Danny Wilson spoke to media shortly after watching his Town side go down 2-1 to MK Dons at stadiumMK.
The manager was frustrated to have seen his side gift the hosts two first half goals - a start from which they struggled to recover.
"We haven't started the game as I know we can, and that's what's annoying," he said.
"The players have let themselves down in certain areas tonight which is the disappointing thing.
"But they wouldn't be at the club if they were making mistakes every week so we've got to give them the benefit of the doubt and move on from it."
Two defensive lapses contributed heavily to Town's two goals conceded, with Sean Morrison being caught in possession shortly before The Dons' first, and James Tunnicliffe being given space to head home the second inside the box, and Wilson admitted there is work to be done to eradicate such fatal errors.

He said: "Now we've got to get back to the basic rudiments of defending which we didn't do tonight.
"We drill it into them again, we drill it into them again and then we drill it into them again from now on because we've got some massive games coming up."
To the surprise of some, Gordon Greer and Charlie Austin were replaced by Sean Morrison and Vincent Pericard in the starting line up, and Wilson outlined his reasons for the changes in selection, saying: "We've got a squad of players who are chomping at the bit to play, and both Sean and Vincent were ready for a game."
"We thought both of the lads who didn't play tonight could do with a bit of a breather because there is a lot of pressure on them all the time as captain and centre forward.
"We've got a squad that we have to utilise as best we can, and we know with the games we've got coming up in the next few weeks we're going to need everyone at their best."

"Maybe it was right or wrong to do it, and many people will see the result and turn round and say it was wrong.
"But at the same time it wouldn't bother me to take the risk again because I think it was the right thing to do."
And the manager concluded that, while disappointed that his side could not illustrate their strength in depth as he would have liked, he is confident they will respond positively before the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.
"We thought that this was a game where we could really show what we were made of but unfortunately it hasn't worked out that way," he said.
"But we will pick ourselves up for another big game at Brighton this weekend and hopefully give an improved performance and get back on track."
