MANAGER Gary Whild feels Harriers’ final testing games of the season will be the perfect learning experience.

While mid-table Kidderminster have nothing to play for they face three teams striving for promotion or survival.

Saturday’s opponents Welling are fourth from bottom and looking to escape the relegation zone in the Vanarama Conference.

Harriers welcome Braintree to Aggborough on April 18, who looking to win the league and seal automatic promotion to the Football League.

Gary Whild’s side will then end the campaign at Eastleigh, who are chasing the play-offs.

"It's funny but we're playing teams who have much to play for, so it's good not to have any dead rubbers,” said the manager.

"It means the young lads have competitive games to learn and improve from which is important.

"Welling is another team on Saturday, who are fighting for survival."

Harriers will be without midfielder Aman Verma for the rest of the season because of a broken bone in his foot, while Jack Byrne remains a doubt with a persistent hamstring issue.

The manager may call upon the likes of Luke Maxwell, George Foryth, James Fry and Kennedy Diggie to play in the centre of the pitch.

Meanwhile, Whild has said that left-back Kevin Nicholson understands why he has been on the bench.

The 34-year-old, who is based in Torquay, has not started the last three matches as the Harriers boss runs the rule over the club’s youngsters.

Whild said: "Kevin understands the situation we are in.

"With the way the club's budget could be next season, we may not be able to afford him next season and we have to look at alternative options.

"To be fair to him, he's drives a long way and spend several days a week in Kidderminster."
