Amidst an availability crisis that is especially acute in attacking areas, which will see Swindon without their two top goalscorers from this season and their top scorer from last year, leaving a void for another attacking player to step into.
The obvious next player up would be Glatzel, given that he is one of three Town players to make 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
When asked whether he would expect him to step into that role, Holloway said that he would be happy to play him anywhere on the pitch at any level of football with the quality that he has.
He said: “There's no supporting act. There's no main actor. There's none of that. He \[Glatzel\] has been absolutely sensational since the preseason, since the day that he signed, he has been absolutely sensational.
“His football intelligence, not just goal scoring, his football intelligence is as high, if not higher, than anyone I've ever managed. Fact.
“I could play him anywhere, honestly. I'm so pleased for him, and I'm so pleased with him, that I could comfortably put him right back, right wing, centre back of a three, not a four of a three, and let him go and attack and play from there. Put him wing back. I could put him in either pocket or up the middle.
“I mean it, at any level that I've ever been at, I believe he could do it. That's how proud I am of him.”
Although he had to wait for his time to shine under Holloway, Glatzel has become a key player in his time at the club, and was rewarded with a two-year contract to keep him at the Nigel Eady County Ground over the summer.
The 62-year-old said that the way he conducts himself should be an example to any young person hoping to get into the game.
He said: “His work rate, his tenacity, and his endeavour; if anybody wants to be a footballer, just have a look at him.
"Any young person out there, just have a look at him and try and mould yourself on what that boy does.
“Apart from giving himself enough credit for all the skill sets that he does have, rather than just 'He should score.' It's nonsense. So he's been completely outstanding.”
