Middlesbrough supporters are all saying the same thing at the prospect of facing Forest

Nottingham Forest now know what they have to do against Middlesbrough on Monday night - but Boro fans are not expecting their side to put up much of a fight.

Sabri Lamouchi's side must win at the Riverside to keep pace with Leeds United and Fulham in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Fulham's victory helped them to keep the pressure on Marcelo Bielsa's side with ten games to go in the Championship - and with West Brom now well ahead of the rest of the pack.

But Boro fans, some calling for the axe to be wielded on their boss Jonathan Woodgate, do not seem to be hopeful of a result.

Here is what Middlesbrough fans on the club's OneBoro forum have been saying...

Weasel: Forest can't break down teams who sit back and let Forest attack. It's happened to them so many times this season and that's how we should aim to play, on the counter attack. Maybe we'll somehow fluke a draw or a win cause Forest have been a bit of a charity to s*** teams this season.

RiseSirAxlRose: The climb up the league starts tomorrow.

RiseAgainst: We're going to lose... Given the current form of teams around us, nothing short of wins is good enough now. A 0-0 won't help us.

ManBearPig: If we lose against Forest and he doesn't go, that says everything you need to know.

Rioch'sBraves: Forest will turn us over, and now we're in the bottom 3 this is were the fans will definitely turn on him. Woodgate will get a shock Monday night.

AnglianRed: We're getting nothing from the Forest game. I have looked into my crystal ball and foreseen it... They'll be up on confidence after winning at Cardiff.

ThatOldChestNut: They could always give the players a boost and sack him [Woodgate] between now and the Forest game!

SandDancer: I have not yet come across a person who thinks we will matchforest or why Woody should remain in charge. Today’s the today the coffin lid was lifted in position and the nails made ready.
