STUART Watkiss wants a high-tempo finale to Kidderminster Harriers' season in a last throw of the dice against relegation.

The Harriers manager was delighted with their rousing weekend comeback against leaders Yeovil Town that conjured the equaliser among a string of chances in a 1-1 draw.

And now Watkiss wants his team to reproduce the attacking feast in their last three Coca-Cola League Two games, starting at Boston United on Saturday.

An inferior goal difference means Harriers are effectively seven points behind Rushden and Diamonds who can clinch survival with victory at play-off chasing Darlington this weekend.

Watkiss said: "The tempo the players produced in the last 10 or 15 minutes against Yeovil is what they've got to try to sustain for 90. You can see what we can achieve playing at that tempo as the top of the league came into town and were struggling to handle us.

"The good and successful teams can play at that tempo for long, sustained periods. That's one of the things we have got to look at doing.

"But I'm 24 games into my stint and am still saying the same things after games. It's not the opposition that's creating problems.

"Sometimes you can't defend every situation but there's far too many times when I'm having to say we played well, were a match for the opposition and had more chances but have shot ourselves in the foot."

Defender Johnny Mullins is back at Reading for treatment on a hamstring strain and looks to have played his last Harriers game after a fine 21-match and two-goal loan spell.
