I would rather blood a raw, fresh youngster like Sambou than have Fortune lumber his way through another minute in a Sky Blue shirt. Give him a shot, TM.
Just stick him on the bench. Even if he doesn't come on, good experience to be named in a FA Cup tie.
It would be good to bring him in given the goal scoring form at the moment. He may be another Armstrong and it's not like we're premier league. If you can't blood a player in league 1 then when can you?
I'm still worried about Armstrong going back so would be a good idea to test him out.

I imagine Villa have other priorities than the FA Cup, so wouldn't worry about having JC cup-tied.
At least one of those will be in the starting line up though... glad to see he is on the bench - if we are winning the game would be good opportunity to blood the lad.
True but if they are hoping to move him elsewhere they might not have wanted him cup tied.
Not only will it be good for the lad to be involved with the first team squad but it will show the others what happens when you put the effort in and do well.
Put him on for the occasional 10 minutes when the result of the game seems to have been decided and see how he handles it. Winning at the time preferably. Then he might be ready for next season.

As I said "seems to be"
And if he has pace and knows where the goal is like it looks as though he does it will take the pressure off us.
Hard to tell much today as he hardly got a kick. Looks like a goalscorer from his runs and positioning though. I say he's worth a shot off the bench again.
Well let's hope so. Kids coming through the academy to make it in the first team are a godsend.
Looks like he maybe a good player chased back tackled and looked hungry.
Did more in 15 min then the rest of them.

Fortune had a near pwrfecr gsme in his home debut so whilst I agree he's been poor since no need to close the book on him so soon
