Kidderminster manager Mark Yates has fired out a message to play-off rivals Stevenage ahead of their visit to Aggborough - "come and get us."
Graham Westley's side come to town one point and one place behind their hosts, after Harriers leapfrogged them back into the last play-off spot on Wednesday night with a 5-1 demolition of Woking - a result that got Cards manager and former Albion defender Phil Gilchrist the sack.
Boro themselves had disposed Yates' men 24 hours earlier, after they won at York.
Now the Broadhall Lane club find themselves in the 'must-not-lose' bracket - Harriers would be four points ahead with a game in hand if they did.
Yates has played down the importance of the showdown, but knows a midweek win has put his side in the driving seat.
He said: "It's our most important game of the season - because it's our next one. That doesn't change after Stevenage, we move onto Forest Green and that becomes our next big test. They are all vital at this stage of the seaosn.
"Woking was massive for us, if we had lost that we would have been chasing them come tomorrow, so we don't have to beat them to get the upper hand. They have to beat us.
"We only know one way to play, that's good attacking football but sometimes teams are going to make things difficult for you."
