You do a dis service to defenders, or coaching, maybe both
This is championship football as well, not League 2,
plenty of these players would have had some serious investment in terms of coaching etc. Defenders do need to know how to play a bit, they're in a unique position where the game is in front of them, they're the eyes and ears of the team. I don't think anyone is expecting miracles, but the ability to carry the ball 10 yards and make a comfortable pass or show a bit of composure should be a given for most defenders at Championship level. Sadly, it isn't.
