A big enigma is Andy:
I saw him play away at Basingstoke; without Storey onboard, and he had the freedom to attack and pass players with mazey runs. When Storey is onboard he is less effective.
The problem, as GnN have explained is logistically Andy has to travel great distances with his Tennis installation job = fitness problems. However, I raised at the open forum, early in the season, about how serious were players like Andy about improving fitness and lasting 90 minutes - reference smoking. I'm not his mother, and all that, but I wonder how focused Andy is on being the best he can be at Conf South level - as when he went off with the shoulder injury in the Dorchester Home game, I saw him standing with a mate by the perimeter barrier watching the game drawing heavily on some smokes. Not a great advert for kids who look up to them and not the way to improve speed and stamina. A good player but a frustrating good player.
