Swansea City head to the high flying Baggies on Tuesday looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship.<\/p>\n
But they know it will not be easy against Roberto Di Matteo’s team who are one of the favourites to make a Premier League place theirs come the end of the season.<\/p>\n
And Mark Gower has predicted it will be their toughest test of the season to date as he told the Western Mail \u201cMiddlesbrough looked a strong side when they came to us<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we were far below our own high standards that day.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut this game will be our toughest game of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever\u2019s top of the table is the best in the league at this precise moment, and they deserve to be there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve watched their games on TV and they look like they can score all types of goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a good footballing side, much like ourselves and I\u2019d like to think it will be a good spectacle. But we\u2019re going there on the back of a good run ourselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a few early defeats, we had a bit of pressure on us,\u201d said the 31-year-old winger.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it wasn\u2019t so much a case of pressure \u2013 perhaps it was more a case of feeling frustrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew we could do better, but things started to creep into our game. You want to win so badly for all kinds of reasons; for yourself, the team, the manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou end up trying too hard. Passes start going astray and you end up bickering with each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it shows how much we want to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout doubt, we\u2019re playing much more as a team now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re getting used to the manager\u2019s ideas, the new faces and we\u2019re starting to gel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re starting to come out the other side now \u2013 and we feel good going into every game.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when you keep avoiding defeat it breeds confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
