Forest started with Dele Adebola and David McGoldrick up front, with Joe Garner playing on the right flank.
Nathan Tyson and Robert Earnshaw were both brought off the bench, with Dexter Blackstock still to come in when he recovers from a minor knock.
"I don't think anyone can accuse us of not playing attacking players. We had plenty of strikers on the pitch and plenty of opportunities," said Davies.
"We have such a threat. The difference with the players we have got now – with the ones we are able to bring on, as well as start with – is superb.
"But, at the same time, without me going on about it, the balance of the team is not right."
In the meantime, Davies remains frustrated at Forest's failure to land any one of three defensive targets over the past few months – and is now privately concerned at what kind of players are left on the market.
"We will now look at our options and see what we can find," said Davies. "But there is a danger that we will only go and pick somebody else's problem up. We have been saying the same thing for weeks and weeks.
"This situation was there for everyone to see. I am very disappointed with the position we now find ourselves in.
"Kelvin Wilson has an ankle problem. Now to lose Chambers with the personnel we have got – well, I hate to say I told you so".
Billy.... we have the opposite problem.
IDEA: You give us Earnshaw, and you can have Fitz Hall.
