KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have been warned to expect a Bristol Rovers backlash when they travel to the Memorial Ground this weekend.

Rovers managed to protect their undefeated home record in midweek after coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Yeovil - despite being down to nine men.

And Harriers boss Jan Molby is predicting that his opposite number Ian Atkins will have his side fired up once again.

"They'll be buzzing after fighting back for a draw despite having two players sent off," said Molby.

"They'll also be a bit frustrated and wondering what might have been if they'd have finished with 11 players.

"Either way we'll have to go there and be strong because they're one of two teams in our division who are still unbeaten at home."

Molby believes the encouraging performance Kidderminster produced in their narrow 1-0 LDV defeat at Bristol last month will stand them in good stead on Saturday.

He added: "The team they put out that night was probably their strongest team other than the odd player and we did all right.

"They only beat us by a late counter attack goal so we can take confidence from that when we go there on Saturday."

Rovers will be without Steve Elliott and Dave Savage, who are automatically suspended after their red cards against Yeovil.
