Kidderminster off to 'great start' despite defeats
· Yahoo Sports
Kidderminster Harriers boss Paul Wotton has said successive losses do not take too much away from his side's "great start" to the National League season.
Harriers, in their first year back in the fifth tier after securing promotion in May, lost their opening game of the campaign at Hornchurch before going on an eight-match unbeaten run.

Two straight defeats to Yeovil Town and Boreham Wood have held them in check but Kidderminster are still ninth in the table and only four points off second spot.
"We've had a tremendous start - 11 games and 18 points," Wotton told BBC Hereford & Worcester. "Now it's [about] reminding the players and going over the stuff that got us that start.
"It's not about ripping the playbook up. It's about staying really positive."
Wotton, who took charge in the summer following Adam Murray's exit to Barrow, added: "We've played 11 games and lost three of them. If you lose your first, then your sixth and then your 11th, everyone still says it's a great start, so it is a great start.
"We've just played two fantastic teams. We went toe-to-toe with Yeovil and I believe we should have won the game, or definitely not lost it, and [against Boreham Wood] we've come here and tried to be very brave. We've come up against a better team."
Boreham Wood narrowly missed out on promotion to League Two last season and Tuesday's 3-1 victory took them seven points clear at the top of the National League.
"It's a big learning curve for us," said Wotton. "We're still very new and losing away to Boreham Wood doesn't define our season.
"I have to say - I don't see how they don't win the league."
