My experience two years ago, when I completely lost my roll after a neck injury, was that as the roll came back, I could always roll my Romany in several different ways, but could not roll my Seguin. As time went on I was once again able to roll the Seguin. As a general practice, I think it's a good idea to get a skill down so it's easy, in an easy boat and easy circumstances, and then proceed to more difficult boats and more difficult circumstances. So on days when my roll (for example) isn't good, I go back to using a layback roll - and if that's still cumbersome, the next time I make sure I take out the Seguin. Go back to a point where it's easy, get my confidence and my technique back there, and then move quickly to the next-most-difficult technique, boat, or situation.
