The defence was not great, but a combination of greater attack, teams parking the bus, and quite frankly a much lower level of quality in the final third was the difference.

Having thr second best defence was clearly a fallacy.

In the comparison with Wrexham, they made some key signings when entering the league, signing a premier league goalkeeper and a championship defender and yet another forward from leagues higher. They like us realised quickly (also conceding 5 on the opening day) that their back line was not good enough, but instead of sticking they made quick changes, that was the difference. We signed Stone and Macari on loan in comparison.
I think Stockport did the same after getting promoted. Had a poor start, realised they needed better defenders, and signed them ASAP.
