QPR's head coach says there's not much you can tell him about playing up top.
After all, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink did for 18 years at some of the world's elite clubs, including Chelsea.
So he believes that if the current crop of Rs want to add to the 16 goals in 14 games, they have to be braver in front of goal.
Rangers face an exciting derby live on Sky under the Friday floodlights at Loftus Road after drawing a blank at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday - and Hasselbaink insists a bit more savvy in front of goal will pay dividends.
"I used to be a striker so I know how it is for my strikers," he said.
"In the final third we need a little bit more imagination.
"I want us to try things more and have the freedom to do something to take somebody on and I want us to play with that freedom, especially in the final third and that I think we can become better.
"I think it's important for forward players that they are allowed to try things they are feeling at the time in a disciplined way and with team ethic."
The gaffer has got it in the neck from all types of fan social media for what are perceived to be negative tactics summed up by a lone frontman.
And he agrees without the 1-0 win over Bristol City last time out at home, Brentford next up, would be harder still.
QPR v Brentford - all the essential build up
"If we got a negative result against Bristol it'd be a lot tougher going into this game," he added. "Everyone can look forward to it now.
"We want to encourage people not to be afraid as we have match winners.
"Cherys... Polters... and we want to try stuff and not be afraid to mess it up or kick it into the stand.
"(Tjaronn) Chery can put one into the top corner. Our wingers can score goals. If we can get that from the boys up top we can see an exciting game."
