Indeed - at the start of the season

with Lupoli and Jamie up front (I think) we played some good football. Then Sib came in and it was all s**t, ineffective hoofball to a striker who falls over more often than he wins headers.

Now we're back to playing decent football again with skilful, mobile players. Please can we not go back to hoofing it? Though I suspect Cort would win more headers and hold it up better than Sib.

- No. Carl Cort isn't going to walk into the team. It will take him at least 3/4 weeks (NCFC) - Brandonio, Dec 9, 10:01:44
  - That's the thing about cort too, lots of serious injuries (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Dec 9, 10:56:07
