Another sorry afternoon for a Harriers side that remains rooted to the foot of League Two following a fourth consecutive defeat, their heaviest at home this season, and a thirteenth failure to score. Jon Beswetherick and Darryn Stamp were brought in for their debuts and Wayne Hatswell returned from suspension; Chris McHale was relegated to the subs' bench as was Ian Foster who lost his place to Jesper Christiansen. Harriers started brightly and James Keene almost opened the scoring in the second minute when he flashed a shot across the face of goal and wide of the far post. Boston caught the Harriers defence napping with an early raid, Andy Kirk got clear but Ben Foster was out quickly to save his shot. Harriers were trying to play football and were knocking the ball around quite well, throughout the first half they were well on top as the visitors offered little as an attacking threat. Simon Russell saw a volley tipped over the bar by Nathan Abbey following good work on the left by Christiansen. After their promising first half showing Harriers would have expected to have gone on to build on the solid platform that they had built but United had other ideas and came out for the second half fired up. It took just three minutes for the first goal to come, a corner on the left taken by David Noble found an unmarked Lee Beevers in the goalmouth, Foster should have claimed the cross but remained rooted to his line as Beevers powered a header past him. Before Harriers had had a chance to regroup and start to play again they were two down; the ball was played through the inside left channel to Jason Lee who collided with Foster who had come out to clear and referee Bates had no hesitation in pointing to the penalty spot. Andy Kirk stepped forward to take the kick and sent Foster the wrong way. At two down Harriers went to pieces, the players' heads dropped and they were unable to lift themselves to try and get back into the game until late on. Keene had a good shot parried by Abbey but there was nobody following up to capitalise. A Youssou Diop shot was tipped away for a corner and then Diop and set Dean Keates free on the left; his low cross found Keene but he got the ball stuck under his feet and United were able to clear. Ben Foster's afternoon went from bad to worse ten minutes from the end when he gave away another penalty for a foul on Kirk. Kirk stepped forward again and sent his shot to Foster's left, as he had the first one, and again Foster went the wrong way. Harriers' humiliation was completed in stoppage time when Lee Thompson got into the penalty area on the right, his shot was parried by Foster but Kirk was following up and had an easy tap in to complete his hat-trick. The game ended to a chorus of boos and a section of the crowd chanting for the removal of the club's board of directors. |
