This really reeks of desperation and seems at least a game early to be at that point.

Shows a lack of confidence in their starter from within the team, and that admission makes them come across vulnerable.

VAN could have swapped out Silovs after things got rocky in game 2 and media questioned continuing with him but stuck with their guy and that vote of confidence paid off.

Now if Pickard doesn't work out you have to back to your start who's been picked apart by the media and doesn't have the confidence of his team either. Great situation to be in.
