Ryan Giles

Potentially hit the nail on the head there mate.

I take the age point, however I actually think players can be coached/ improved throughout their career depending on the manager/ coaching staff. I certainly think at 23 Giles can still and will improve on the defensive side.

I thought he improved quite a bit through the season on his defensive duties

He improved a lot defending one on one against wingers and tactical he got better as well however he is still really poor defensively in the air and his upper body strength is also weak can that be improved i am not so sure.

I thought he improved a bit too, defensively, but I do think that affected his willingness to press forward and make crosses. In the last few games, he only seemed to do so when we were chasing, now that could also be down to instruction.

I like Giles and would be happy for him to return at the right price, but Manning on a free is tempting and he adds more defensively

Physically he is what he is, I suppose. I do recall him musceling one of the Coventry players of the ball in the second leg, so he can do it.

You are right about his heading though.

I do wonder why he doesn't occasionally cut inside and have a go himself.
