The Harriers play the final game of the holiday period tomorrow when we face, a hopefully hung over, Forest Green for the return game of the Boxing Day draw.  We ended up sharing the spoils after taking the lead twice during that game and will be hoping to go one better this time and give the fans a New Year treat of all three points.

Stuart Whitehead will be back for us and, after initially thinking that Andy Ferrell and Justin Richards wouldn't be available, a full team to choose from.  This won't be the case next week when we travel to York City because we'll be without those two as well as Russ Penn and James Constable after they too picked up their fifth bookings of the season at Oxford on Saturday.

Scott Bevan took a bang on the chin during that game but will be fit to play.

Forest Green took all three points from their game against Droylsden on Saturday and will be hoping to do the same against us.  They have minor injury worries over Jamie Pitman with his continuing hamstring injury and Alex Lawless is doubtful with a minor ankle problem.

We've played better in these last two games than we have for a long time and should really have won them both.  It's going to be tough but I think we'll beat FGR tomorrow and end the Christmas celebrations on a high note.
