Errrr no, I think that was more down to a certain goalkeeper now plying his trade in the West Midlands, and is another player who is probably rueing a decision he made at the end of last season!
Plus, Pritchard obviously thought he would be back playing Premier League football more quickly by joining Norwich, than he would with the Albion.
Understandable from his point of view perhaps, with Norwich having only just been relegated.
