Harriers Chatter

The turnaround in form and the change in mood around the club pretty much dates from the week that he became involved. Credit to Murray but he's not doing it on his own.

Well worth the 3-0 win and should probably have been more.

Telford unlucky not to get a penalty in that first half.

The midfield trio of Davis, Cooper and Reynolds were really solid.

David Davis MOTM for me. Lovely controlled performance and you can really see that he’s played at a higher level at times. The drop of the shoulder and calmness on the ball is great to see. Got to get Cooper signed up for the season.

Enjoyable game.

As a few have said, I was expecting more home fans. Did the club do enough to promote the game?

By the third time he was clearly very frustrated. He's staying wide to offer the option of a pass but there's no point if the others ignore him. The combination of Digger's pinpoint cross and Devine's volley for the third goal proved how potent having him out there can be; let's hope they make more of him in the future.
