Not sure, a bit of everything perhaps?

The more players we have back there, the greater the number of players the opposition can commit to their press.

Agreed though that also wasn't helped by Gunn not being as comfortable on the ball as Krul, and also not having a midfielder available to receive (in the way Skipp was so crucial for us last season).
