Roy Hodgson is confident Fulham can go from strength to strength now that Andy Johnson has returned from injury to re-form his strike partnership with Bobby Zamora.
The former Everton man made his first start since October in Saturday's FA Cup third round win over Swindon.
Johnson looked lively alongside in-form Zamora and even won a penalty in the second half, although his tame spot-kick was saved by Robins' stopper David Lucas.
The 28-year-old scored 10 goals last term to help Fulham finish seventh and earn them a place in this year's Europa League.
Groin and shoulder injuries have limited the striker to just 11 appearances this year though, and he is yet to find the target in the Premier League.
Hodgson is sure Johnson will find his scoring boots now that he is back in the side with Zamora, who scored his sixth goal in seven matches last weekend.
"Bobby and AJ have a good understanding together and AJ gives us that threat in behind," said Hodgson, who takes his side to Stoke tomorrow.
"Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora are our first choice strikers. We have others, Zoltan (Gera) has done a great job in there, of course we've got (Erik) Nevland, (Diomansy) Kamara and (Seol) Ki-Hyeon.
"But Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora were the two players who were bought to play in those positions and they are the two players who last season kicked us into seventh place."
