INJURIES, 'flu and a suspension have given Kidderminster Harriers boss Jan Molby a selection headache for tomorrow's Nationwide League Division Three clash against Darlington at Aggborough (3pm).

No fewer than six players are on the casualty list while left-back Scott Stamps will be missing due to a one-match ban for picking up five bookings.

His place will be filled by Ian Joy while defenders Abdou Sall and Adie Smith (both groin) and striker Colin Larkin (hamstring) are all ruled out.

There are also doubts over midfielders Richie Appleby (hamstring) and Mark Blake (Achilles tendon) with Henriksen battling to overcome 'flu.

Molby says Appleby will "probably be missing" while the chances of Henriksen and Blake being fit are rated at 50-50.

Appleby collected his injury in Tuesday's 4-1 defeat at home to Luton Town when goalkeeper Stuart Brock presented the Hatters with three gift goals.

Brock, however, retains his place and is hoping to make up for his horror show display.

Molby said: "He's got some work to do now. The majority of the season things have gone well for him, now he's having a difficult time and he'll have to come through that.

"But it's a challenge for us all now to bounce back after Tuesday. We aren't going to have the excitement we've had over the last three games at Aggborough with crowds of around 4,000, but it's an important bread and butter match we need to win."

Molby is warning his play-off hopefuls to expect Darlington to adopt defensive tactics. He believes The Quakers will use a similar strategy to that which earned them a 1-0 win at Aggborough in the first round of the FA Cup on November 17.

He said said: "They got 11 men behind the ball and defended well. They pinched a goal, but I didn't think we played particularly well.

"I don't think we played particularly badly either as we had chances, but it was just one of those days. We have completely recovered from that and it's now a different game.

"We are scoring goals so we are hopeful, although we know it will be a difficult game.

"We'll be the home team and it's up to us to go at them. Every time we go out and play, we always feel we are going to score goals.

"The key to our game is getting the second goal. We always feel we can one, but if we can get a second we go on and score more."

Kidderminster (from): Brock, Clarkson, Joy, Blake, Hinton, Ayres, Bennett, Williams, Broughton, Henriksen, Foster, Appleby, Shilton, Ducros, Murphy, Davies.

FORMCAST: Harriers can return to winning ways, 2-1.
