Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder says his side must not celebrate too much since going top of the Premiership table.
Mallinder wants to see more improvement following their 30-22 victory against Harlequins at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday afternoon.
Saints earned a third successive bonus-point victory and their fourth win in a row. This is an amazing turnaround since the opening-day defeat to Saracens at Twickenham.
Mallinder told northamptonchron.co.uk: "It's a nice place to be but we won't be satisfied with that because it's just a position.
"But we've won four on the bounce, it's another bonus point and it's good.
"We've got lots of things to work on because that's not championship-winning form, but it was winning form, which was good."
Mallinder says they must keep moving forward as they prepare for a trip to face Gloucester at Kingsholm next Saturday.
"We went out to a bit of a lead, thought we had a grip on the game, they weren't really in our half and then they got an interception and suddenly they were back in it," Mallinder said.
"We had to work hard to get ahead and we never really got that far ahead. They scored just before half-time (through Jamie Roberts).
"Some of our receiving from kick-off needs to be looked at because every time they kicked to us we seemed to lose the ball and they seemed to score so that's an obvious point where we can improve.
"We talked about them liking a loose, fast game and we just gave them a bit too much today."
