Nigel Pearson said he would draw the positives from Leicester City's defeat at Crystal Palace.
City slipped to a 2-0 defeat after conceding twice from set pieces inside three second half minutes and the City boss said there were certainly aspects of his side's display that needed working on.
However, Pearson remained level-headed about City's second defeat of the season and said there were plenty of positives to take from his side's start to the campaign.
"I can't sit here after games and be as emotional as other people are," he said.
"I have to reflect on performances that has a bit of balance to it.
"Our performances have been positive so far and there have been positives from all the games, but as always there are areas you can improve on.
"What makes the difference is whether the result goes your way so you can put a different slant on it.
"First and foremost the performances have been pretty good this season.
"In the first half at Palace we didn't play as well as we could have, but that is not to say that everything today was not good.
"We had some good aspects to our play but that is how it goes."
Pearson was pleased with the number of opportunities City created and admitted, had they taken them, the outcome could have been very different.
"We created chances," he said.
"Palace do defend deep. That is how they had their success last season. That is why we had so much possession in the first half.
"You have to ease them out before you hit them on the break. I thought we did it pretty well in the first half.
"We created some pretty decent chances by being patient and managing the ball pretty well.
"The margins are pretty fine. If we had taken our chances we could be talking in a different way.
"We have to make sure that what has got us success to this point we continue to work at, and aspire to be that better as well."
