KIDDERMINSTER Harriers' injury problems have started to ease in time for tomorrow's Nationwide League Division Three clash against high-riding Leyton Orient at Aggborough (3pm).

Scott Stamps is now back in action after a knee problem while fellow defender Adie Smith is expected to be fully fit following hamstring trouble.

Still sidelined, however, are front-runner Ian Foster (hamstring) and goalkeeper Tim Clarke (knee) together with long-term casualty Thomas Skovbjerg (knee).

Molby is looking for a vastly improved display following Tuesday night's 1-1 draw at Southend United.

He said: "It was a poor performance by us. I thought we were poor from start to finish and really we left two points there.

"It was a tremendous opportunity to come back with three points, but we didn't.

"We have been saying for a while now that the lads, like the rest of the country, are running on empty.

"But even Ray Graydon (Walsall's manager) has come out and said there's too much football and that's from a battle-hardened squad of Second Division players.

"We have got 70 per cent of our squad who have just gone from part time to full time so we're struggling equally.

"We are picking up points but I just thought there was a little bit too much on Tuesday that we forgot how to do.

"It wouldn't have taken a lot of winning and obviously it's disappointing playing 39 minutes against 10 men and them coming back and equalising."

Molby expects a difficult match against an Orient side who are two places above Harriers in fourth spot.

He said: "It will be a difficult game for us. They are one of only two unbeaten teams in the third division - Cardiff are the other who we play the following Saturday.

"So it's going to be tough. They have had some good results, but they will come here and try and play.

"Two years ago they were in the play-off finals. Last year they had a disappointing time, but now they seem to have bounced back.

"They have got good young players, very mobile and playing at a good tempo.

"We have had a couple of home matches where the away teams have packed their defences and not really tried to make a game of it.

"But I think Orient will make it an open game and obviously they will be on a high because they are doing well in the league. They are one of the teams to look out for this season and let's hope it will be an entertaining game."
