We were extremely lucky with injuries (or lack of them) to our main forwards last season

From the two games I have seen, I believe Holt needs his usual month or 2 to get up to speed and start scoring.

Take away Holt's impressive goal scoring record last season and we would have struggled.

No manager seems to want to play Morison and Holt up front together for a run of games, so imagine for one moment that Jackson gets injured, we'd be left with playing Holt or Morison with Martin, or one up front.

Yeah my bottom without a trace comment was OTT, but with all the teams in the Premier League strengthening I think if we don't sign another pacey forward who can help not only with goals, but creating space and chances for Holt or Morison, we're in trouble.
