Brighton and Hove Albion's recent impotence came to the fore again last night (Tuesday) during a frustrating goalless draw against Nottingham Forest at the Amex.
It means new manager Roberto De Zerbi has picked up only two points from his first four matches in charge.
The result also saw Forest move off the foot of the table.
Despite creating a slew of openings, Albion were unable to breach their opponents backline for the third consecutive match, with fans growing increasingly frustrated.

Leandro Trossard clipped the bar and visiting goalkeeper Dean Henderson was called upon to make six saves during the 90 minutes — the pick of which came late on to deny Pascal Gross.
This was the Seagulls' 16th 0-0 result since the start of the 19/20 season — the most of any Premier League side in that period.
It also means they have failed to score with their last 54 shots on goal.
Forest took 59 minutes to register a shot or even have a touch in Brighton's penalty box, but it was another improved defensive showing with a point lifting them off the bottom of the table.

Brighton Star Man — Lewis Dunk
The club captain continues to impress with the World Cup on the horizon, surely deserving a slot in Gareth Southgate's England squad ahead of the likes of error prone duo Harry Maguire and Tyrone Mings.
He was his usual composed self and effective on set-pieces in both penalty areas.
