Is he only on a contract for this season?
Forest Green Reject!
He is a far better left baxk than OP gives him credit for imo
He's an example of what rough diamonds are to be uncovered in non-league football - I'd really like for TM to delve a bit and find a striker from non-league, 'cos aside from Arma, his signings of strikers have been a tad unfruitful.
I like the idea of Fortune as a different option to throw on if we need to go more direct but feel he's being used as a square peg in a round hole at times. What other strikers has Mowbray signed? Isn't it just him and Armstrong?

stokes always had a decent game in him, but whwen he first came he had a tendency to let people double up on him and get round the back of him
so far this season ive seen that happen once, most improved player, wasnt there yesterday, but have to say, he was a rock at CB last week too, i would play him there for rest of season myself
we've let in 6 goals in last 9 games
have to say, TM has adjusted us slightly to accom no defense. actually thought we wouldnt see another hammering this season, then crewe happened
honestly cant say what will happen from here in, but its gonna be emotional
can we say , in reality, that we are the best team in the division? i havent seen one as good as us all year
I don't know how reliable this information is but i heard that before we signed stokes, he was verging on having to get a full time job and play football at the same time because he wasn't earning enough to pay his house + bills etc. So knowing that we gave him a chance to start his career again and become a full time footballer, he's forever grateful to this club and so he give 100% week in week out and is fully committed as ever.
A paragraph on Stokes in the book 'The Nowhere Men' a book out last year on scouts & guy at Millwall was looking for a LB and was sent to see Stokes at Forest Green but said he drifted inside too much for a LB and they didn't follow up their interest in him.
Is that book any good? The journey man sounds a good read too.

not quite full story, just something that stokesy said in interview.I don't know how reliable this information is but i heard that before we signed stokes, he was verging on having to get a full time job and play football at the same time because he wasn't earning enough to pay his house + bills etc. So knowing that we gave him a chance to start his career again and become a full time footballer, he's forever grateful to this club and so he give 100% week in week out and is fully committed as ever.
you should have read on, the scout also said in time stokes would turn out to be a good centre half. when they would renew there interest. HA Ha. sorry Millwall too late.A paragraph on Stokes in the book 'The Nowhere Men' a book out last year on scouts & guy at Millwall was looking for a LB and was sent to see Stokes at Forest Green but said he drifted inside too much for a LB and they didn't follow up their interest in him.
