Wolfpacker Andrew has an issue. He's a very good player, however he is plagued by slow starts in comps and always finds himself having to come from behind to perform well. He's after some thoughts from Nick and Mark who, helpfully, are happy to oblige with some actionable tips to improve and ultimately solve this dilemma of Andrews.
