That is how the scoreline stayed after 90 minutes. The Wolves equaliser came after Cooper changed to a back five in order to defend all three points.
The stalemate means Forest are 14th in the Premier League table, two points off the bottom three ahead of Tuesday night's game against Leeds United.
Taking to social media after the game, it was a tactical decision that fans didn’t agree with. Here’s what some had to say...
Ryan Bardill : I genuinely don’t know how we get out of this and I don’t think we will. So many chances to kill it and conceded the only shot on target. #nffc
SmegThe Red : Gutted we didn't take 3 points from that. We missed our chances. But we created good chances (keep that up and goals will come), and our positional play was brilliant to control Wolves. Onto the next game with positives hopefully. #nffc
@NottinghamRed99 : First time this season that we’ve been the better side by a distance. Absolutely gutting to drop 2 massive points. Now need to find a way to make up for that in games we wouldn’t expect points from… #nffc
Matthew : Disappointing draw against Wolves, went too defensive too early. Emmanuel Dennis plays well, but is greedy and needs to look up. So many chances were lost today. Forest moved up 2 places in the table but are still 2 points away from relegation. #NFFC
Nick Madge : Didn’t feel like the tactical change was necessary, I was expecting a like for like with Awoniyi. Gave them far too much respect for last 25 mins #NFFC
Karl Martyn : Just reading the timeline and I’m with most people's views, we lost that by going 5 at the back by bringing Worrall on. It’s a must win now Tues.
Nffc Owen : That’s on the players and Cooper. Poor game management, poor decision making, then Cooper going to a back 5 when we were on top baffles me. Subs were poor as well. Awoniyi should have been on earlier. #NFFC
Ash Young : Cooper didn’t hold his nerve in that second half. Bitterly disappointed. 3 points against Leeds is a must now. #NFFC
Peter Blackburn : Obvious disappointment leaving the game, but that's the best I've seen us play for a long time. They didn't show the nerves of a huge occasion, lots of positive performances, and I'm tremendously proud regardless of the result. It isn't over yet. Stick with Cooper. #NFFC
