In-form Horsham winger told to ‘keep up intensity’

Harding was instrumental in the Hornets’ 2-0 home win over ten-man Cheshunt on Saturday.

The livewire netted his third league goal in four in a man-of-the-match display against the Ambers.

Harding’s goal took his tally for the campaign to four in 31 appearances in all competitions.

The winger has now scored 15 goals in 70 appearances for Horsham since his move from Sussex neighbours Burgess Hill Town in July 2018.

Di Paola said: “Lee should be doing that every week, week in week out, all season.

“I’ve been telling him since he came to the club that if he got his consistency right he is such a threat.

“He’s a player that’s a bit streaky in terms of goals scored and performances.

“But he’s 24-years-old now. He’s coming up to an age where he should be getting his consistency right.

“When he plays at his best you’re not going to find much better to be honest.

“He’s a very laid-back lad – a great lad but laid-back.

“I just think he needs that desire to keep up the intensity in his performances. When he does he’s a real talent.

“We love Lee. We just want him to be at his best every week.”
