The Ollie Palmer conundrum: Are Swindon Town more of an attacking threat with or without marquee signing?

ANALYSIS: If Town are going to be effective with Palmer up front, they need to give him the best possible chance of scoring. If there are limited outlets available to create those chances, Holloway must surely be thinking about shifting the team dynamic.
