Cornish Pirates joint-head coach Gavin Cattle says his side's poor start to the season is "not disastrous".
The Pirates have lost their first two matches in the Champ - going down 26-21 at Ampthill on Saturday, having been beaten 22-21 at home by Hartpury on the opening weekend of the season.
But they have taken losing bonus points from both of their opening two games and face Doncaster next week.
"We obviously don't set out to be slow starters, but it's always around cohesion, getting new combinations up to speed," Cattle told BBC Radio Cornwall.
"You can see the disappointment and the want to get better, we've just got to care for each other and just keep looking forwards, keep improving.
"They're one-score games, they're not disastrous, so we've just got to keep believing that we'll be on the other side of those.
"We've got to have that effort we showed, but we've got to get better at the execution side of things."
