KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Jan Molby may gamble on playing injured goalkeeper Stuart Brock in tomorrow's Nationwide League Division Three match at Barnet (3pm).

It has not been decided yet whether he will be in the starting line-up and close-season signing Brendan Murphy is standing by to make his debut.

Molby has drawn a blank in his bid to sign an emergency keeper on loan and Brock could play with his damaged hand heavily strapped.

Brock broke a bone in his right hand during the warm-up for Tuesday night's 1-0 Worthington Cup first round second leg defeat against Walsall at Aggborough.

His injury came in the same week that first choice keeper Tim Clarke underwent a knee operation which is also likely to sideline him for up to six weeks. The double blow left Harriers with Murphy as the only keeper left on their books.

Still on the Aggborough casualty list are defender Scott Stamps (knee) and front-runner Ian Foster (hamstring).

Molby, meanwhile, is hoping Kidderminster can bounce back from Tuesday night's cup disappointment and also last Saturday's home 1-0 Division Three defeat against Carlisle United.

"But it's going to be another tough one for us. Over the last three seasons they have found themselves in the play-offs twice so they will be a real handful. A lot of their success is built on their home form at Underhill where they do very well.

"They are a direct side and they get the ball forward very quickly. They have got one of the best wide players in the division in Darren Currie who can play wide on the right and wide on the left.

"It's going to be one of those games where if you think you can go down there and feel sorry for yourselves after what happened against Walsall then you get the shock of your life.

"Barnet play the same way every game. They hit quick and they close you down quick, so it's going to be a real tough 90 minutes for us.

"But we have got to take heart from the way we contained Walsall on Tuesday. In an ideal world you always want to cause them more problems going forward but they are an exceptional side and I think we have got to take a lot of heart from that.

"The biggest problem we have got at the moment, though, is not confidence it's injuries."

Molby is hoping that Harriers can regain their goalscoring touch after failing to hit the target in their last two matches.

He said: "The Carlisle game was disappointing but the thing missing against them was the tempo. Walsall are an exceptional side and in many ways we didn't go looking for that goal because we didn't have to score. We did the business up there and we felt with a bit of luck we could contain them and we nearly did until we made a mistake.

"But anyone who guarantees you goals is going to cost you an awful lot of money by signing that kind of player, so we'll carry on and I'm sure come the end of the season we'll get enough goals. Nobody wants to get knocked out of cups but the league is more important.

"A run in the Worthington Cup would have been for financial gains for the club and a bit of confidence for the players but the league is our bread and butter."
