Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn has given his full backing to manager Eddie Howe as the Premier League club look for their first win in 2017.

The Cherries have slipped to 14th, five points off relegation, and were thumped 6-3 by Everton on Saturday.

"Eddie is our manager and will continue to be our manager for the foreseeable future," Mostyn told BBC South Today.

"It is always a concern when you are not winning games," Mostyn added.

"Over the last three or four years the team have always had a poor run of form in January and February.

"I am totally convinced we will get back to winning ways. February presents us with a very difficult programme but the Premier League is topsy-turvy."
