KIDDERMINSTER Harriers go into tomorrow's top-of-the-table Nationwide Conference clash at Nuneaton Borough (3.00) with manager Jan Molby insisting: "It's a match we must win."
The Aggborough chief said today: "It's a big game and a draw is no good to any of us. Defeat would be a major setback."
Harriers, unbeaten in their last seven Conference outings, are in fourth place while Nuneaton are two points better off in second spot.
Rushden & Diamonds are a point ahead at the top of the table, but are without a fixture tomorrow.
"We have all got to hang on to Rushden and we can't afford to lose any game," added Molby.
Kidderminster will be aiming to gain revenge for their 2-1 home defeat against Nuneaton on September 13, which was the world's first senior soccer match to be controlled by three women officials.
Molby said: "Nuneaton were excellent at Aggborough. They are going well and are probably the best team we have seen at home all season.
"They beat us and we will be going there looking for revenge. We certainly need to get back to winning ways.
"Let's hope we have big support there and get the win we need."
Harriers will selecting the same squad which was named for their 1-1 home draw with Hereford United last Monday.
It includes midfielder Dean Bennett who went close to scoring a wonder goal which must have impressed the Football League scouts who were watching him, including a representative from Second Division outfit Bristol Rovers.
Still sidelined are Andy Brownrigg (cartilege), Steve Pope (hamstring and ankle), Phil King (groin) and Shaun Cunnington (back).
Midfielder Brownrigg stepped up his comeback bid earlier this week by successfully playing through a reserve team fixture with suffering any ill effects.
Kidderminster (from): Clarke, Clarkson, Stamps, Petersen, Hinton, Smith, Bennett, Skovbjerg, Hadley, Foster, Marsh, Hines, Brock, Webb, Druce, Taylor.
