Boreham Wood will look to pile on the misery for winless Kidderminster Harriers on Tuesday (kick-off 7.45pm) when they travel to Aggborough to take on the winless side.

Currently bottom of the National League with just six points from 14 fixtures – all procured from draws – Harriers are also managerless following Gary Whild’s departure last week.

Chairman Rod Brown had hoped to make an appointment prior to Saturday’s 1-0 home loss against Welling United but was unable to do so.

Speaking to the club’s website, he said: “It is vitally important for the long-term future of the football club that we get this right, and in that sense we are in no hurry.

“We are happy that the team is in good hands in the immediate short-term as Colin Gordon and the staff have been working hard and the players have responded to that.

“But we know we need to find a permanent solution and all of our focus is on that – if it means taking a little longer to make the right appointment than we’d first thought, I’m sure all supporters will appreciate that.”

Wood boss Ian Allinson will be looking for a third away win of the season to add to victories against league big boys Tranmere Rovers and Torquay United earlier in the campaign.

In seven homes games Kiddy have drawn two, including a 2-2 tie with last season’s Play-Off finalists Grimsby Town, and suffered five defeats.

Harriers have a very young squad and are headed up by the experience of Jared Hodgkiss who made more than 150 appearances for Forest Green Rovers before making the move to Kidderminster last summer. The former West Bromwich Albion defender is captain of the Worcestershire side.

The 28-year-old full-back’s performances landed him the club’s Player of the Year award last season before committing to Harriers for the forthcoming season back in May.

There is further experience in the likes of Ebbsfleet United Kelvin Langmead, 30, but with four young loanees from West Brom and Aston Villa, it is a youthful squad on the whole.

Harriers have spent much of their time in the top ten of the National League. In 1999/00 former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby guided the side to the title and they spent five seasons in the Football League.

However, attendances began to fall and the subsequent collapse of ITV Digital saw them relegated back to the National League at the end of the 2005/06 campaign.

After three seasons of rebuilding Harriers flirted with the playoffs for four seasons before finally reaching them in 2012-2013, the finished second but lost in the play-off semi-final.

It was well documented in the summer that Kidderminster slashed their budget by 50 per cent and long-serving boss Whild paid for the side’s subsequent slow start by leaving the club.

Former England and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Tim Flowers was offered the position of head coach but turned it down to follow Whild out of Aggborough.

Colin Gordon remains in temporary charge whilst the pursuit of a new head coach – and a first three points of the season – continues.
