Harry Smith arrival provides Swindon Town frontline with a focal point... but does he bring the goals the team needs?

There will not be a defender in the fourth tier who relishes the prospect of an afternoon in the striker's armpit. Still, football is about goals. And with the signing of Smith, are Swindon ticking that box?
