'I'd be very happy to be wrong': Middlesbrough fans react to Britt Assombalonga recall as Neil Warnock makes three changes to face Nottingham Forest

Boro were beaten 1-0 by Birmingham on Saturday and Warnock has called for a reaction from his players at the City Ground.

Jonny Howson, Duncan Watmore and Britt Assombalonga have all returned to the starting XI with Lewis Wing, Marvin Johnson and Chuba Akpom dropping to the bench.

Assombalonga will be hoping to score his first goal against his former side Forest, the club he joined Boro from in the summer of 2017.

Here’s how some supporters reacted to the team news on social media:

@wanaldinho: I like that line up I do indeed come on boro let's go out there and smash it lads UTB

@JackGarratt95: Will Britt finally score against forest

@MFC_Brad: Cmon Britt, prove them wrong

@guvpaul1: Probably the strongest line up he could make

@HazelClay: Decent side but Britt never scores against Forest!

@matty_carson: Hope I eat my words but why is Britt starting against Nottingham, he never scores against them

@Juninmoon: Well that’s as strong as we’ve got!

@TomasWilliamson: Britt usually useless against Forest, be very happy to be wrong later

@DannyGuitar91: Tav should be in the middle instead of Morsy and Johnson on the left.

@JordanDaniels_1: Britt would have been a starter for me against Birmingham as he usually plays poorly against Forest, but hopefully not tonight. In need of three points tonight after Saturday and tough games to come.
