My two brothers both unfortunate enough to have season tickets at west ham inform me that matt fry very highly rated at the club,would be a little worried with their form that matt fry may.be recalled in jan and do a job their left back aint doing at the moment.
Fry said on the OS a few weeks ago that he's a central defender, but happy to learn to play LB....... because all he wants to do is play in the team, and accepts he's not first choice CB.
Shame a Gravesend lad was missed by us. Had a good loan spell at Gills so really Parky should have known all about him. Not that that's taking anything away from Parky as Fry's looked our best full back the minute he came into the side.

Maybe not missed by us, Colin ....... maybe chose West Ham as an 11 year old, because possibly they were recommended or family connections - they may even support West Ham in his family.

I do believe Parky knew all about him at Gillingham - he played against us last season, remember.
And I'm sure most Division One managers have scouts who check out all Prem and Championship reserve teams for likely talent - free transfers and loans.
And agree with you, Colin - Fry has looked our best full back.
Something to do with keeping his game simple and decisive, perhaps?
Against Swindon, every time matt fry crossed the ball I was always on the edge of my seat ready to celebrate a goal, and did with Anyinsah. great crosser.
After West Ham allowed Fry to play in the FA Cup I became very hopeful that he would stay for the season and I think he will. The form of Fry and the new use of Jackson in midfield has been the key to our recent form imo.
I hope we keep him but wouldn't be surprised if he went back. I noted in the Lowry thread that the Aston Villa man is a Left sided defender who can either play left back or in the middle .
Given we can only have 5 loan players in a match day squad will Fry be seen as a Parky lad ?

Hopefully we can have him on loan for the season, only until start of January at the moment.

If he went back I'm not sure if he'd get into the West Ham squad because all PL teams are limited to 25 squad members?
Thanks for that, Jacko.
Thats Fry talking to Jacko mate

Says He's here til Feb....
I believe WHU is playing their game on Sat so who knows......
I'm new to twitter, all very exciting
RJ - you are correct - Fry did play in the first Barnet FA Cup game so he's already cup-tied - in our favour!!
