Cooper’s team appears to be lacking in the left-back position, with Ola Aina and Nuno Tavares out injured and Niakhate serving his ban.
Toffolo, a former Huddersfield player, was solid when given his chance, even assisting Nicolas Dominguez’s inch-perfect header.
Harry Toffolo is a professional model.
Although he’s struggled for consistent game time at the City Ground, Toffolo has been the model professional.
Not once has he publicly complained about his lack of minutes, instead he puts in a shift to stake his claim for a starting position as he did against Brentford last Sunday.
Every time he puts on the colours of Forest, he gives 100% and from a fan’s perspective that is all you can ask for from a player representing your club.
Toffolo should start against Palace.
Speaking after his impact in the Brentford game last weekend, Toffolo admitted that it’s important he makes an impact in any way possible for the club.
“I believe it is critical for myself and other players to come off the bench and make an impact like we did.”
“It just goes to show how deep we are; these are players who haven’t been on the team and are still coming in to help.” It demonstrates the group’s cohesiveness.”
He obviously has the attitude to be a success at the club, as evidenced by his cameo against the Bees.
With the present injury situation ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park, Toffolo deserves to start and perhaps build on his cameo from last Sunday.
