Exeter director of football Steve Perryman has bemoaned the lack of cutting edge shown by the side against Bournemouth.
The Grecians lost 2-0 to leave themselves just two points above the relegation zone and Perryman felt a goal never looked likely.
"We didn't quite look like we had it in us. There were encouraging signs, but it was just one of those nights when we didn't look like we were going to score," he told BBC Radio Devon.
It was the fourth successive game in which Paul Tisdale's men have failed to score. However, Perryman has urged everyone at the club to continue battling against relegation and is hoping their luck will turn.
"We've got to keep going, everyone's disappointed, but within your disappointment what can you do? You can't pack up, you can't give up, you have to go into the next game and keep going for it and keep working.
"You just keep trying to improve and working hard and you're just looking for a little something to turn your way."
