It should be noted at least one big factor - the BXP withdrawal in Conservative seats - was very much outside their control, and that allegedly kept several winnable seats out of reach.
But yes, the number of winnable Labour seats for the Lib Dems is basically negligible other than Sheffield Hallam. Swinson's seat aside (SNP v. Lib Dem), all the potential Lib Dem gains in a future election under the current map are Conservative seats (and it's generally been that way since the Alliance, I think), so the expansion of the Lib Dems will require the Tories to start losing again.
