KIDDERMINSTER Harriers manager Jan Molby is telling his players to expect a backlash from Yeovil Town when the sides clash in tonight's Nationwide Conference match at Huish Park (7.45).
"They lost heavily on Saturday and that will make it twice as hard for us," he said today.
While Harriers were slipping to a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Dover Athletic on Saturday, Yeovil were being crushed 5-0 at Scarborough.
Molby said: "It was a heavy defeat for them and they will want to put that right tonight in front of their own supporters. It will be tough for us, but it was always going to be. They're one of the fancied teams and are very powerful."
New club captain Paul Webb said: "Obviously, it's not going to be nice going down to Yeovil after they have been beaten by five. It's a difficult place to go and get a result anyway.
"Their pride is going to be dented a little bit the same as ours after Saturday's defeat. So it's going to make it a little bit tougher for us. But I'm sure if we can get our minds right and work hard we can go down there in confident mood."
The new Aggborough boss is set to add newcomer Andy Brownrigg and Steve Taylor to the squad for tonight's trip.
Former Hereford defender Brownrigg missed Saturday's defeat because of a slight calf strain while Taylor was ruled out because of a one-match ban held over from last season.
Kidderminster (from): Brock, Hinton, Hines, Webb, Weir, Smith, Collins, Petersen, Bennett, Hadley, Skovbjerg, Taylor, Brownrigg, King, Foster, Barnett, Cunnington, Tipton.
