Jack Ross was left frustrated after his Hibernian side were held at home to Livingston.
The Easter Road club went ahead through Christian Doidge before Aaron Taylor-Sinclair levelled things up for the visitors.
Hibs were also left to rue Scott Allan's missed penalty before the break, and Ross admits there was a feeling of 'what could have been' after failing to grab victory.
A victory would have taken the hosts above their visitors in the Ladbrokes Premiership into fifth and, with Aberdeen losing and Motherwell drawing, he admitted it could have been a better day's work.
He said: "It was a frustrating afternoon for us, not because it's a draw but because of the way the draw came around. Having given ourselves a chance to go ahead in the game that we didn't take, and then going ahead and being pegged back.
"I don't think we were great today but I still think we dominated most of the ball and most of the territory and when you add that in it's frustrating we don't take more from the game.
"But not so long long ago we were talking about earning points to get us out of trouble, now it's about earning points because we want to finish third. That's the positive sign, that's where discussions are around for us.
"I tend not to get too worried about other results because the frustration is because of our performance and result.
"That's what I look at first and foremost because it's the only thing we can affect and try to control.
"The other results add to that a little bit because of the way the draw came about."
