Harriers boss targets home comforts
Thursday 23rd September 2010, 8:45AM BST.
Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr has urged his team to turn Aggborough into a fortress and make themselves the total package in the Blue Square Premier.
Harriers go into Sunday’s home game against AFC Wimbledon unbeaten in five games, the latest being a creditable point at high-flying Fleetwood on Tuesday night.
Away form has not been a problem for Burr’s men this season ever since winning at York on the opening day, with a 3-0 defeat at Newport County the one blip so far.
At home it has been a different story, with just one win in five attempts against Hayes & Yeading although that has been sandwiched between two draws, after losing their first two games as hosts.
The visit of the Dons represents an opportunity to level the playing field and that is the goal the manager has set for his men going into the weekend, before they go to Bath City on Tuesday night.
Burr feels that if they can find some form to go with their efforts on the road, the league could be their oyster.
He said: “It’s starting to come together, we are proving a hard side to beat at the moment and the Fleetwood display was very similar to the York win, which have been away from home.
“I want us to put on that type of show at home for our supporters, because the home fans have not seen the best of us by any means, they have seen us play well but we haven’t really got going how I would like.
“Our away performances have been excellent on the whole, but it’s transferring that to winning games and taking points at home.”
