The Jets failed to even land a shot on target in Saturday's toothless 2-0 defeat to Sydney FC, extending their goal drought to a remarkable 559 minutes.

It was the sixth straight game Miller's men flunked out in front of goal, equalling a record set by New Zealand Knights in the second A-League season.

"Records are there to be broken and we've broken a poor one," a deflated Miller said post-game.

For most of the match, a stubborn Jets outfit refused to lie down against a dominant Sydney FC, and even had a handful of chances in the second half to level the score.

Substitute Mitch Cooper wasted a slicing run through the hosts' defence with a weak effort, while Milos Trifunovic's header also went wide of the posts.

But the former Fulham assistant coach couldn't bring himself to discuss positives after yet another loss that stretched their winless streak to 10 games.

"I dare not use the word positives, because my expectations and the coaching staff, is we need a lot more," Miller said.

"Warranted that the team is playing to their maximum, but sometimes you need an extra effort, especially going down 1-0 at halftime, you need that extra desire, that extra commitment.

"But it's a hard thing, because a lot of the players are playing to their maximum at this point."

Asked whether the club needed an injection of new players via the current transfer window, Miller said it was up to the current players to turn their wretched form around.

"They're all very good players, and they're here for a reason," he said.

"It's our job as coaching staff, to support them.

"It's been challenging for everyone. It's not about being disappointed. We're aware of the run. And it's our responsibility to turn it."
