He's a quintessential top of diamond/behind front two player and I believe that's where he mostly played for Fleetwood and was most effective. He hasn't the finishing touch or the hold up play to be the centre of a front 3, likewise he hasn't the pace to play in any wider positions. For Grant to thrive you have to play either of the following in my opinion (based on current personnel):

Lainton
Carrington Lawlor Pearson Jennings
Walker
Rutherford Summerfield
Grant
Oswell Beavon/Tollit

Lainton
Lawlor Pearson Carrington/Manny
Rutherford Walker Summerfield Tollit
Grant
Oswell Beavon

It is, however, unlikely that we'll see a formation change and some will argue 4-1-2-1-2 or 3-4-1-2 are too complex, however I genuinely feel that is how you'll get the best of Grant based on what we currently have.

Agree with option 1.
