In my opinion. It was good to see two finishes from open play where our players passed the ball into the net with a bit of style. Our defenders certainly weren't intimidated by the physical Stoke team, unlike last season. I thought there was an improvement in our passing and all round game against two of the Championship's better sides. We're not out of the woods yet, nor anywhere near the finished article. It is good to see we now have decent alternatives to come in from the start once everyone's fit (eg. Sollbauer, Styles, Kane, James).
