Alex Pritchard believes it's been a positive start to life back in the Championship after promotion last season. The Sunderland playmaker took pride in the support from fans last season for sticking with them and helping them over the line in an unbeaten run that culminated in promotion.
The Wearsiders have competed with the top sides in the division since their return to the second tier, including against Burnley last weekend. The Clarets came from behind to take all three points at the Stadium of Light, despite a blistering start from Sunderland to take a 2-0 lead.
Pritchard says the players know they need to improve with last weekend's performance not good enough. But believes it's been a good start to life in the Championship after a four year absence.
