Kidderminster Harriers will be looking to carry their FA Cup momentum into league action when FC Halifax Town visit Aggborough on Saturday, with kick-off at 3:00pm.
Last weekend’s 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers in the Second Round gave the Harriers a timely lift, and Paul Wotton believes it should only help the mood around the squad. He said he does not see how the result can be anything but a positive, adding that confidence has not dipped in recent weeks.
Wotton also pointed to the standard of opposition, saying the performance was thoroughly deserved and showed what Harriers can do against good teams. That matters as the club moves straight into another home fixture, with Saturday’s match one of successive league games at Aggborough.
The Harriers boss said the group should keep working hard and keep getting through it, insisting there is no concern about performance levels. He added that he is not sat there scratching his head and feels things will turn, while making clear the focus now is on the next challenge.
Wotton described the Halifax game as one the team is looking forward to, and he wants his side to turn the FA Cup energy into league points. As he put it, Harriers want to pick up three points and will do all they can to do that on Saturday.
For Kidderminster, the test is simple enough. The Doncaster result was a strong statement, but the challenge now is backing it up quickly and using home advantage to keep the momentum going.
