Bruce Anderson hopes the "perfect" appointment of Kris Doolan can help him rejuvenate Kilmarnock's season with regular goals.
Former Partick Thistle striker Doolan temporarily replaced the sacked Stuart Kettlewell and has a second chance to end Kilmarnock's long wait for a win when they face St Mirren in Paisley on Saturday.
Frontman Anderson, who has netted four times this season, said: "The change has given us all a lift and brought in a freshness.
"I looked straight away at a former striker coming in and thought it was perfect for me.
"I've been trying to pick his brain over the last few days on how I can get back to scoring regularly. It's been really good.
"As a striker, when you go through spells like this, it's about simplifying your game and getting between the sticks.
"That's what he's been trying to drive home to me and all the other attackers.
"We know as players we have to take responsibility. We've not been good enough or clinical enough in front of goal. Now it's about working our backsides off every day."
A goal from Anderson in Paisley could be a good omen for Killie, who have not lost this season when he has scored. The 27-year-old's four goals have come in games which have earned Killie six of their 12 points.
"I've been in football long enough now that I know one win can spark you back into life," he said. "It would give the fans a lift and the club a lift.
"As players, we're hurting right now. We know it's not been good enough, the amount of time we've gone without a win. It's just one wee result which can kick-start your season."
