Joe Root is possibly the worst batter on Australian soil. He averages just about 33 in Australia in over 3 tours with zero hundreds. He's likely to drop his average down to 20 at the end of the series.
I think that the most straightforward and appropriate words I can write now are - Andy King, I can categorically say, you are a manager's dream.
In his younger days, he was a player with drive, ability and goals. In his pomp, a player with drive, ability, goals and influence. In his renaissance years, a player with ability, knowledge, influence, empathy, coaching ability, not so many goals, but a personality that is worth everything to a football club. Anyone who knows anything about the game, knows exactly what a character like @AndyKingy delivers, on and off the field.
Your career, my friend, has been one I admire. Why? Because you are one of the very few who has maximised the gifts you have. Good luck for tomorrow, enjoy your time with your lovely family, and best wishes for your future whatever you decide to do next. Cheers, Nige.
@chrisdurning86@_mattpiper You have hit the nail on the head, since champions league 2017 our atmosphere has been decent 1/2 games a season at home and away when it is smaller allocations because the majority of people who sing have the highest priority points at away games. Sense of entitlement is massive
It’s embarrassing that fans don’t get it. At home teams camp in defence, it will always start slow and then the gates open in the second half when they have to do something.
Aways, teams come onto us, it’s a faster and more free flowing game (that’s why they sell out fast!)
