Interesting situation. In a way, you can only beat what is in front of you. Same with improvement maybe? I guess you could practice things with the “weaker” players and be tested against the “top” players. However, depends on the person, as if you are kind of person that plays with “weaker” players and drops your game, then when you play the one good match, you are playing awful as you’ve been playing with the others. Missing your chance to properly test yourself against better players.

At the end of the day, it’s swings and roundabouts and it depends on your goals. And remember, it’s not always about how good players are, that get onto teams, it’s who you know. So even if “top top” player isn’t playing so well, they might just keep him in the team anyway, which means you wouldn’t get a look in. And if you want to another club, you wouldn’t be able to walk straight into a team as everyone has sort of set their place for the season. So you’d have to start from the bottom and work your way up. And the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

If I was you, I’d at least give it a few more weeks, as you could just be feeling down about it or had a bad club night (it happens to us all, it’s never perfect ALL the time). If, after so many weeks, the feeling is still strong then maybe it’s worth looking into? What would be the pro’s and con’s moving NOW, to moving in the summer? And remember, good players attract good players (I’m assuming that you are a good player, as most people downgrade how good they are so you are better than you think ). So if you stay and another good player joins, said person might stay. Whereas if you go they might think that there’s no middle level and leave.

I realise that I’m talking about club nights than match teams but I’m not sure on the setup of league teams for different places so I just thought that this post might get you thinking or give you some ideas.
