Bristol City manager Liam Manning said he felt "frustrated" following his side's 1-0 defeat by Swansea on Sunday.
The Robins dominated the game in terms of shots, with 19 to nine from the Swans, and also had the edge in possession statistics.
The loss leaves the Robins three points outside the top six ahead of their game against Stoke on Wednesday night.
"I think when you analyse it, in terms of the control, the team that probably dominated for the longest periods carried the biggest threat, I thought was us. It was literally a five-minute spell that's cost us," Manning said.
"Around that there was a lot of good, albeit the quality in and around the penalty area.
"I just said to the lads [in the changing room], we're not going to change the culture of the club in terms of being a relentless winning machine overnight.
"The progress I think is quite clear to see, it's then learning, understanding, how you turn strong performances into wins. We've managed to do it numerous times this season but weren't able to do it today."
