Watson, signed for £150,000 from Rotherham last March, was bitterly diappointed when Jobi McAnuff scored a stoppage time winner for the Dons at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

The result saw Reading slip from a pormising eighth place to an uninspiring twelfth.

According to Watson tomorrow's game at home to Norwich is the perfect chance to plant Saturday's game well and truly in the past with a solid performance.

"We're getting there. Saturday's game was a big kick in the teeth especially because we felt it was a game that we could win," explained Watson, speaking to the Official Site.

"In the first half I felt that we were on top by a long way, and at half-time we said there was only one team that was going to win if we kept playing the same way.

"We got impatient and it got scrappy. In the last quarter of the game it became ragged and it looked like we were hoping we'd score rather than making it happen.

"It was especially disappointing considering it came on the back of two good away results in the league, if we'd have won it would have put us in a nice position but now it'd be nice to beat Norwich."
