MANAGER Steve Burr believes there's no pressure on his play-off chasing Harriers side after watching them beat Mansfield 2-1 at Field Mill.

Goals for Chris McPhee and Keith Briggs ensured the Aggborough outfit made it 12 Blue Square Bet Premier games unbeaten and tightened their grip on the final play-off spot.

Victory in this noon kick-off put the onus back on the sides still chasing a top five place and only two of the chasing pack, Fleetwood and York, managed to pick up all three points against Hayes and Yeading and Histon respectively.

Meanwhile, Grimsby were held by Tamworth, while Darlington suffered a surprise home loss to Altrincham.

Afterwards, Burr was relaxed about his side's mental health with seven games of the season left.

He said: "From our point of view there's no pressure whatsoever.

"You could see against Mansfield we went out there and played with the freedom to do what we wanted.

"We're just delighted with the way they're performing."

Harriers produced a slew of chances, particularly in a dominant first start and Matty Blair, Tom Shaw and Nick Wright were all thwarted by Mansfield keeper David Grof.

"I was particularly pleased with the first half, how we weren't more ahead than 1-0 at half-time I don't know," commented the manager.

"We knew they would come at us in the second half but if was nice to see Keith Briggs get the second one and gave us a bit of a cushion.

"We were a little bit disappointed we didn't go into half-time with a bigger lead but we'd take that win.

"With Mansfield looking forward to a trip to Wembley it is a difficult place to come but I thought we were excellent."

There one was moment of contention in the second half when Mark Albrighton caught Niall O'Rafferty right at the start of the move which lead to Briggs' goal. However, while the Stags man needed treatment, he did not sustain a head injury and the referee did not stop play.

Burr felt the home fans, who were incensed by the official's decision, had nothing to moan about.

He added: "I thought the build up to Keith Briggs' goal was tremendous.

"I think they were moaning that their lad got injured but saying that we broke away and virtually scored straight away, so we didn't see any problem with that at all. It wasn't a head injury, it wasn't as if the game had to be stopped. There was some flowing football and we managed to score."
