Laws and Davies see it differently
Forest caught Wednesday cold inside the opening two minutes, first Joe Garner forcing a fine save from Owls goalkeeper Lee Grant and 60 seconds later Dexter Blackstock heading the visitors into the lead.
Wednesday found jet-heeled Forest winger Paul Anderson, who set up both chances plus another in the first period for Blackstock, too hot to handle, but punished the visitors' sloppy finishing just before half-time when Marcus Tudgay volleyed home his fourth goal of the season.
Davies felt his side had done more than enough to warrant only a second win in six league matches.
The former Preston manager said: "We should have taken three points and not only that we should have gone 2-0 up.
"In the second half I thought we created enough to win the match, but it's very difficult to play against that long-ball game.
"They were bashing balls forward constantly. Their keeper kicks the ball a mile and it's difficult to play the type of game we're trying to play against that type of game, but we competed well.
"We should have been more clinical in front of goal, but we deserved everything we got."
Davies revealed Anderson was only in the starting line-up due to the absence of Nathan Tyson, whose wife has given birth to a baby boy, and Polish summer signing Radoslaw Majewski's knee injury.
Davies added: "The two guys were tremendous losses to us, but Paul Anderson came in and grabbed the bull by both horns.
"He showed great pace and appetite and that's how to keep the jersey."
Owls manager Laws was perplexed when told of Davies' description of his side, but agreed his players had been overrun in the opening exchanges.
Laws said: "Their game must be longer because we play a short passing game.
"It was a frustrating afternoon and I don't see where Billy's coming from on that one.
"If he's been watching us he'll have seen we are not a long-ball team."
Wednesday had climbed to eighth in the table after successive league wins over Scunthorpe and Plymouth, but could not find their rhythm.
Laws added: "Forest came here to frustrate us, there's no doubt about that. They frustrated the pants off me.
"They've obviously watched us and said 'if you let them play they're going to hurt you'.
"It was a very frustrating afternoon, not just for the players, but for the supporters to watch that.
"It was stop-start. We even got a multi-ball system to speed the game up, but I felt we had to hand them the ball on a plate to get it back in play, it was so slow.
"But that's their gameplan and they've got something out of it.
"But it also tells us teams aren't going to come here and lie down."
