Tony Pulis blamed Albion's goal-shy forwards after the Baggies 1-0 defeat to Southampton.
Albion fell behind in the 25th minute when Jordy Claise fired home from the edge of the area.
The Baggies then wasted several chances to equalise after facing an in-form Fraser Forster.
"We created better opportunities in the second half and as the game went on we controlled the last 25 minutes and I felt we did enough to get something out of the game," said Pulis.
Albion's blank in front of goal means it's now more than 270 minutes since the Baggies last found the back of the net.
Pulis added: "It is disappointing considering the chances were there, especially in the second half. We have had 35 shots over the last two games. We need to have more composure and steadiness in front of goal. But I can't fault my players today, over the last 25 minutes they showed their mettle and kept going."
