All about defence. Neither Watford or Bournemouth are

Anywhere near good enough. They got promoted by attacking and outscoring teams but won't be able to do that in the prem.

Defensively we were a bit better (and in Tettey have the best defensive midfielder) but for us too that's the big area to focus on. We give teams 2 or 3 chances a game and at champ level get away with it more often than not. The Martin/Whitaker right sided channel is the number 1 priority to sort out this summer. Ruddy needs to rediscover how to hold onto shots as well rather than always parrying them down into his legs.
