Because the games to come, their last five away games, Liverpool, Wolves, Man United, Man City and Everton.
In April, they've got back-to-back home games against Tottenham and Leicester.
So, I mean, the only wins they've had since September have been against strong sides.
But they need to snap out of this.
And that has to happen in the next two games, I think, with Brighton and Aston Villa.
It's hard to give Howe a free pass on that for me because either Jordan Ibe and Dominic Solanke and these young players are either being mismanaged by him and they're not reaching their full potential or they're just not good enough, in which case, why were these signings sanctioned and they were terrible signings?
So it's one or the other.
It does put him in depression.
It's a difficult test for him.
I think it was only a couple of months ago where he was being linked with top jobs and I think you could tell then he was a bit embarrassed about it.
Because he's thinking, you know, I've got a job to do here.
I'm not doing it perhaps as well as I should be.
I think he's done an amazing job in the round.
And it still baffles me that some of those guys you mentioned who've come up through the leagues have been as good as they are.
He had a team that he'd built coming up that was good enough to stay in the league.
It's just that if I was a Bournemouth fan, I'd be thinking, all this money we've spent, the opportunity to build something lasting has perhaps been wasted.
Obviously, they can still turn it around.
I think the Brighton game is absolutely huge.
If they win that, they're right back in it.
And you think, well, they've got to get through this sticky patch.
