Ross Stewart insists he never doubted his ability to score goals in the Championship. Stewart was Sunderland's 26-goal top scorer last term, with his finishing powering the club to promotion via the play-offs, and earning him a Scotland call-up.
But the step up to the Championship was another test, and so far it is one that he has passed with flying colours with two goals in his first three appearances - netting the winner in last weekend's victory at Bristol City, followed by the opener in Sunderland's 2-2 draw at home to QPR on Saturday. "It was never really something I was worried about and always felt with my goal return last year I could score at this level," said the 26-year-old, who was a reported target for Scottish giants Rangers over the summer.
"It was nice to get off the mark as quickly as I can and I think there is more to my game than goals. I'm still trying to do my best in terms of linking up and being a threat, it is my first stint at this level as well.
