Former Nottingham Forest midfielder David Prutton has claimed that Harry Toffolo should take set pieces over Morgan Gibbs-White.
The 28-year-old, who has previously been named as the best crosser at the club, has impressed with his final product in recent weeks.
Gibbs-White has struggled with his set-piece delivery so far this campaign, with the 23-year-old not quite matching his performances from last season.
West Ham United midfielder James Ward-Prowse caused Steve Cooper’s side no end of trouble with his delivery – with the Reds needing someone of his ability to deliver from set pieces.
David Prutton on Forest’s set pieces
Speaking on the Garibaldi Red Podcast, the Sky Sports pundit claimed that he feels for Gibbs-White but that a change should be made.
“If he’s taking all of the set pieces and they’re all crap, then you’re immediately thinking he’s rubbish.

“However, if no one else is stepping up to take them, the odds will always be stacked against him.
“If the manager has seen that he’s struggling, get someone else to take the set pieces, but the other question then becomes who’s the next off the rank to be able to do that.”
Journalist Matt Davies, who runs the podcast, claimed that Toffolo would be next in line, to which former Red Prutton agreed.
Toffolo progressing really well
Sunday’s performance was another solid display from the 28-year-old, building on his two assists and clean sheet against Aston Villa.
On and off the pitch, Toffolo is just a great guy – he knows what it means to be a part of the football club, with the defender giving the club his all every time he steps out onto the pitch.
He wasn’t everyone’s favourite player last season, but Toffolo has really progressed this season with his deliveries looking dangerous from the left-hand side.
