I agree that we should be playing Fortune to support Holt.
“there was far more emphasis on getting the ball forward when we were behind than under Martinez”
That’s true, but last season we were minnows in the Premier League. This season, we’re comparatively big fish in a smaller pool. Barnsley narrowly escaped relegation last season, while Bournemouth and Doncaster were both in League One. We shouldn’t be afraid of them.
Last season, our reserves – including Boselli – won at Bournemouth in the Cup. And I seem to remember that we got forward quickly enough at Everton in the Quarter Final. It must have impressed Bill Kenwright.
