trick!

Fry must be injured/ill. Archer has been carrying a knock for a while so not surprising with only two days in between games.

Speechless

My paranoid side (well, majority) is wondering if Fry has complained and there's been a falling-out. This is what it's like to be me.

 

[TeaCider]

Fry clearly has not been fit.

He missed training through the international break, and he's not featured at all since then, and now he's not even in the squad.

No need to slate the decision to start McNair with that in mind.

Totally agree. I bet fry has said,
: what is going on ?
And carrick has omitted him….
We could be wrong but seems the most likely scenario

Gutted about the team because we are going to get battered and bullied by Bristol who are not short on confidence

Been told Fry has had Covid and is still struggling to recover 100%. Not sure if this is true or not but would explain omission.

More believable than the other option put forward.

It’s obvious Fry hasn’t been fit. Everyone knows (including Carrick!) that we’re stronger with him at the back. I think he’s been on the bench because we literally have no other CB options.

Yeah but not as juicy.

Drury just said he has picked up a knock in training. A real blow having to persist with McNair

 

[futureboy]

I should probably stress that I wasn't actually putting forward a theory in my earlier post, but merely giving you an insight into my own head.

For what it's worth, which is close to nothing, someone on Twitter reckons they saw him wearing a protective boot earlier this week.

How does that seem the most likely story? You buffoon.

 

[Smogonsea]

Not wild in crooks upfront. But sounds like archer is carrying a knock. Hopefully he proves me wrong and has a blinder. Cmon boro!
