Winger Welsh hopes duo's striking partnership will pay off
Bowditch netted ten times during his first campaign with Yeovil Town, while Sam Williams impressed with his battling approach.
However, injuries to the pair restricted their chances of playing together and forming a link that showed glimpses of quality.
Welsh admitted that it was often like "trying to find the needle in the haystack" with just one striker and said he was relishing the prospect of playing along side the duo and new arrival Andy Williams.
"It has been difficult because we only had one or the other and we only had a short spell when they were together," said Welsh.
"As a wide man we work on in training Dean and Sam being able to get into areas and there were times when we went into games with only one fit striker.
"Sometimes it was like trying to find the needle in the haystack because a lot of teams in this division just back off and pack the penalty area when you are trying to get crosses in.
"To have two people in there and a third in the likes of Andy Williams coming in from the right hopefully will help me in terms of getting more assists and the team in terms of getting more goals.
"Andy seems to be direct and I think he has played a lot of his career as a centre forward as well, so naturally he is attack-minded as a player.
"That is going to bode well for us because the way we played last year, the gaffer is trying to do the same and be more direct.
"We are trying to get crosses in, we are working up and down and be more mobile in that position.
"Andy is looking very fit and athletic and he showed glimpses of what he could do against Swansea City."
Former Sunderland wide man Welsh missed the start of pre-season training with an ear infection, but has since played a part in all four of the Glovers' pre-season friendlies.
Welsh said: "It has gone well. I missed the first couple of days because I had an ear infection, but I have played in all of the games and we are all looking fit and ready to go.
"It was a great test against Swansea because they kept the ball very well, but we had to keep the ball in our positional sense, which was what the manager was looking at.
"We are still a few weeks away from the new season, but I think we are looking good really."
Manager Terry Skiverton has moved to strengthen his squad with the addition of Ed Upson, Andy Williams, Paul Huntington, Luke Ayling and Arsenal loanee Luke Freeman.
Welsh said the new signings were settling well and admitted he began feeling excited about the new season as soon as returned for training.
"You need to get used to different players, the way they play, and they need to get used to the way you play," he said.
"Everyone has come in and worked just as hard as anyone else, which is what I think the manager is looking for.
"He is looking for people to be hungry and fight for the position, which is what I think everyone has done.
"I get the tingle on the first day, I love coming into training and I miss that and the games."
