'We've come on loads from last season' - Phillips
Stoke defender Ashley Phillips says the stability at the club this summer has given them the platform for their fast start.
The 20-year-old Tottenham loanee helped Stoke move second in the Championship courtesy of a 0-0 draw at unbeaten leaders Middlesbrough on Tuesday night and told BBC Radio Stoke: "On another day I think we win that.
"I think we started slow but second half did very well and were unlucky not to get the three points, but we'll look back and it's a big point.
"When you're creating that many chances it's a positive sign. It's something to build on and I think the start we've had to this season is very good."
