    Stoker has class and guile, always did. I am glad to see him get the credit that he is due. He is doing well on the left but i have to agree that he is best as a second striker to a goalscorer. Very underrated.

    His stats since he signed are now:

    4th most prolific assister in the last 16 seasons just behind Larsson, Lubo and Thompson.

    His best season with us by far. First time I've really been glad he's playing, has a great understanding with Izzy and a lot less greedy.

    Out of interest how many assists did McGeady and Naka have for us? I find it hard to believe Stokes has more than McGeady especially..

    Peach of a left foot cross for Griffiths.

    Links very well with Emilio, couple of lovely flicks and back heels.

    That for me shows that anyone who slates Stokes simply doesn't have a clue about football.

    He played a great pass with his left foot as well, think it was to Johansen, Stokes was near the left back position and Johansen in attacking midfield.

    please tell me he was just rested today?

    He is * vital to the way we play. we are half the team we should be without him.

    Him and Lustig will rip the new team to shreds next week.

    He and Johansen were probably rested as Stokes just came from an minor injury and played one game and Johansen had a wee knock from lat game if I remember correctly. Not wanting to start both against the huns would be criminal.

    I'm sure Ronny said before the game he was just taking pre cautions in resting Stokes and Johansen. They both are some of the first names on the team sheet for next week so I can understand his thinking.

    Johansen wasn't rested, he took a peach against Motherwell that required stitches in his heid.
