Our defence didn't come under as much scrutiny at Championship level because of the pressure we applied at the other end of the pitch.

When teams had the temerity to attack we were often found wanting. We had an upper half Championship defence which didn't always compete with lower half Championship forwards.
For me a major part of last season's defensive failings was what was immediately in front of them. Sawyers and Livermore.
