McQuilkin Looks For Games

Loan Bull James McQuilkin has spoken to Kidderminster's official site in a Q&A session about his move to the Conference side:

I know you were very much settled at Hereford; did it come to a point where you felt you had to get out and get games?
As a footballer you just want to play as often as you can and, unfortunately, this season I haven't have featured as much as I would have liked there so I knew I had to look at other opportunities to play and this is a place I've been able to do that.

Given their league position and a need to scrap points out, do you feel you perhaps weren't suited to that style, being more of a luxury in that situation, an attacking player?
Possibly, yeah. The way we were playing probably didn't suit my style because we were right down there near the bottom of the league and in many games were scrapping just to get something. They said I wouldn't fit into the way they had to play and Kidderminster is a club that gets the ball down and play and that really fits me.

We talk about your 'style' - how do you sum yourself up as a player to those still getting to know you?
I'd say I am quite a technical player who likes to get on the ball and pass it; and potentially chip in with a few goals as well. Obviously the more games I play, the better I am hopefully going to get because I am still building that fitness and sharpness that you get from playing.

Moving on… if there was going to be a game that advertised this level of football to you as a Hereford player, that might well have been the York City match recently…
Yeah, there was a great atmosphere here on the night and everybody got behind the lads. Fortunately we managed to get back into it and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it. I was over the moon to have scored a goal as well.

And what about the difference between this end of the BSBP and the bottom of League 2…
To be honest, I don't think there's very much at all. The gap is very small between the bottom half of League 2 and the top half of the Conference and, certainly, Kidderminster are a lot better than a number of sides in League 2.
