JAN Molby is set to change a winning Kidderminster Harriers side on Saturday - in a bid to snuff out the aerial threat of rivals Cheltenham.

Harriers travel to their old Conference foes who desperately need three points to boost their pursuit of a play-off place.

Monday's impressive 3-0 home win over Plymouth showcased the great potential of many of Aggborough's young players.

But for the trip to Whaddon Road, boss Molby may call on the heading ability of defender Mark Shail, midfielder Paul Webb and big Drewe Broughton who is back from suspension.

Harriers are aware Cheltenham could target their Achilles heel in Division Three - defending set-pieces.

Molby admitted: "The thing we need to look at is whether we need to be bigger because of the way Cheltenham play.

"A lot of their play revolves around set-pieces and long throw-ins. Plymouth were a big physical side as well but with us being at home, I felt they wouldn't get as many corners.

"But we might do something different against Cheltenham. From set-pieces, their main dangers are defenders like (Michael) Duff, (Chris) Banks and (Mark) Sertori."

The clash is spiced up as ex-Harriers manager Graham Allner and captain Mark Yates are at Cheltenham.

Molby said: "This is more of a local derby than Shrewsbury and one place where we don't want to let people down.

"For a lot of people, Saturday is a very important game. On the other hand, we realise it's difficult as Cheltenham are going for the play-offs.

"It's the last two champions of the Conference together and it will be good to measure ourselves against them."

Molby confessed the Plymouth victory, inspired by front-men Stewart Hadley and Andy Ducros, was a surprise after Saturday's 1-0 loss at Chesterfield.

He added: "I felt we gave Chesterfield too much respect. There was nothing in training on Sunday to suggest we would produce a display like that one.

"I have been on to Hadley all season as I don't want him going deep towards the ball, I want him to stay forward and chase.

"He's got strength and is very quick. Playing with Ducros helped him because he had to take more responsibility in winning headers and running.

"Ducros links up with the midfield players. It was very good.

"But it's been disappointing to have had 18 league games this season without finding the net.

"That's a lot but people can't point the finger at us being defensive, apart from at Rochdale. We push forward and that's probably cost us at times."

Harriers pursue their first away league win in six months and their first on a Saturday since Southport last season.

The Cheltenham game is all-ticket for Harriers fans.
