"The first two games (defeats to West Bromwich Albion and Watford) were a real disappointment and we are probably getting punished for those games now in terms of the league position and how everyone's feeling," Howe told the Daily Echo. "But I think in the past month, we have returned to somewhere near our best levels." Howe said they should have taken full points from the visit of Leicester at the end of last month instead of being held to a 0-0 draw. "We could have won the Leicester game by a big number and everyone would feel different about the team," he added. Last year we found those games incredibly difficult and it was no different to this year.
