Leeds United suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat at the hands of QPR on Saturday, meaning they have still won just once since the 10th of December.
The Whites have not won in London since December 2017 and you would understand if fans of the Yorkshire club are starting to feel as if luck is against them in the nation's capital.
At the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Saturday, QPR's decisive goal appeared to hit both of Nahki Wells' arms before dropping to him to calmly slot into the back of the net.
It was a bad afternoon for the Whites in general, with Kalvin Phillips shown a straight red card for an ugly challenge in the closing stages and Patrick Bamford looking far from impressive in front of goal.
The 26-year-old missed a penalty on Saturday and has now gone five games without scoring for the Whites.
But how was his all-round display? We put a spotlight on his performance against QPR to examine just that.
With Eddie Nketiah no longer at the club, Bamford is currently the only striking option available to Marcelo Bielsa–as Tyler Roberts is injured and Ryan Edmondson doesn't seem to be deemed good enough.
The 26-year-old is Leeds' top scorer this season, having found the net 10 times in the Championship, but appears to be something of a streaky forward–having suffered a 10-game drought earlier in the campaign.
The goals have dried up for Bamford once again, something which hamstrung his side on Saturday.
With no other option in the matchday squad, the striker played all 98 minutes for Leeds but was unable to put the ball in the back of the net.
He had his opportunities, too–Bamford's expected goals rating of 1.62 is reflective of the number of good chances he failed to capitalise on.

Including his weak penalty, which was tipped around the post by Liam Kelly, the 26-year-old took seven shots in total but hit the target only twice and forced only two saves out of the QPR shot-stopper.
His ineffectiveness for the Whites was not just in front of goal, however, as Bamford won just one of seven offensive duels in the game and made a total of three successful passes.
Bamford does do a lot of work off the ball but he struggled to make much of an impact in that area either–winning one defensive duel and making no interceptions, no recoveries or clearances.
It is his lack of goals, and that missed penalty, which impacted Leeds most on Saturday but his whole performance seemed off. For me, Bamford has been unfairly criticised at points this season but the lack of forward options is a clear problem for Leeds and one that was outlined by his display in West London
You feel it is imperative that the Whites sign some cover or competition for him in January because they can't afford for him to have more of these performances without an option on the bench.
