Scott Phelan is a supersub for Harriers
Wednesday 24th August 2011, 6:45AM BST.
Kidderminster Harriers supersub Scott Phelan admitted a point was “fair” after saving his side from defeat with an equaliser against Stockport.
Phelan has climbed from the bench in every game this season but, last night at Aggborough, opened his goal account for the club with the strike that salvaged a 1-1 draw.
The home side had trailed to Tom Elliott’s 27th minute header until Phelan, on for Steve Guinan, drilled in with two minutes to go.
And Harriers’ hero insists it was nothing more than the team deserved, as they remain sixth in the early Blue Square Premier table.
Phelan said: “At the end of the game, 1-1 was probably a fair result. They had the better of the first-half and we had a bit of talking to at half-time.
“It seemed to work – we came out in the second-half and, in my opinion, were the better team.
“But, on the whole, I think one point was probably fair.”
The midfielder is still awaiting his first start since joining from Halifax in the summer but, after impressive cameo roles, could have played his way into boss Steve Burr’s thoughts.
Harriers have yet to win at home this season in two attempts but Phelan is hoping that will change against Southport on Saturday.
He said: “It’s disappointing we haven’t been able to get a win in front of our home fans yet.
“We go into each game wanting to win, that will be the case against Southport and we can cement our place towards the top end of the table.
“Even though it is early days, it’s nice to be there.”
