'Football can change pretty quickly'

Vitor Matos says Swansea City's turnaround in form proves his players must not get carried away before Sunday's trip to Millwall (15:00 GMT).

Jay Fulton's spectacular late goal saw Swansea claim home victory over West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Day.

It was a fifth win in seven matches for a Swans side who had suffered five straight defeats before the upturn began when they overcame Oxford on 6 December.

Swansea were only outside the Championship's bottom three on goal difference after slumping to defeat at West Brom at the end of November.

But their triumph in the return fixture means 16th-placed Swansea are now eight points clear of the bottom three – and only eight points adrift of the top six.

"That's football, it can change pretty quickly and we know as well that it can change still," said Swansea head coach Matos.

"So it's important for us to stay focused on the process, focus on what we need to do to improve.

"[We need] to keep improving and keep doing the steps we want on the direction we believe is the best one."

After defeats in his first two games at the helm, Matos has rejuvenated a Swansea side who had lost their way under former boss Alan Sheehan.

But despite Swansea's healthier league position, the Portuguese insists there will be no reassessment of targets for the moment.

"I think what we can look at is in to two days, we play against Millwall," he said.

"We will try to find the best squad and the best 11 to start the game. We need to play every game like a final."
