We look to pick up our first points under new manager Tommy Wright on Saturday when we travel to Kidderminster Harriers. (writes Simon Hahn)

Tommy’s first two games in charge have seen two defeats, 3-1 at Blyth and 3-0 at home to Brackley, and he is looking for a big improvement on last weekend’s lack lustre display.

Tommy is hoping to complete at least one signing before the game, and in the meantime he has promoted 18 year old keeper Matt Bancroft from the reserves to be cover keeper for Ed Wilczynski, who takes over in goal from the departed Adam Bartlett.

We have had many meetings with Kidderminster over the last couple of decades including the first ever match at the Arena, a game that Harriers won 2-0.

After five seasons in the Football League they were relegated back to the National Premier in 2004/05. They remained in the top level of non-league football until they were relegated into the National North two seasons ago.

Last season they finished second in the division behind AFC Fylde, but lost in the playoff semi finals to Chorley.

Harriers were victorious in both our meetings last season, winning 1-0 at Heritage Park and 2-1 at Aggborough.
