KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Jan Molby has issued a "watch out" warning to his players ahead of tomorrow's Nationwide League Division Three clash against Hull City at Boothferry Park (3.0).

The former Liverpool star fears a backlash from The Tigers following their bitterly disappointing 2-1 defeat at home to Torquay United last Saturday.

He said: "It's going to be difficult for us because it was unexpected them losing to Torquay.

"They will be really fired up for us going there to make sure they give their fans a Christmas present. But so will we and we'll be nice and fresh not having had a game for a while.

"Hull have obviously kept it very tight at the back all season. They play 3-5-2 and are a very neat footballing side.

"Apart from their centre halves they haven't got much physical presence, so they try and play which should suit us. It's always a nice pitch up at Hull, so we are looking forward to a good game."

Molby's assistant Gary Barnett ran the rule over Hull last Saturday after Harriers' scheduled match with Shrewsbury Town was called off because of a flooded Gay Meadow pitch.

Kidderminster will again be without skipper Ian Clarkson and long-serving midfielder Paul Webb tomorrow.

Clarkson is still suffering from hamstring trouble while Webb continues to recover from a groin injury.

Defender Scott Stamps, however, is now off the casualty list following ankle ligament damage.

Molby says Harriers' line-up will "not be a million miles away" from that which was selected for their last league match which resulted in a 2-1 home win over Macclesfield on December 2.

With Clarkson out striker Tony Bird is set to be added to the squad. Molby said: "He's got five goals now in various competitions, but still no league goals. It might sound funny to one or two but he is a goalscorer.

"He is getting a few now and it's good for him, but at the moment he's not quite in the first choice partnership up front.

"But it's up to him to battle his way back in there and the best way of doing that is by getting himself goals when he does get the opportunity."

Meanwhile, Kidderminster have confirmed that the home matches against Mansfield (Tuesday, December 26) and Scunthorpe (Saturday, December 30) will both kick off at 3pm.

Harriers are also offering reduced price season tickets before and after their Boxing Day game with Mansfield.

They will be available from the new ticket office, situated in the directors' car park, and are priced: Terrace, £92 (adults), £61 (over 65s) and £36 (students); seats, £123 (adults), £81 (over 65s) and £41 (under 16s).
