Yes althoigh my view on the defence is that it gave quite a few

opportunities to the opposition that premier league teams are more likely to exploit but in the championship you get away with.
Two examples being:

(i) leaving men unmarked at the top of the box and allowing them to have a shot after corners have been cleared - these are probably counted as quite low % opportunities but I do think prem players will put them away more often; and

(ii) as said in the article - "They were, at times, too easy to play through in transition, and against better quality opponents, those situations will more often be turned into good shooting opportunities"

Statistically our defence was obviously not too bad but when watching the games we did feel rather open at times. It will be interesting to see if Farke adapts the style of play to make us a little tighter. Hard to do though when your full backs are such an important part of your attacking game.
