Bloody great. Did not get to know about this and so missed it. I had to watch Switzerland v Serbia in some international competition in the Middle East. I could have been watching Forest Reserves instead. š¤Ŗ

I think with the right signings in January, we will have a strong second half to the season. With Stoke it's always a case of the proverbial "jam tomorrow".

After the dismal summer friendlies against lesser opponents under MoN, that result can only be seen as a positive. To translate it into the games that count is the requirement, now.

No I think they do actually Iām just not convince Neil has the where with all to turn us round You donāt see this as a positive thing then, even though youād 100% have taken it as a negative if weād lost. Of course itās a positive but Iām forming an overall view on Neilās Impact or lack of it on the evidence so far december will be very telling so letās hope the break made a difference

Good highlights. Dominated it. Even from a Forest perspective, they couldn't edit it more favourably. The finishing is another story.

Appreciate that Starkiller. Anywhere Stoke can manage at least 1 more point than the opponent is a positive, in my book. Even if it's in a workout on a neutral pitch. That's a habit that we need to develop. That was cute by Tyrese in that scrum with the little side-boot! Nice awareness of where he was relative to goal. But Man! Do we miss chances!! Just a workout for 'em, didn't see anyone writhing in pain - there's another positive.
I won't imitate my retarded countryman (Who somehow found himself in possession of a drum) and pound the keyboard on a "piss the league" thread, but... Yeah, that felt good to watch.
Was actually dreading seeing what would happen the next time they took a pitch. This relieved some of that. Looked like they dominated the Forest reserves or whatever tier they were. I wouldn't have bet money on that 2 weeks ago. Ah but who am I kidding? Smart move with the venue - showing off in front of the college-girls. Hope they all get out of there without being arrested.
It still felt good to watch.

Seemed a very decent set up / facility at Loughborough uni .. , training pitch next to main , floodlights fine , Stokies were even given a separate dedicated onsite multi story car park a very short walk away, tho they did restrict us to L shaped section of terracing on the side & behind the goal with offsite porta loos .. with the rest of the ground including the seats reserved for Forest fans ( think a handful of Stokies were in the seats )
But all appeared to be very well organised , with friendly stewards and a bit of an eye opener to some of the sports facilities that exist in this country , but are seldom seen by the majority
I see todays final u21 central league cup group game has been changed to BBD.. with the proposed 1st team BCD game on Saturday being cancelled, I wonder if some 1st team players will get an additional run out today
