Jamie Vardy has acknowledged that Leicester City's season has been "dodgy" and "frustrating" so far.
The Foxes sit 17th in the Premier League table having won only one of their seven games so far, picking up just five points out of a possible 21 under Craig Shakespeare.
Vardy is feeling optimistic, however, given that tough fixtures against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are now out of the way.
"It's been a dodgy one to be honest with you," Vardy told Sky Sports News. "We've put in some really good performances and got nothing out of it, and then other times, like Huddersfield away, we weren't at our best and we got a point out of it.
"It's been frustrating, but we know we've got to keep going, and put in some of the performances we did at the start of the season. The points will come.
"It is early days in the season. If you look at some of the teams we've had to play up to now, they're all up there, challenging for the title. They're out of the way now and it's down to us to start picking the points up."
Leicester's next Premier League game is on Monday night, with West Bromwich Albion coming to the King Power Stadium.
