Have Rajasthan Royals lost the plot this season?

Do you think that Rajasthan Royals can bouce back from the situation/position that they are now in. I mean entering as one of the favourites in IPL2 and being the last season's winner, and already 4 matches lost and just one won out of the 5 matches they have played till now.
This time the batting hasn't clicked much. With Graeme Smith not among the runs, and Sohail Tanvir not around this time, RR is looking out of sorts as a team now.I think it all would depend on Greame Smith from here ownwards that how he places his innings. What do you think, can RR bounce back or they have already been put of the equation?

Rajasthan Royals are playing their natural game. but this time it is very difficult for this team to top the table. Deccan chargers and mumbai indians are playing as a team. Rajasthan royals do not have sohail tanvir and shane watson who were the best bowler and the best batsman of the whole tournament. The whole batting is depended on Yusuf pathan.
Earlier royals were underdogs and by the time other teams has a look at them, they took away the trophy. Now every team has an understanding of rr strengths and weaknesses. so it is not a cake walk for them now.

Yes, I almost forgot about shane watson's absence in the team as he was doing a great all-round work for rr last season. Also this year as deccan chargers started as the underdogs, they have already toppled the charts. Thanks for the reply n Happy Mylotting!!

Ya they really seem to loose the plot, or can say that other teams are doing better than what they did in the first season. Actually in the first season it was a new experience for all and Rajastan adapted really well to that, the reason behind there winning. While this time around all seems to be well prepared and know much about how it goes. Its almost the same team which won last time, only changes being Tanvir and M.kaif left out. So i think RR's game has not gone down but all other teams have raised there game.
