Neil McCann has been speaking to the media as Kilmarnock prepare to visit Dundee on Wednesday night (19:45 GMT).
Here are the key points:
McCann believes last Saturday's Falkirk defeat was not a "big setback" but "a disappointment", saying: "Clearly I'm unhappy about the result and probably elements of the performance, but having watched the whole of the weekend's sport, I think every team suffered with the conditions."
Killie have the worst defensive record in the Premiership, leading McCann to "put a few dents in my plasterboard with my head" over the goals they are conceding.
Dundee are a "well coached" team under Steven Pressley and McCann wants his side to be better at the "ugly side" of the game.
He adds: "I'm very honest in what we need to do better. You don't want to lose two, three, four goals. You've just got to find a way of making sure you don't lose the game. If you can pull it all together then you'll get a really dangerous side in your hands. But we're not quite there yet. Everybody's still searching for the perfect performance."
After Dundee it will be time to take stock on the first round of fixtures: "As a staff we have to, but I think more importantly it's for the team, for all the new players coming to either the country or the club, is understanding how the opposition have played."
On summer signings who haven't featured much, such as Mark O'Hara, McCann says: "They've come into a team that's played in a certain way and they've come in and tried to adapt. And when you're trying to find form and wins, its difficult. It's a long season, we're not signing them for a quick spurt of 10 or 11 games, we've signed them for the whole season."
Injury update: "We've got a couple of issues, one or two, but we'll be ready to go tomorrow."
