To be honest, I quite like Fortune and just feel he well just be on a poor run of form, but he is not a goal scorer.
TM picked the side that he had to, rather than wanted to and for that's key.
I'm sure he wouldn't have picked Fortune for this game unless he felt he needed to.
Would also say recent cup form may well be relevant, whichever manager is in charge.
When you've had bad cup results over a period that can manifest an unease amongst the supporters in the stands going into a game.
If you've had a good pedigree you're a lot less likely to be saying 'oh here we go again.'
Despite our excellent home form I bet there were quite a number on here and in the ground thinking it might well be a cup upset.
Looking at the team myself I didn't even see it as an upset.
