The result makes it four points from two away games this week for Billy Davies and his side, whose start to the season is now a real glass half-full or half-empty one.
Forest lie 17th in the Championship after seven games with only one win but equally they have suffered just a single defeat.
Upcoming home games against Swansea and Sheffield United will give a clearer picture as to whether last season's play-off place can be achieved again but Davies was in upbeat mood after the game.
"I'm not concerned about the number of draws so far," said the Scot.
"We just need to be a bit more clinical."
