The target man's falure to produce a finishing product from his efforts thus far has angered segments of the Foxes Faithful.
Although providing much needed support for eight goal Matty Fryatt, the 33-year-old has yet to find the net himself.
Howard had several chances to wrap up all three points at Vicarage Road on Saturday, the most frustrating of them came when he fired what seemed like a simple header wide of the post when the Foxes led 2-0 thanks to a Fryatt brace before the break.
However, the former Derby man is confident the goals will return: 'It can affect strikers but it is not weighing on my mind.
'I know it happens and it has happened at periods during my career, and it will happen again, but you just have to get on with it.
'I would be panicking if I wasn't getting chances because I would be doing something wrong. The chances are there but I just need one to go in off my backside. I am happy with the way I am playing and, as long as the gaffer is happy, then I am happy.' Howard told the Leicester Mercury.
The Foxes host Championship highflyers Preston N.E tomorrow. Alan Ervine's side were knocked out of the Carling Cup third round by Tottenham after a Peter Crouch hat-trick in mid week and will be hoping to bounce back at the Walkers Stadium.
