Gower Worried By Lack Of Goals
Swansea winger Mark Gower admits he wants to get his first Swansea goal under his belt
Gower has yet to find the net since his summer switch from Southend and he admits that that factor is now playing on his mind as he prepares to face Burnley at the Liberty on Saturday.
Yet again on Tuesday night he saw a shot rebound off the post as he looked to open his account for the season with goals currently at a premium for the Swans at the moment overall.
"In the format we play, the onus is on myself, Tom Butler and Jason Scotland to score," Gower told BBC Sport.
"I'm doing the right things, I've hit the woodwork a couple of times, but I could do with a bit of luck and I feel that I need that goal for confidence.
"I still think playing with one up front suits us, we've dominated teams.
We've had a decent start in the league, we've been on top of most teams," Gower told BBC Sport Wales.
"We're 10th in the league and two points off the play-off positions.
"The formation we play with a lone striker helped the club dominate League One last season and we've been on top of most sides this year.
"I feel that I've settled into the team team well, we had a good, long, pre-season - but I need that goal to take pressure off myself!"

Swansea City : The confusing decision making for a whole season It was a pretty poor end to what can only be described as a disappointing football season for Swansea City. The defeat to Millwall yesterday was a display that has frustrated Swansea City supporters all season. A lack of effort, intensity and desire rewarding the home support with yet another home loss.
Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
