Swans Gower targets Watford win

Last updated : 08 March 2010 By BBC Sport

Swansea City midfielder Mark Gower is confident that Saturday's 1-0 loss to promotion rivals Nottingham Forest will have no lasting ill-effects.Despite losing to an injury-time header from Luke Chambers, Swansea remain fourth in the Championship table and on course for at least the play-offs.

Paulo Sousa's side go to Watford on Tuesday night looking to bounce back.

"We've got 12 games to go [until the end of the season] and... another one coming up really quickly," Gower said.

"So that's good for us to blow the cobwebs off and get back to winning ways.

Despite the loss at Forest, with several Swansea players feeling they were denied a clear penalty for a foul on Darren Pratley, Gower believes they will soon put that match behind them.

"I don't think it'll effect us because it's not like we went there, played badly and lost three or four-nil," Gower added.

"We dug in and if it weren't for a couple of decisions our way we would have come away with a victory.

"So there's plenty of positives to take out of the game and I'm sure we'll do that and take them into Tuesday night.

"It'll be a tough game, it always is going there and Watford's definitely one of those pitches that aren't that good for passing on.

"But we've shown we can mix it the other way, we can battle and scrap and try and get three points that way... hopefully we'll get a good result."
