Paul Lambert is sure the goals will come for Aston Villa if they persist with their current style of football.
Villa are the Premier League's lowest scorers with just 11 in 18 games and into Sunday's game against Sunderland on the back of three games without a win.
But Lambert claimed his side dominated Swansea on Boxing Day and is happy a new approach - with the emphasis on possession - is working.
"If we keep doing what we are doing and take the chances then we will win more games than not," Lambert said. "There will be so many twists and turns throughout the season, but if we keep doing what we've been doing we will be fine.
"There are good players like Joe Cole still to come back and if we get everybody fit then we will certainly, the way we are playing, be a match for teams.
The players are enjoying having a lot of the ball rather than chasing it. It's a new way and hopefully the fans are enjoying it, too.
"It's not for the lack of trying. We play football the right way and I cannot ask for any more, other than the score. We look comfortable, our movement is good and I was pleased with all of that.
"We have changed a lot over the last three weeks or so and the players have grasped it really well. They are enjoying having a lot of the ball rather than chasing it. It's a new way and hopefully the fans are enjoying it too.
"We will keep going with it as it's a way of playing I like to see. The more they do it the better they will get. I think we have found a way that really suits us."
Villa have 20 points, one more than Sunderland, and are five points clear of the bottom three.
Lambert said: "History tells you in years gone by you have to earn the right to stay in the league regardless how big your name is or how big the club is. Take out that top six big clubs and everybody fights like anything to stay in the league.
"Sunderland for some reason have been down there for the past few years but it doesn't matter how big the club is, it's earning the right to stay in it.
"They say get 40 points and see what happens. We have got 20 and last year it took us until January time to get 20, so that's an improvement."
