Treviso coach left feeling unhappy with a draw
Ospreys director of rugby Scott Johnson was determined to focus on the positives after his side's late escape against Benetton Treviso in Pool Five of the Heineken Cup.
The Welsh region needed a late penalty from young replacement Matthew Morgan to grab a 26-26 draw in Italy.
"I'm very disappointed with our display, and I'm very disappointed with our skill set," he admitted.
"Did we want four or five points? Yes of course we did. But will I settle for two? Well I'll certainly settle for two before one, or even none.
"It wasn't perfection but our destiny is still in our own hands, and that's not a bad thing."
In the end, it was a game that Treviso should really have won, a point not lost on their coach Franco Smith.
"After our performance last week against Saracens, I was really worried about this game and I can't believe I'm unhappy with a draw," he said.
Chance
"It was definitely two points lost rather than two points gained. We had a chance today to win this game, but we threw it away."
Treviso remain rooted to the bottom of the pool but Johnson is confident that the Italian club will still have a major part to play in deciding who progresses to the quarter-finals.
"Maybe we're not giving enough credit to Treviso," he added. "Their form has been pretty good, and it's not all that long since they put 50 points on the Newport Gwent Dragons.
"I'm hopeful that other sides will under-rate their quality. They can still have major say in the fate of this group."
