Picking a player of the season for Nottingham Forest isn’t as straightforward as it once might have seemed.
In recent weeks particularly, as the Reds got over the line and secured Premier League survival, a number of players have made notable (and hugely significant) contributions. Danilo has come into his own, Taiwo Awoniyi has been on the goal trail and Ryan Yates has shown why he was sorely missed while on the sidelines, having been one of the most consistent performers earlier in the campaign. Meanwhile, Felipe has been outstanding since coming into the team after his January arrival.
With Steve Cooper having found a strong and relatively settled starting XI for the run-in, you could arguably go through the team and point to the role all have played. You could also argue a case for a joint-award, given the way Brennan Johnson has taken to the top-flight. Forest would not be in the position they are in - heading to Crystal Palace pressure-free - without the academy graduate. If he comes top of NottinghamshireLive’s poll, there could be no complaints.
