Falkirk sit in fourth place, three points off leaders East Fife and, although it is still early in the season, fans are unhappy with performances and results.
McKinnon told the Falkirk Herald: "I don't think we need to turn anything around.
"We need to be more clinical, more relentless and break teams down.

Forfar haven't won in over a month and they too have found scoring difficult with four goals in five league games.
Falkirk midfielder Michael Tidser believes Forfar's style of play may suit the Bairns.
He said: "I've played with a few of the boys and they've got good players.

"On a big pitch that will suit us. We need to make sure we get the ball wide and get bodies into the box and I'm sure we can definitely go and win the game."
Jim Weir's men are sixth, a point behind the Bairns. They've lost four of their last five after a promising Betfred Cup campaign.
He said; “We have three weeks left in the window and I’ll be looking to freshen things up and add something I fell we’re missing just now.

“What we have served up in the last three league games has been really disappointing from my point of view as a manager and for the supporters as well."
