I thought we had spells yesterday when we were very good against a Stoke side full of some excellent players.

Diamond did well (some might say he shined ) and at times has a similar swagger when he's on the ball to Sarcevic.

MOM was rightfully awarded to Lewis Bate who is proving to be an excellent signing. Nice to see Will Collar back and in reasonable form. I thought Sam Hughes was impressive when he came on in the second half. Very commanding.

If we can get a few out of the walking wounded out of the treatment room we'll be starting this season with a better squad than we finished with last season. IMHO
