Against Fulham, Nottingham Forest failed to find the net in a Premier League game for the 14th time in 30 outings this season.
They had the better chances in a goalless draw, while they could have had a second-half penalty and scored the opening goal had substitute Dan Ndoye not strayed narrowly offside on two occasions.
Forest full-back Ola Aina, who hit the crossbar in the second period, told BBC Sport: “Like in many other games, we’re creating good chances but it’s just not working right now.
“Hopefully in the games to come, those chances go in.
“We’ve got quality and the spirit to [change the team’s luck in front of goal]. Honestly, I just think it’s the rub of the green that’s not going for us.
“We’ve just got to keep believing in what we’re doing and ultimately in each other, because we’re the ones that are going to turn it round.”
Forest will look to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with Danish side Midtjylland on Thursday, but also on the horizon is a huge league game at Tottenham on 22 March.
Forest boss Vitor Pereira said the game against Spurs is “very, very important”, adding: “We are in a position that we need to go there to compete for three points.”
