Cherries: Hollands hoping for a perfect 10
DANNY Hollands insists Cherries have plenty of firepower and he is aiming to help soften the blow of losing two ace marksmen in quick succession.[LNB] Both Brett Pitman and Josh McQuoid have departed Dean Court since the start of the season with the prolific pair earning moves to the Championship after hitting form for Cherries.[LNB] McQuoid, who stepped into Pitman's boots after the Jerseyman joined Bristol City, played a major role in the club's impressive start to the League One campaign.[LNB] Despite seeing the homegrown frontman join Millwall, Hollands believes free-scoring Cherries possess a lot of goal threats.[LNB] Michael Symes is back to fitness, while rookie trio Lyle Taylor, Danny Ings and Jayden Stockley will all be bidding to force their way into the striking mix.[LNB] Goals have also come from midfield this term, with playmaker Marc Pugh particularly productive since signing from Hereford United in the summer.[LNB] Hollands told the Echo: We've got goals. We've got Liam Feeney, Marc Pugh, Anton Robinson, myself and there are lots of other people who can chip in with goals.[LNB] We've just got to make sure we all do our bit to make sure we do get enough goals and win games.[LNB] Hollands, who only trails Pitman in the goalscoring charts during the Eddie Howe era, has hit three in nine starts since returning to Cherries' first-choice XI.[LNB] And he has set a target of reaching double figures as he looks to help Cherries continue the promising start which has seen them climb into the League One play-off zone.[LNB] He said: I set myself a goal tally of between five and 10 goals every year. I've never quite managed to reach the 10 mark yet.[LNB] If I were to reach it, it would be a personal highlight.[LNB] Hollands, who missed much of pre-season due to a hernia problem, added: I've been in the team for the past nine games and feel that I'm just about there.[LNB] Hopefully, I can try to keep my place in the team because there are lots of people that want to get their chance.[LNB]
