Boss reckons Harriers will hold their own

Manager Gary Whild is confident his Kidderminster Harriers side can put the club's perils aside to hold their own in the National League this season.

While there are signs that the financial problems that dogged them last campaign are easing, Kidderminster have yet to register a win on the field in the league this term.

Aman Verma's stoppage-time header earned a 2-2 draw in the opener at Aggborough against Grimsby, while a late goal condemned them to a 3-2 defeat at Dover Athletic on Tuesday.

Harriers travel to North Yorkshire tomorrow to face Guiseley (3pm). Mark Bower's side lost their opener to Welling United 1-0, but on Tuesday a solitary goal of their own beat visitors Altrincham.

Kidderminster boss Whild said: "I don't foresee a season of struggle. It is a very competitive league and it is getting tougher every season. We have to aim to be up to our maximum."

Defender Kelvin Langmead could return after missing Tuesday's match with a heel injury sustained against Grimsby.

But there are doubts over striker Reece Styche, who pulled up with a tight hamstring at Dover. Craig Reid could start if Styche misses out.
