Last Saturday (07/12) we sat down with #4 Adam Harding to talk about the ups and downs of life as a Wildcat at the moment. He spoke candidly about both his own and the teams performance and what they need to do to turn the corner. Adam was awarded the Man of the Match award on Saturday for his performance versus Manchester Phoenix.
S.W.S.C: Congratulations on your Man of the Match award. Any thoughts on tonight's game?
Adam: It's good to get a Man of the Match but it doesn't mean anything. You know, we didn't play well out there. I don't think I had a really great game so I don't know why I got it to be honest with you. The effort was there but we were finding a way to lose.
S.W.S.C: We saw a great performance in the first period. Unfortunately you were unable to take the win. What went wrong?
Adam: I don't know. I mean we tried to find a way to shut it down in the second period. We battled hard. I've got to give credit to them you know they're a great team but I don't think they deserved 2 points. I think we deserved a point out of that game at least.
S.W.S.C: What lessons can you take away from tonight?
Adam: We just need to play 60 minutes! We are not playing 60 minutes. We are not playing as a team. We are not communicating. There's a lot of things we're not doing and I'm one of the biggest culprits out there as well, so we've got to come together as a team and get the win.
S.W.S.C: You were missing some of the team to GB this weekend. How did that affect the teams overall performance?
Adam: Good teams usually come together when they're short. I think we had a good performance considering how short we were. Fotjik came in and you know he hasn't played in a while. He was a big help out there. But we did miss them. They are key guys in the line-up.
SWSC: What result do you think we will be looking at in Sheffield?
Adam: We're going to win! We need a win. It doesn't matter how we get it. We've got to get a win! We're not going to take nothing from any of them. We're going to go out hard, we're going to battle. We're going to give it to them! (Final score in Sheffield on Sunday 08/12: Steeldogs 1 - 2 Wildcats).

Thank you to Adam for taking the time to chat.
Spot on...not playing as a team and communicating (watt looks like he can't be bothers)
