Stoke City's veteran midfielder Steven Nzonzi told BBC Radio Stoke the Potters are being held back by their inability to find the net after the 1-0 defeat at Charlton. It was their 13th Championship blank of the season.
"I don't think it was a bad game overall. We just conceded that goal and we couldn't score.
"Of course we have to do much better on the goal but then offensively as a team, we have to do much, much better. If you want to win games, you have to score goals.
"We are competitive players, we are a competitive team, we are a competitive club and obviously when you lose you have to be disappointed.
"But the season is not finished, you have to keep working hard and keep training hard and trying to get some points. We have to go and try and win as much as we can and try to play freely."
