Luton Town head coach Nathan Jones was left disappointed with the 0-0 Nottingham Forest stalemate.
The visitors were playing against 10 men after midfielder Jack Colback was sent off in the second half.
Luton had a chance to go in front from the penalty spot, but Elijah Adebayo's effort was saved by Reds keeper Brice Samba.
"They haven’t had a shot on target tonight," Jones told LutonToday.
"Before the sending off we were comfortable, our shape was good, defensively we were good and then we just need to demonstrate a little bit of quality.
"We’re a good side and we’ve shown we’re a good side.
"Now without being disrespectful, we haven’t got the budget to bring in a (Aleksander) Mitrovic, a (Dominic) Solanke, these top players, Harry Wilson’s that can get you something out of nothing nearly every single game.
"So what we’ve got to be is tactically good, work hard, and we are, and we’re a good side, difficult to play against."
"We had 16 shots the other day and three on target, so we’re creating enough, we’re keeping the ball well enough, we’re defending well, our XG (expected goals) is top three, but I’m sick of the numbers," he continued.
"It’s just we’re not demonstrating the quality, then we have a penalty and we miss a penalty. If we score that pen then they have to come out and it could be more.
"We've come here and got a point, which isn’t a bad result at the City Ground considering these are ex-European champions.
"So look, just disappointed as it’s two dropped tonight as we were better."
