New Stoke City boss Mark Robins said he was pleased with the effort his side produced despite being held to a 0-0 draw by Championship bottom club Plymouth on Saturday.
The Potters dominated possession against managerless Argyle- with 65% of the ball- but out of 18 shots on goal, only hit the target three times.
"There's a lot that we can work on clearly but when you're coming into a third game in a week, whoever you're playing against, it is really difficult," Robins told BBC Radio Stoke.
The draw stretched the Potters' unbeaten run to three games following victory over Sunderland and a hard-fought draw at high-flying Burnley in Ryan Shawcross' short tenure as interim boss, and Robins is keen to focus on the positives.
