Steve Cooper says he's disappointed with Forest's first half performance at Molineux as The Reds were beaten 1-0 in the West Midlands.
The sides went in level at the break and although Dean Henderson wasn't troubled on many occassions, Cooper wanted his side to pose more of a threat in attacking areas against a Wolves side in similar form ahead of today's clash.
Wolves took the lead through Ruben Neves' penalty before Brennan Johnson saw a spot-kick of his own saved by Jose Sá as The Reds came up short in their attempt to find an equaliser.
"We're disappointed with the result and I didn't like us with the ball in the first half, we did OK defensively and we knew Wolves would have spells of possession but we didn't let them in on many occassions," said Cooper.
"With the ball we didn't show enough bravery or responsibility in wanting to try and work our way up the pitch and get some momentum in the game. The message at half time was defensively we were good but we feel we could've made more of the opportunities on the turn over and make more passes.
"Unfortunately, we go 1-0 down with the penalty and we played some better football after that and worked our way into good areas. We had the chance with the penalty and Yatesy's header but it should have been like that from the start.
"The plan was to be a good defensive unit, but we also know that Wolves can give you the opportunity to play football and to not be able to do that as well as we wanted is frustrating.
"We're trying to improve every day and stick to what we believe is going to be the right way to go and we're navigating our way through to that. The players will want to take responsibility aswell and they'll be frustrated with the first half performance.
"We know what it takes to recover and prepare ahead of Tuesday's game against Brighton and that's what we'll do."
