Chelsea put together a run of three wins and one draw prior to the international break, qualifying for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League in the process.
Potter had come under pressure prior to that run, with the Blues winning just two of their last 15 Premier League games at the start of the month.
A 2-2 draw with Everton over the weekend proved to be a disappointment especially after the visitors nicked a last minute equaliser but Potter is looking on the brighter side at Stamford Bridge.
"It's been an intense few weeks," he told the club's website. "We have had a couple of decent weeks. Clearly, we wanted to get the fourth win and go into this break with a victory.
"We have to keep thinking about how we can move forward, and what we have to do better. [The] stability, togetherness [and] spirit in the group has been a real positive over these tough months.
"Before the World Cup, the intensity of the games and the injuries we were picking up was crazy. The transfer window added noise we've got a young group that are falling together well. There's lots still to do."
Chelsea have been paired with Real Madrid in the quarterfinal stage of the Champions League.
