I'm having real trouble keeping clean sheets!
I'm about 12 competitive games into a season with Forest, and I'm yet to lose a game, however I've kept 3 clean sheets in 12 games.
This results in a lot of draws, even in games I dominate in terms of chances because I pretty much always concede at least one.
Any tips for keeping it tight at the back? I'm playing 4231 and have a pretty good defensive line for the league I'm in.

As you can see from the table, goals against are very much the problem. Joint highest scorers in the league but leakiest defence in the top half of the table.

The main problem looks like the lack of protection from the midfield for the two centre backs. "The BWM's main function is to close down the opposition and win the ball" - from the tactics creator. The BWM, even on defend duty, chases after the ball, leaving his position in midfield. Try him as a CM-D, have a look at the description in the TC, the CM-D description sounds just like what you're looking for.

Even so you can make the CAM play more from deeper role to add extra to the midfield as a possible tweak, bare in mind each formation change takes time to train so make sure in training that the match tactics is getting done for the team.
Personally i have 3 tactics, to select from depending on whom i face next also the players i have available to select can make forced changes.

Is it possible your fullbacks simply aren't that good defensively? Maybe the "look for overlap" instruction is making them make more attacking runs so they're getting caught out more frequently than you'd expect for a FB with support duty.
