Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr has told his side to treat the FA Trophy 'Mission Impossible' at Stevenage like any other game.

Harriers head to the Lamex Stadium in the semi-final second leg looking to overturn a 5-1 deficit against the Blue Square Premier league leaders, after a thumping at Aggborough last Saturday.

And Burr could be without two of the starting XI from that game, with Gavin Caines and Dean Bennett serious doubts after missing Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at Luton with Achilles and hip injuries respectively.

Jack Byrne and Marc Goodfellow are also cup tied, while assistant boss John Finnigan is set to miss out again with a calf problem.

But the manager is upbeat ahead of the Mount Everest of tasks tomorrow, and warns that there will be no fear from his players on the field.

He said: "We have just got to go out there and be as positive as you can, because you never know in football. Our pride was dented last Saturday, the scoreline flattered Stevenage without a doubt but when you make the basic mistakes that we made, which has been very uncharacteristic since I have been here, it will cost you dearly.

"We don't have much of a choice but to attack, we go there trying to win the game and whatever happens, happens. An early goal or anything like that will unsettle them but it's going to be a massive task for us.

"It's about going there and putting in a better performance than we did last week, we won't be doing anything different because the lads play with freedom anyway."
