Gary Johnson believes Yeovil Town successfully and quickly filled the void left by attacker Andy Williams after his summer switch to Swindon Town.
The versatile front man scored 17 goals in an injury-hit second season at Huish Park, boosted by a purple patch after Christmas before heading 80 miles north to the County Ground when out of contract.
Williams has struck three times in 19 appearances for Paolo Di Canio's high-flyers but has failed to net in the last seven outings leading up to Saturday's clash with his former employers.
Despite the 26-year-old's exit, the Glovers have not struggled in front of goal with James Hayter and Carlisle United loanee Paddy Madden scoring 11 between them and finding support from Sam Foley and Gozie Ugwu (both three).
Johnson said: "Andy Williams played in the last game so I think he play again on Saturday. There was talk about Swindon bringing in another striker (Norwich City loanee Chris Martin) so we will have to wait and see.
"But whoever they play we will be aware of them and it will be down to whichever team is at their best on the day.
"Scoring goals hasn't been our problem, certainly away from home, and we have got two lads that have been scoring.
"We were sorry to lose Andy. At the time we felt we had done a lot for him to improve his game and he also did a lot for himself.
"But there is no point crying over spilt milk, we did lose him and we had to quickly find striker that would score goals to take his place and we did that."
Ugwu will miss Saturday's clash as he continues to overcome a hamstring injury sustained against Portsmouth at the start of last month.
"There are not too many major injuries," said Johnson. "We have had the long term ones like Nathan Ralph (knee) and Lewis Young (ankle).
"There is competition there and we are having to talk to the subs to say 'we're really sorry, you're going to have to wait your turn and produce a game when it comes around'.
"Gozie won't be involved because he is our sixth loan (can only name five in a match day squad) and the reason he won't is because we feel he is not mentally over his injury.
"There is an opportunity for him to play at Goodison Park on Sunday for Reading against Everton and we will see then if he is mentally ready to play in important league games for us."
