Fury were thumped 5-0 when the two teams met earlier in the campaign.

"Revenge is a horrible word and it's not something we've spoken about," Fowler said. "We'll go into the game and we'll try and get a result like we try to get a result against every team we play.

"It's not about revenge."

Fowler can't see points against the Gold Coast being easy pickings, despite a 6-0 thumping by Wellington last week while his Fury team grabbed a 2-1 win at home against Perth Glory.

To the Fury captain, round 13 is just another day at the office and one in which the team have to perform at their best.

"It's going to be a tough game. We're under no illusions," Fowler said.

"We've just had our first win at home and our boys are quietly confident that we can go there and hopefully do well.

"Wellington have given Gold Coast a bit of a hiding we know what it feels like. They always say beware the wounded animal so we'll have to be on our toes.

"It will be massive for us. You play one team and get beaten 5-0, you play them a few months later and it'll be a measure of how far we've come if we do manage to get a result.

"We're quietly confident. We've been playing well lately and admittedly we've only had one home win and one away win but we've been playing good football."

 "We got battered last time we played the Gold Coast. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen.

"We've proved to people since then that we're not as bad as what that result made out. We'll take it in our stride and hopefully we can get a better result.

"I think as players we knew we weren't good enough and it can't happen again."

Experienced midfielder Ufuk Talay is being rested for the Gold Coast clash with a minor calf injury, taking away some of the headaches Ferguson might have had about whether Daniel McBreen should take the place of a player from a winning team.

Sections of the media suggested Fury would have to play either McBreen or David Williams, but Ferguson had other ideas.

"McBreen will definitely start and Williams will definitely start," said Ferguson.

And the Fury mentor also brushed aside suggestions he wasn't happy with Williams' form early in the season and explained he believed the weight of expectation on the young forward may have worked against him.

"Being a young kid I didn't want to keep putting him in there, throwing him in where performances might have dipped," Ferguson said

"I'm delighted with him. When he does come on as a sub or he plays he gives us something. It's that genuine pace and he's direct. He runs at people and causes them problems."
