"It's not the end of the world that we've lost 1-0 after 13 games," he said. "This is the second defeat in 30 league games.
"I just hope to have the same run in the games to come. There are 25 to play now.
"We knew at some stage we would lose a game, and it's done. Let's make it an opportunity to show strength and get back to our best for the next game.
"But I think on the day we were not as good as we can be - we have to admit that. We had some good spells, but too rarely in my view to produce a result."
