For Nottingham Forest fans, life under new head coach Ange Postecoglou is developing into a familiar pattern - dominate games, create lots of chances but ultimately fail to get the win.
That pattern has resulted in Postecoglou enduring a dreadful run since his appointment on 9 September, with Saturday's loss to Sunderland in his first home game in charge their fifth game without a victory.
It is far from ideal for the Australian, particularly as even he recognised that his appointment was hardly "love at first sight" as far many Forest fans were concerned.
Those supporters who questioned the decision to replace Nuno Espirito Santo with Postecoglou will not have had their fears allayed by Forest only taking one point from games against two newly promoted teams - a 1-1 draw at Burnley on 20 September.
To underline their goal issues, Forest's two matches against Burnley and Sunderland brought a combined total of 39 efforts, but they only scored once.
"We are just not ruthless enough turning the dominance we have into wins," Postecoglou said after the Sunderland loss.
"From our perspective, that's for me to sort. The players have the right mindset and clear heads. A lot has happened over the last three and a half weeks.
"I have been stressing we can't dwell on whatever changes we are making and to be fair the players are embracing it.
"It is up to me to turn dominance into wins."
