Watford midfielder Don Cowie is glad he got out of the old routine, even if he had to travel 550 miles to do it. [LNB]Cowie, who was bought from Inverness on transfer deadline day, scored the opener and made the second goal at Vicarage Road. [LNB]And he is glad he accepted the challenge to play in England, saying: 'I could have stayed in Scotland - but I wanted to better myself and I think I'm doing that here. [LNB][LNB] On target: Don Cowie scores the opening goal for the hosts at Vicarage Road[LNB]'You go into every game here and it's different. 'The challenge is there every week, whereas in Scotland you play every team four times and it gets monotonous.' [LNB]Cowie appeared to be offside for his goal, but linesman Paul Martin did not flag and the midfielder latched on to Grzegorz Rasiak's flick and beat Julian Speroni. [LNB]And in the second half Cowie wriggled past Matt Lawrence and sent in a low cross which hit Jobi McAnuff before bouncing off Jose Fonte via Speroni in a mess that ended up with the ball in the back of the net.[LNB] Out in the cold: Palace keeper Julian Speroni cuts a disconsolate figure as Watford's second scorer Jobi McAnuff is mobbed by his delighted team-mates[LNB] [LNB]Palace have won just one game in their last seven and are 10 points above the drop zone, leaving defender Clint Hill concerned about the prospect of relegation. [LNB]He said: 'Of course we still need to be a bit careful - we're not safe yet. We need three wins as quick as possible to get us safe.' [LNB][LNB] [LNB]
