FORGIVING: Yates was forgiving of last night's showing but wants more thsi weekend.

MANAGER Mark Yates has warned that he expects a much-improved performance on last night's draw at Tamworth when the side visit St. Albans City in the Conference this weekend.

Harriers drew 0-0 at The Lamb in a scrappy affair and whilst results elsewhere mean it was a good point towards the play-off push, it would have been a timely and priceless three had the team managed a win.

Yates, who admitted the players have little left in the tank following the two FA Trophy Semi-Finals and the league fixture with Oxford, revealed after last night's game that he can forgive the performance against Gary Mills' men.

What he won't tolerate, though, is a similar showing at St. Albans on Saturday.

"I can accept tonight but I won't accept it again on Saturday," Yates said following the game.

"It's just not taking enough responsibility and there were a lot of tired legs and a lot of tired minds out there - unfortunately that's what we've got at the moment.

"After the euphoria of Saturday I think it just caught up with one or two.

They'll have a couple of days off and I don't want to be watching those displays again."
