However, we won't be good enough to dominate possession at Championship level, so I hope if we sell, the money will be used to bring in more powerful, streetwise centre backs who can actually defend.

I would much rather us keep Lawlor and sell Chambers, Fish and Osho, who all struggled in League 1 last season and are nowhere near good enough for the Championship.

Look at our record against the better teams in League 1 last season and it's obvious we will concede loads of goals in the Championship with our current defenders. We will get relegated unless our defence is significantly improved.

Dylan played 32 league goals last season , we conceded 43 goals in those games out of a total of 50 all season and you will bin the others. That is what is funny.
