Ryan Fredericks

Fredericks really is a sicknote. Can we really afford to keep him?

[hopper]

Like him as a player, but he seems to go off pretty much every game. You know it's around the corner - and it places a heavy burden on the team

Someone on the Brighton board reporting their player was lucky not to be booked for hauling him down.

If rugby tackling your opponent is counted as being unlucky not to get booked then that Brighton supporter is correct!

[Mokes]

To be fair it's hardly his fault. He is so much quicker than 90% of those he is is playing against. Because he is so quick players end up hacking him down trying to get the ball from his feet.

Spot on.  Sicknotes don't relish playing.  Fred shows quite a lot of relish for courses of action that often result in a bashing.  In a squad system there's surely room for someone like him, even if he's playing cameos and out more frequently than other more conservative players.
