Real Sociedad manager David Moyes believes his side are making progress after the 1-1 Basque derby draw with Athletic Bilbao.
The former Manchester United boss has now presided over one victory, two draws and a 4-0 defeat at Villarreal, leaving Sociedad in 14th place in La Liga.
While Moyes was quick to highlight the positives of the first half at Anoeta, he expressed concern over fitness levels having seen his side failed to capitalise on the late dismissal of Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte.
The Scot said: "There are a lot of things we want to improve, not just the physical part and the intensity but also the passing and the control of the game.
"I think there were some good signs there, especially in the first half. It was certainly an improvement on our performance at Villarreal and I think we have made a step ahead but we haven't improved enough.
"I think the players are trying really, really hard to do so. The training has been great and I thought their attitude tonight was very good.
"I expected us to be stronger in the second half so that was a little disappointing. But we are in the middle of the season at the moment and we can't change big things."
Sociedad's next outing is Wednesday's King's Cup last-32 second leg home clash with third-tier Real Oviedo, who held the San Sebastian side to a goalless draw in the first leg.
