Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson insists there is "no reason to be negative" following his side's lacklustre 2-0 defeat at Swansea.
Pearson's men were a shadow of the side that had made such an encouraging start to the campaign as they slumped to their third defeat in four Premier League games.
City were wasteful in possession, making far too many unforced errors in attack and defence, and were punished as Wilfried Bony scored twice for a slick Swansea side at the Liberty Stadium.
The result means City have taken just one point from their last four games, leaving them a point off the relegation places.
But despite what was arguably City's worst performance of the season, Pearson said he would not be getting too downbeat.
"It's very easy to be negative about either indifferent performances or poor results," said Pearson.
"It is very easy to look at what's not very good and what people can't do.
"As always, we'll reflect on our performance and move on, because the next game now becomes the most important.
"When you go four games and only pick up one point, it means that wins become more important.
"There's no reason to be negative or downbeat. It's about getting the preparation right and making sure we're ready for the next game."
City were undone by a flash of brilliance from Bony and Gylfi Sigurdsson for the opener.
A mix-up in the City defence gifted Bony his second just when the visitors were enjoying their best spell of the game.
"The work ethic that we have and the team ethic has always been exceptionally good, but I didn't feel we did as much as we could to stay in the game," said Pearson. "That is probably the biggest disappointment.
"I felt we didn't do enough when we had the ball. And so it becomes a bit of a frustrating day. I know we're much more capable than what we showed."
Pearson confirmed that goalkeeper Ben Hamer will be out for three to four weeks after undergoing surgery on a broken finger which he injured in training on Friday.
Striker Gary Taylor-Fletcher has joined Championship side Sheffield Wednesday on a month-long loan and went on as a substitute in their 0-0 draw with Norwich.
