Default Have any players improved?

Whenever we sign a new player, there's usually a range of opinions about him, but the majority hope/believe that he'll be an improvement over what we had.

Some have arrived and made an immediate impact: Think Dibble for example, or Massanka with that overhead shot, or Reid with his strike rate.

Others may have been more anonymous.

What's worrying though is how some have started brightly and then faded away. Is Reid one of these? Think of strikers who put the fear of god into opposition players at first, but then fizzled out, and not just this season: it's been happening for several years.

Are we just unlucky? Or is there some other reason for players losing their form dramatically. Is it a case of them becoming demotivated at our club, and if so, why? Is it that they come here with a good reputation, but are played out of position, or told to fit into a style of play that doesn't suit their strengths or their individuality?

Has Reid's bubble burst by perhaps being told he's too selfish to be a good team-player?

Any others?

Reid looks a shadow of the player who came on as a sub on his debut and scored.

Most improved player for me without a doubt - Rutherford.

We need to play Kelly centre of midfield in an advanced role to see him shine.

There is a massive void in midfield with no link between defence and the forward line.

So why has Reid gone off the boil so much and so quickly?

I am guessing youth has something to do with it. He won't be consistent and probably has lost a little confidence due to missing the odd chance.

Our strikers have to feed off scraps that's why. They have to contest for high long balls that doesn't suit their style and get bullied. He's only young so confidence has taken a hit mainly because the teams stule of play is so dull and predictable he doesn't see where the next chance to score will come from. I can't see him wanting to rush back to extend his loan as putting it brutally DK has abused his talent and has not convinced later to his strengths

Our main problems are not having a player in the middle who has the ability to thread balls inside the fullbacks or in behind the centre halves. We lack a proper left winger and Mackreth, who's very disspointing at the moment, doesn't hug the touchline enough and seems very reluctant to get to the byline. Our ball retention in the middle of the park is woeful and needs a big change soon.

Can't disagree with that. Why then do we have this problem when other teams around us seem not to do so?

Businesses are always looking for their USPs (Unique Selling Points) while our USPs seem to be our Unique Scoring Problems...
