Frustrated Middlesbrough boss Jonathan Woodgate lamented his misfiring side's lack of killer instinct and the former Toon skipper fears for his future.
Striker Ashley Fletcher missed an open goal for the visitors at Huddersfield, who have still not won away all season.
Boro have also not won for a month and the Teessiders have won just twice in 14 games in all competitions under Woodgate.
"We were the better team all game, but we should have scored," said Woodgate. "I thought we had the majority of the chances.
"I thought we deserved to win the game, we controlled the game with how we pressed. We deserved the victory, I think we'd all say the same.
"It's just about getting a goal but we're creating chances to score goals, which was a big thing for me.
"The performance was very, very good. My players are giving performances, the last two games they have been terrific.
"All we need to do is put our chances away, we had two blinders tonight and didn't take them.
"We've come up against Premier League players, so it was always going to be a tough game. But I thought we were the best team."
Woodgate's side have not won in their last six matches, but the former England defender stressed: "We'll get there, we'll keep working hard and it will turn. I truly believe that.
"We could have had goals, but I'll back my players. I'll stick by my players through thick and thin.
"We defended a lot better and we pressed a lot better, but sometimes that's how it goes.
"I can't fault my players apart from putting the ball in the back of the net. Unfortunately that's what wins you football matches."
