Who else is going to win balls in the air, who plays for NCFC?

Not Rowan Vine, not Jamie Cureton, not Chris Martin, not Darren Huckerby, not David Strihavka (well, maybe)...

The way we are playing at the moment (Hoof Hoof Hoof) means that we need someone like Brown up there.

Maybe Strihavka and Martin would work, but who knows.

As things stand, we haven't got the personnel available in midfield to create chances on the deck, and we haven't been playing the right players upfront who will utilise the long ball.

Either Grant is telling players to pass it, and they're hoofing it, or Grant is telling the players to hoof it, and playing the least suited partnership upfront to win the ball.

Maybe if he admitted defeat on passing football and played the big lads upfront we might get somewhere.
