Forest manager Steve Cotterill was slightly aggrieved his side could not claim a share of the spoils following their 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough.
Boro looked to be firmly on course for their first npower Championship victory of 2012 when Marvin Emnes' deflected effort and Lukas Jutkiewicz's 20-yard strike immediately before and after half-time gave them a two-goal cushion.
From seemingly out of nowhere though, Joel Lynch's 66th-minute header halved the deficit and Forest, whose cause was further helped when Kevin Thomson was sent off for two bookable offences 15 minutes from time, were denied by the crossbar when Adlenea Guedioura's superb 30-yard effort came back off the woodwork.
Cotterill said: "We've given away two sloppy goals and we're disappointed with the goals, but we deserved something out of the game for sure.
"We conceded at awful times, but still created enough chances - even at 2-0 down - to come back and win the game.
"Obviously later on, when you've got the last 15-20 minutes or so and you're playing against 10 men, you're going to create more. We still created three or four chances in the first half to score and didn't."
