ADAM Murray felt Kidderminster Harriers ‘did not do enough with the ball’ following a home draw against Chester.
A stunner from Charlie Cooper put Harriers ahead only for Finley Shrimpton’s equaliser to earn the visitors a point at Aggborough.
The result leaves Kidderminster fourth in the National League North table ahead of a run of five consecutive away games.
And Murray could not hide his frustration at the nature of the goal his side conceded against Chester.
Murray said: “I’m disappointed by the manner of the goal we conceded. That’s my biggest frustration.
“That’s the first time I’ve seen a Chester team come and play for a point and fair play to them.
“They were waiting for one of our mistakes and within that we didn’t do enough with the ball.
“The pitch played a big part in our flow. It’s so dry and bobbly that is has an affect on the way we play.
“But we didn’t do enough with the ball. They were hard to break down because the tempo was so slow.
“It’s a good point on the board and we move in the right direction.”
The Harriers boss also felt the stop-start nature of the game did not aid his side’s chances of taking the points.
However, Murray acknowledged Harriers must find a way to break teams down when playing against a side with a low block.
Murray added: “They did the dark arts of the game and in those games you need a strong referee.
“And we didn’t get one, we got a naive one. Every time we were on an attack, they go down and he blows his whistle.
“You don’t need any qualifications for that, it’s just common sense and that stopped us getting a rhythm and a flow.
“We’ve had a penalty [not given] that’s a penalty. It was going to take a moment of magic to break the deadlock because there were so many bodies in front of the goal.
“That’s a challenge we’ve got to find solutions for as a team and we will, we’ve found solutions all season.”
Kidderminster are next in action against Chorley on Tuesday, March 17 with kick-off at 7.45pm at Victory Park.
