Speaking about the start to the season the boss is hoping to put things right next Tuesday in the live Sky game.
"It was a tough start," Johnson told Sky Sports News. "We won our first game and I thought everything was going well.
"Unfortunately, we had two difficult away games against Bradford and Huddersfield, and that didn't quite work out.
"Then we got beat at home to Blackpool, who played well on the day.
"It's always difficult when you have got to live up to a 'favourite tag' and, at the moment, we're not quite coping with that.
"I'm relatively confident after our defeat at Cheltenham in the Carling Cup that we've turned the corner a little bit.
"We're looking forward to our Sky game next Tuesday against Northampton, and hopefully we can put it right very quickly."
