Altrincham v Kidderminster

Altrincham boss Graham Heathcote has urged his side not to grow complacent ahead of their Blue Square Premier clash with Kidderminster at Moss Lane on Saturday.

The Robins squandered a two-goal lead to go down to lowly Forest Green Rovers 4-3 last weekend to end their seven-match unbeaten run and they be looking to get back to winning ways against Harriers.

"There was a lesson to be learnt that if you become complacent in this league, you are going to lose," Heathcote told the Messenger.

"You have to maintain your level of performance for 90 minutes."

The Alty boss has received a huge boost ahead of the encounter with the news that Anthony Danylyk, Nicky Clee and James Smith are all fit, however, Matt Doughty (cruciate) is a doubt.

Harriers are eager to finish the season strongly and will look to build on their midweek victory over Cambridge.

However, boss Steve Burr is well aware of the tough prospect that Altrincham will pose.

"To be fair they have had a number of reprieves over the years due to other teams' struggles but Altrincham have taken that and they have built on it," says Burr.

"Each year they seem to be getting stronger - Graham Heathcote has done a really good job there with his team this year and they are always tough to play against."

Burr will be without the services of Lee Baker (groin), Luke Prosser (concussion), while Martin Riley (groin) and Duane Courtney (ankle) are set to undergo late fitness tests.
