Warriors lost friendly games against Zebre in Parma and then at home to Connacht and although Warriors were able to give game time to new signings and younger players there was annoyance in the squad.
"You absolutely do [get annoyed], 100 percent," said Tom Jordan in The Scotsman. "You're a professional athlete who's always striving to be the best, so it's always a little bit disappointing when you don't get the result.
"I think we definitely stepped up from last week, just in terms of clarity and definitely the accuracy was increased as well. The silver lining is that it's pre-season and that's what it's for.
"It's for trying different things, different combinations, trying to work on some things, and you've got the freedom of playing a little bit looser. We can narrow our focus come the start of the URC."
In a number of interviews Glasgow players have said that, as URC champions, they accept there will be a target on their backs this season, something Jordan also touched upon.
"I think the opposition are going to target us way more," he added. "Last year we were definitely more under the radar. But when you go up against the top teams, you know they're the top team, you're going to prep harder, you're going to have that chip on your shoulder going into the games.
"Now we've got that, I guess, luxury that we're the ones everyone wants to knock off, so even in the pre-season they're going to come pretty hard to beat us, so fair play to Connacht.
"That's going to be our theme for the season, every team's going to want to come and smash us up, so I think it's important that we just get our mindset right and just take the learnings and then just rip into the first game and get all that rust and stuff out of the system.
"We were probably a little bit slow which ultimately is going to affect your attack and defence, and you probably saw that in the first half. We were just not physical enough to stop their carries."
Jordan started at inside centre in both games but doesn't know if that's where he'll play when the real stuff gets underway.
"I enjoyed playing 12, it was good to mix it up with a few different calls," he added. "Franco hasn't said much about my role - I think it will be the same as last season, when I played a few games at 12."
