PENN’S WRITE WAY FORWARD

RUSSELL PENN said Kidderminster will be bold despite four West Ham scouting missions.

The sixth-tier National League North side are 112 places below the Hammers and have played seven Cup ties to set-up Saturday’s 6,000 sell-out at home to David Moyes’ men in the fourth round.

Moyes has sent technical advisor Alan Irvine to watch the Harriers, while first-team coach

Stuart Pearce has also been to their last three games.

“We will have a game plan and have got to be pro-active,” said Penn, 36. “We are at home and are not going to put 10 men behind the ball, I will tell you that now.

“We have to give it a go because otherwise we will be disappointed at the end of the game. I always say to the lads to not have any regrets.

“Hopefully we will get some half decent chances and ball time. But we will have to do a lot of work without the ball because we are playing an elite side.

“Our supporters have gone through the mill since we dropped out of the Football League in 2005. I just hope I can help write a little bit of history.”
