At the end of 2015 Dack was being touted with all sorts of clubs and was scoring for fun. He was able to turn defenders on their heels and curl in goals from both sides of the box. Since last new year however he has been very subdued and although he has contended with some minor injuries, we have set up our playing system to utilise him in the role that suits him best without seeing much outcome. So what do we think the reasons are, I think its one of these but I can't pinpoint which one:
1. The talk of being the best player in League 1 and high transfer fee talk was a distraction that he has struggled to escape from.
2. Teams have worked out what his strengths are and can now defend against him more effectively.
3. The Gills dip in form meant he was unable to get into the same groove as before.
4. Transfer talk and minor injuries caused his form to drop which then saw the Gills also drop in form as a team.
5. It was a period of extreme confidence that saw his form peak to a height he would be unlikely to replicate (ala Pope at Port Vale).
