For me a major part of last season's defensive failings was what was immediately in front of them. Sawyers and Livermore.

Fair comment, I don't think they were always helped by what was behind them either to be honest.

Equally I doubt they'd have faired much better with the majority of Championship midfielders in front of them.

They're not hopeless, I just don't think they're good enough to be described as 'very competitive' as a Championship unit when they very often weren't.

We're going to need at least one centre half, a better right back and preferably some extra competition at left back.
