I mean the idea to make the team more solid is a good one. If players have confidence in their back line it's easier to try something attacking as you aren't scared that any loss of possession will result in a goal. But I think Giles is decent and should not have been sacrificed to keep the formation. Jones - perhaps he needs a kick up the **** but I certainly wouldn't single him out as no one is playing well.
Confidence is so important to Wilders team. Look at sheff utd. The crowd disappears and they sink like a stone. A confident player plays one touch football, a confident player chooses a forward pass rather than a sideways one, a confident player takes his man on instead of a sideways pass.
Think there’s a lot in this. A “Wilderball” team taking the easy option can quickly sink like a stone
