Yates wants focus to the finish
Kidderminster manager Mark Yates has urged his side to see the job through as their Blue Square Premier play-off challenge steps up a gear.
Harriers made it seven points in seven days with a 1-0 win at bottom club Lewes on Saturday, Justin Richards' 13th league goal of the season enough to see off their managerless hosts at the Dripping Pan.
Yates' side must now kick their heels until Woking are the visitors to Aggborough on Saturday but sit sixth, four points behind the play-off places with at least two games in hand on the teams above them.
The manager knows it's their play-off place to lose now.
He said: "We are right in it and I've said that all along - the players have worked extremely hard to put us in this position.
"We've got to see the job through. We know we're good enough and there's belief and spirit within the camp that's determined to get us there.
"I've said every week, we've got to pick up as many points as we can as quickly as we can - seven points in a week is a good return."
Harriers were made to work hard for Saturday's result, despite facing a team who had lost 14 games in a row going into the game.
A scrappy 1-0 win it may have been, but Yates is happy to take that.
He said: "It was about attitude - I had been dreading this game in a sense, a new manager who would have got them going and 14 consecutive defeats - we needed to start well and we did that."
