** LATEST NEWS **
- 30 January - One of the worst performances of the
season by Harriers saw them crash to a comprehensive 4-0 defeat at
Plymouth.
- 30 January - Tonight Harriers travel to Plymouth for a
third attempt at playing at Home Park. Mark Shail is welcomed bak to the
squad following his one match suspension, Stewart Hadley may also be
available after injury. Expect Harriers to line-up as follows: Brock,
Clarkson, Stamps, Doyle, Hinton, Shail, Smith, MacKenzie, Broughton,
Ducros, Durnin.
- 27 January - Harriers end a run of four straight defeats
with a draw against Hull at Aggborough. The Tigers were two up inside
fourteen minutes but Harriers stormed back with goals from Drewe Broughton
and John Durnin before the break. Harriers welcomed back Scott Stamps
from injury but he didn't last the whole match, while Parfait Medou-Otye
didn't make it.
- 25 January - Steve Pope has joined League of Wales
side Aberystwyth Town on loan with a view to the move becoming permanent.
- 22 January - Harriers today completed the signing of
Drewe Broughton from Peterborough. The deal, which a week ago looked
buried, is initially for a month with the view to completing a permanent
arrangement which would cost the Harriers £50000. The striker goes straight
into the squad for tomorrow's trip to Mansfield and should make his
debut alongside John Durnin.
- 17 January - Jan Molby continues to look to strengthen
his squad, another Frenchman Frederic Bonniface has been training with
the club. The compatriot of Parfait Medou-Otye has been with Scottish
Division 1 side Clyde since October for whom he has played 8 games
and scored 1 goal. Also, an un-named player with a Premiership club
is in Jan's sights with a view to a loan move, but that is on hold at
the moment as his team have an injury crisis.
The Harriers game at Exeter on March 24 has been moved to a midday
kick off to avoid clashing with England's World Cup clash against Finland.
That will mean an extra early start for those intending to travel to
the game.
- 16 January - Harriers today missed out on the signature
of Drewe Broughton, a striker with Second Division Peterborough. A loan
deal had been agreed between the clubs, with a £50000 transfer fee if
the move became permanent. However, Reading have also shown an interest
in the former Brentford and Norwich player, so he hs chosen to spend
the rest of the week on trial with them instead.
- 13 January - Brighton gained revenge for the 2-0
defeat they suffered at the hands of the Harriers at Withdean in August
with a matching scoreline. Of the seven players placed on the transfer
list eearlier in the week, only Barry Horne figured in the starting
line-up while Daire Doyle had to be content with a place on the
bench and didn't get seet on.
- 12 January - Harriers sign Irishman Daire
Doyle on a free transfer from Coventry. The 20 year old featured
in the Harriers reserve side earlier in the season, playing twice and
scoring three times.
Brighton are the visitors to Aggborough tomorrow, and the promotion
chasing Seagulls will be looking to avenge Harriers' 2-0 win at Withdean
in August. Harriers will probably be without stikers Ian Foster and
Stewart Hadley as well as Scott Stamps and Adie Smith who are all still
carrying injuries. New signing Daire Doyle is added to the squad that
lost at Bury on Wednesday. Harriers probable line-up: Brock, Clarkson,
Medou-Otye, Bogie, Hinton, Shail, Davies, Horne, Durnin, Ducros, MacKenzie.
- 11 January - Jan Molby has placed seven players on
the transfer list, six of them on free transfers. Tim Clarke, Paul Webb,
Steve Pope, Tony Bird, Barry Horne, and Ian Bogie are available for
free while Dean Bennett is available for a fee. Meanwhile, Craig Hinton
has signed a new three-and-a-half year contract in recognition of his
performances so far this season.
- 10 January - Harriers travel to Second Division Bury
in the LDV Vans Trophy this evening with a number of injury worries.
Scott Stamps will be missing having picked up an injury at Halifax on
Saturday, Ian Clarkson should fill in. Ian Bogie may come in for Adie
Smith who picked up his injury in training yesterday. I predict Harriers
will line up as follows: Brock, Clarkson, Medou-Otye, Bogie, Hinton,
Shail, MacKenzie, Horne, Bird, Ducros, Durnin.
- 5 January - Harriers face former Conference rivals
Halifax at The Shay tomorrow, and will again look to complete their
first double of the season after Torquay's late equaliser denied them
on Monday. Stewart Hadley and Ian Foster are likely to be missing
tomorrow with hamstring injuries, but the rest of the squad is
available. Expect Harriers to line-up as follows: Brock, Medou-Otye,
Stamps, Bogie, Hinton, Shail, Bennett, Horne, Bird, Ducros, Durnin.
- 3 January - Harriers' trip to Shrewsbury, which was
postponed last month due to the Gay Meadow pitch being under several
feet of water, has been rearranged for February 6. Harriers supporters
who bought tickets for the original date are advised that these are still
valid. The home game with Scunthorpe, postponed from last Saturday,
has been rearranged for March 13.
- 1 January - A last gasp equaliser denies Harriers
victory in a scrappy New Years Day fixture at windswept Plainmoor against
Torquay. John Durnin's sixth goal in twelve matches had put Harriers
ahead but substitute Simon Lyons scored his first League goal to earn
The Gulls a point.
