Bowen and West Ham are ready for tonight's clash with Brentford at London stadium.
"It feels like an awful long time since we’ve played at home, with two away games followed by the international break, so we’re pleased to be back in east London with your support,” Bowen wrote in his column for West Ham's match programme.
“We need to improve our home form and that’s something that’s really important for us. We’ve got four games now before the next international break and it’s a really big opportunity to pick up results and shoot right back up the league.
“If you look at the league table, we’re only a couple of results away and we play Monday and Friday this week, so it’s a really good time to put in some good performances and get some good results. Of course, we take things game by game, but we also know two or three good results and it looks a whole lot different.
“We feel confident in what the Head Coach is trying to do and how we’ve adapted to it in such a short amount of time.
“Nuno’s teams have always been really, really difficult to play against. I remember playing against his Wolves team in the Championship when I was at Hull and they walked the league that season.
“What he’s done since then, he’s had some really good success, most recently at Nottingham Forest, getting them into Europe, and that’s where we want to be. It might seem a million miles away to some people, but I really don’t think it is.
“A couple of results changes the mood, changes the dynamic, changes the energy and the feel, so we’re really excited to work with him.
“The first couple of games that we’ve had under Nuno, I think there have been positives there. Obviously, there’s still a lot to improve on, but all we can do is come in every day and listen to his ideas and put them into practice on the training pitch and then on game day.
“The messages have been clear for us of what we want to do and what he expects so, for us as a group, it’s for us to listen to what he says, respect what he wants to do and all put it in.”
