York visit is massive to Harriers boss

Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr admits that their Blue Square Premier play-off showdown at home to York could "barely be any bigger."

Fifth meets fourth with both teams level on points and Harriers will jump over York and get a foothold on a promotion place with a win.

Defeat or even a draw could deal a blow to either side - Gateshead are knocking on the door of the top five and are only a point behind.

The Heed are also in action at troubled Kettering and are snapping at the heels of both the teams in action at Aggborough.

Harriers midfielder Dan Bradley will be fit to take his place tonight, despite taking a blow to the face in Saturday's 2-0 win at Alfreton.

New signing Anthony Malbon stands-by for his home debut from the bench, despite scoring on Saturday, as he settles in after his move last week.

James Vincent, Jack Byrne and Lee Vaughan are all still out injured for Harriers and boss Burr admits the heat is on.

He said: "I believe that, no matter who you are playing and what stage of the season you are in, your next game is automatically your biggest.

"But taking into account the situations and the positions of the two clubs, tonight's match could barely be any bigger.

"Perhaps the key thing is that, regardless of what happens tonight, the table is too tight for anything to be decided one way or another.

"The game should be a good one as both sides play the right way."

Harriers will meet Blue Square Premier rivals Luton at Aggborough in the third round of the FA Trophy on Saturday week.

The Hatters beat Blue Square North visitors Hinckley 3-0 in a second round replay at Kenilworth Road last night.

Meanwhile, Harriers midfielder Scott Phelan has extended his loan at Vauxhall Motors for another month.
