Harriers boss backs side to rebound
Kidderminster manager Mark Yates insists there is no need to pick the players up as Harriers aim to return to winning ways at home to Wrexham.
The Aggborough men have not won since their last game on home soil 10 days ago, a 3-2 defeat of Gateshead, taking just a point from two away games at Forest Green and York.
A point in the Green game last Tuesday night - which really should have been three - set them up for a 3-2 defeat at KitKat Crescent on Saturday, where the visitors played 81 minutes with 10 men after defender Gavin Caines was sent off.
The summer signing will now miss tonight's game (7:45pm) completing a one-match ban, with Liam Dolman or Tom Sharpe set to step in at the back, but midfielder Dean Bennett is back from suspension.
And home is where the heart has been just lately for Harriers, with four out of six games won at Aggborough this season and the last two in succession.
Now the manager has called for the team to respond to their away-day blues in the right way, by keeping up the good work going forward and finally eradicating the errors at the back.
Yates said: "I don't think it's about picking the players up, we go into Wrexham thinking 'if we can play like we did on Saturday with 10 men, then we can certainly play better with 11.' They hold no fears for us. Yes, they are a good side and have got some good players, but we have been very good going forward and we are looking forward to the game.
"But we have got to stop making these silly mistakes. Silly, individual errors have, for me, cost us five points in our last two games. We have ended up with one point and you can't legislate for bad defending, apart from taking people out and putting people in who are going to do what you tell them to do.
"This is a chance for us to put it right."
