Despite the U23s suffering a last minute equaliser in their 3-3 draw with Doncaster Rovers today, Stone has plenty of praise for his squad, after a successful training ground work-out.
The Clarets were cruising and were 2-0 up just 27 minutes in, thanks to goals from strikers Lewis Richardson and Rob Harker.
Despite Rovers pulling one back, Josh Benson grabbed Burnley's third just moments the break, before the hosts had their second in a five-goal thriller first-half at Doncaster's training ground.
And although the Yorkshire side snatched a last minute equaliser from a free-kick, Stone was pleased overall with the team's effort and explained it was a different experience for his youngsters.
