Head coach Steve Cooper believes Nottingham Forest are showing signs of progress, as they try to find the right balance between defence and attack.
The Reds have tightened up at the back in recent games. And keeping a clean-sheet to earn a point at Brighton and Hove Albion was another important step.
The next challenge is to find a way of offering more at the opposite end of the pitch without losing that solidity, having registered just three shots on goal at the Amex Stadium - none of which were on target.
