Nigel Pearson insists the points will come if his Leicester City side continue to perform as they have done so far.
Defeat at Newcastle on Saturday means City have picked up just one point from their last three Premier League games.
But Pearson said while they should have secured more points from the games against Crystal Palace, Burnley and Newcastle, he was happy with the overall level of performance from his troops.
"We are certainly short of the points I would expect so far, but we will continue to work hard," he said.
"I know what my players are capable of. There will always be room for improvements but the application has been very good so far.
"I try not to get involved in the emotional reaction to results because it is easy to get carried away with a really good result, or a surprising result, but also pretty dangerous to let a disappointing result get under your skin.
"I am sure the fans are enjoying the Premier League so far and I am sure they will see differences.
"But I like to think they are proud of their team because I think we have performed pretty well so far."
After a disrupted fortnight of training because of the international break, Pearson said it was back to work ahead of Saturday's trip to Swansea and he was looking forward to a good week of training with his full squad.
He also revealed defender Matt Upson will be stepping up his rehabilitation after a foot injury.
"That is one of the benefits of this division, there are less midweek games and that gives us a chance to get back to work," said the City boss.
"It appears we are okay again this week in terms of injuries. Upson will be stepping up training, which is a positive thing.
"Matt will be a while yet but he is ahead of schedule, which is the main thing.
"Timescales are always difficult to put an exact one on so we will see how we go. It is pleasing he has made the sort of progress he has."
