Garry Monk promises Swansea will rebound quickly from thrashing

"I've been on the end of those results as a player and you can't wait for the next game to come -- it doesn't matter if it's a friendly," Monk said. "You want to get out on the pitch and put things right. The players know the first 45 minutes against Chelsea was unacceptable but we can't make a massive meal about it.

"We've been fantastic this season and we just have to show what we have done in the majority of the games.

"I had a good chat with the players when they came back into training and we will respond at Blackburn. Everything we wanted to achieve at the start of the season is still there in our own hands and that's been the message to the players this week."

Monk knows the value of a good cup run having been part of the Swansea squad which went all the way to Wembley in 2013 and lifted the Capital One Cup. The former centre-half played the last half-hour as a substitute in the 5-0 final victory over Bradford and is now keen to experience that feeling as a manager.

"I've watched a lot of Blackburn in recent weeks and they're a very good side," Monk said about opponents who are 10th in the Championship and 21 places below Swansea on the league ladder. They'll want to do well at home but we want to put last week right and go on a cup run ourselves.

"We've experienced that already and it's magic to go on a run like that because it creates confidence throughout the whole club and the city."

Full-back Kyle Naughton could make his Swansea debut after completing his 5 million-pound move from Tottenham on Thursday, and Monk seems set for a busy end to the January transfer window after confirming his interest in Norwich full-back Martin Olsson and Stuttgart midfielder Alexandru Maxim.

But he admits that he hopes to sort out any business well before the end of the transfer deadline on Feb. 2.

"I like to get any business done and dusted because I don't like leaving it to the last minute - that's why I leave it to the chairman," Monk said. "We've spoken about targets and shortlisting them and we'll see whether it's right for the club. This period can be good or bad for the club.

"It was a great opportunity for us to sign Kyle but we don't want to lose important players like [Wilfried] Bony. It depends who walks in or who walks out whether you have enjoyed the transfer window."

Naughton says he plans to follow Gylfi Sigurdsson's example in proving a Swansea hit after making the same move from Tottenham.

Sigurdsson has impressed in his second Swansea spell since leaving Spurs last summer, scoring five goals and lying joint second on the Premier League assists table with eight.

"I've watched Gylfi a few times since he's been here and he can't put a foot wrong," Naughton said. "Having played with him I know exactly what he can do and it's no surprise that he's come here and kicked on like he has.

"He's playing really well and I want to thrive at Swansea like him. This is one of the best places to come and do that and also this style of football will suit me."

Naughton managed only 74 appearances in five-and-a-half years at Spurs and went out on loan to Middlesbrough, Leicester and Norwich in search of regular first-team football.

His path at White Hart Lane was blocked by his former Sheffield United team-mate and England right-back Kyle Walker, but the 26-year-old is determined to prove that he can establish himself at the top level.

"There were rumours about another loan, but I wanted to be settled because I think you play better football then," Naughton said. "Spurs are a massive club, they're forever bringing players in and out and sometimes it can be a little unsettling. Last year I played around 30 games while Kyle was injured, but he came back into the set-up and now he's playing every game again.

"He was flying and sometimes you've got to hold your hands up but I want to prove I'm a quality player who can play at the top level."
