Stoke battled back from a goal down at Newcastle to clinch a 2-1 win at St James' Park. Goal scorer Kenwyne Jones headed the second half equaliser after a Kevin Nolan penalty had given the Toon a 43rd minute lead.
James Perch then handed the points to the visitor's with a late own goal.
But Jones is urging his team-mates to stop conceding the first goal and having to battle back to save the game.
The Potters had to come from behind to register their first win of the season against Aston Villa and also clawed back from a goal down in their recent draw with West Ham.
"I think it's a bad habit we need to kick," Jones told Sky Sports 1.
"All of the games this season we didn't start so good in the first half and have had to come on in the second half and try and pull off a victory.
"Hopefully we'll discontinue this habit and start winning the first half."
Asked about his own good form, which has now brought him four goals in as many games, Jones added: "The crosses keep coming in and I'm on hand to put them in.
"Thankfully it's been happening consistently and I hope that continues."
