Last season we had an <a href=\"https:\/\/harriers-online.co.uk\/khfc\/02-05-22-report-leamington-fc-2-kidderminster-harriers-0\/\">abysmal result there<\/a> losing to a Callum Gittings worldie in the build up to confirming our place in the play-offs. It was possibly one of the most embarrassing away defeats witnessed by our travelling fans in many a year.<\/p>\n<p>This time around we seem to have very little to play for apart from a mid-table spot and that&#8217;s down to our poor attacking, hence scoring, record so far this season. Twenty four goals in twenty four league games is pretty shocking considering that five clubs below us &#8211; Hereford FC, Spennymoor Town, Alfreton Town, Farsley Celtic and Boston Utd &#8211; all scoring more. Boston in nineteenth place have scored ten more than us.<\/p>\n<p>What the hell do we do about it though? Our two main strikers: Amari Morgan-Smith and Ethan Freemantle are hardly putting themselves in the spotlight with just two goals and seven goals respectively. Ethan can hardly improve his rate either if he&#8217;s no longer starting games and only coming on for the last ten minutes. The only one that seems to have that magic touch is Jack Bearne and he doesn&#8217;t even belong to us but has scored four times including three games running.<\/p>\n<p>Russ Penn said in a video yesterday that he has been talking to three players about coming in on loan but didn&#8217;t mention which position they played in. Going on past form it&#8217;s doubtful he&#8217;s been talking to any strikers. One he most certainly has been talking to is a creative midfielder to replace Joe Leesley.<\/p>\n<p>Joe got injured in the <a href=\"https:\/\/harriers-online.co.uk\/khfc\/01-01-23-match-report-vs-hereford-fc\/\">home game against Hereford on New Years Day<\/a> and looks to be out for up to ten weeks. That&#8217;ll take him up to mid March and sixteen games minimum so we&#8217;ll certainly need someone in that position. With Leesley out it could also mean a return to the starting line-up for Ashley Hemmings but he has got to start to earn that and improve on his disappointing form so far this season.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Penny and Nathaniel Knight-Percival are on their way back from injury with both expected to play in the Worcester Senior Cup at Stourport Swifts on Tuesday evening. Penny is the nearest to a full return so we might even see him on the bench at Leamington.<\/p>\n<p>A win at Leamington could take us up three places to ninth if other results go our way but no doubt they won&#8217;t and we&#8217;ll still find ourselves in twelfth place come tomorrow evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #c60000; font-size: 14pt; padding: 10px;\">Teams:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Harriers from:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008040;\">Palmer, Emery,<\/span> Penny, Richards, Knight-Percival, Foulkes, McNally, Pearce, Margetson, Byrne, Brown, Lissimore, Owen-Evans, Rogers, Martin, Freemantle, Bearne, Hemmings, Morgan-Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Leamington FC from:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008040;\">Hawkins, Day, Slater,<\/span> English, Hall, Lane, Mace, Meredith, Streete, Clarke, Cook, Williams, Cross, Edwards, Kelly-Evans, Maye, Usher-Shipway, Walker, Mooney, Reid, Taylor, Turner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Referee: Mr Gareth Thomas.
