Gary Rowett saluted a battling display despite seeing his Oxford United side slip to a third straight loss with a 3-2 defeat by Coventry.
Oxford twice came from behind to draw level with the Sky Blues in a frantic nine minute period that saw three goals between the two sides, before Coventry's Tatsuhiro Sakamoto scored the winner.
Speaking to BBC Radio Oxford, Rowett said: "It was nice to get back on it a little bit today and look more dangerous and create more chances.
"Even in this recent run of form I look at all the games that have been close and it is little moments."
Despite now failing to win any of their past seven matches in the league, Oxford at least scored their first goals after four games without finding the net.
"I thought we have been incredibly competitive today. You didn't see a team feeling sorry for themselves, we kept going and we kept fighting. Sometimes it comes down to that little bit of quality like their third goal which was an incredible finish," Rowett said.
