MANAGER Gary Whild will assess his sparse forward options ahead of tomorrow's Vanrama Conference clash at second-placed Grimsby Town.

Harriers only have two recognised strikers in Craig Reid and Reece Hales after Nathan Blissett sealed a move to Bristol Rovers.

The club may look at Ahmed Obeng or Marvin Johnson playing up front.

Reece Styche has one more week left on his loan at Tamworth, so will miss the Grimsby game and the home clash with Wrexham.

However, Whild is not expected to recall the on-loan Freddie Ladapo, who is settled in his native London and playing well for Grays Athletic.

The club have also signed highly-rated Oxford United defender Sam Long.

Whild said: "We've got Craig Reid, Ahmed Obeng, Reece Hales and Marvin Johnson, who can all play in the forward roles so we'll have to see."

Harriers face a Grimsby side which have lost just once in the last ten league games.

Jared Hodgkiss is back from suspension and Jamie Grimes is set to play in central defence after Chey Dunkley's move to Oxford United.
