The answer here is a perfectly sensible and obvious one if you look at most of the players who's form has dipped considerably. For me those players are Tom Lees, Luke Joyce, Chris Turner, Micheal Symes, Bobby Grant, Billy Kee and Sean McConville, none of whom have completed a full season (which in this case includes two long cup runs) at first team level in any division. Most of the players mentioned have either spent the majority of their previous seasons out on sporadic loan spells (Symes, Joyce) or been playing youth academy or reserve football (max of 25 games per season). Based on the fact that we have now played in excess of 50 games this season, it is easy to see how these young inexperienced players can see their form fading in the face of a long hard season. Especially one where the pitches and weather have been as bad as this season.
I'm afraid chaps and chapesses it is not rocket science!!
