Rattled Bournemouth feeling the tension after Nottingham Forest 'worry'

Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest are set for a thrilling end to the Championship season with the race for promotion to the Premier League still in the balance.

The Reds are giving chase to the Cherries in the race to finish the second after Steve Cooper's side reduced the gap to three points with three games remaining after last night's win at Fulham.

Scott Parker's side showed incredible powers of recovery on the same night as they came back from 3-0 down to secure a 3-3 draw away at Swansea.

The race for second place could well be settled in the game between Forest and Bournemouth next Tuesday in what is one of the most anticipated games of the season. Bournemouth's form has hardly been convincing in recent weeks having picked up just one win in their last five games and the fans are certainly feeling the heat from Forest's incredible form. Here's what they had to say on social media.

AFCB Worn: "When you look at Forest run in it’s favoured for them now, long way to go I know and a win Saturday would make it ours to lose."

Big Fat Olly: "Having doubts about autos now for the first time, Forest in such great form that I really think we have to win the remaining three, or win two and draw with them. Too many draws recently has put us here."

Kirk Tovey: "Should we expect anything than the hard way with #afcb. I worry about the message being driven into the team not to lose at Blackburn & vs Forest as we seem to struggle with strict structure. Why does Steve Cook have to still be a bloody good defender."

Tom: "Worst case scenario Forest can go above us Saturday. We lose and they win. For me it's vital we go into Tuesday with it in our hands. Knowing that as long as we don't lose to them it's all in our hands on the final day."

Mike Brannan: "Regrettably, I think Forest will win their remaining games."

Matthew Adams: "Good job Kieffer Moore knows where the back of the net is but that’s still 2 points dropped, could have won it at the death. Unfortunately, Steve Cook had a blinder tonight for Forest so it’s in the balance now."

Sam Poulter: "Stuttering.... struggling. Where was that before going 3 nil down. Still proud of the comeback, but Forest are breathing down our necks. Must. Start. Winning."
