| There were 700 Harriers fans at Edgar Street on Boxing Day |
After 3-1 defeats against Marine and Spennymoor in February, it appeared Brown - who had been highly regarded in their battle against relegation from non-league's top flight last season - had lost the dressing room. In a post-match interview, the gaffer said the players could have put in a bad performance as they might want him out of the club.
At the time, Harriers had won three of their 10 league games leaving them in eighth, while Hereford had won seven of their 11 and were in the play-off places - but now the Worcestershire side are top of the league.
In a bizarre and long interview in February, Brown openly criticised his players and said how they had embarrassed him and made his life a misery - as well as saying "there's something going on in the changing room" and "like they didn't want me at the football club".
He even said his players had "worn the shirt with no pride whatsoever" and had "no ambition to try and win the game".
But after Good Friday's 2-1 win at relegated Rushall Olympic, Brown said he would have taken this scenario at the start of the season with two games left. If Harriers win both, they cannot be beaten to the title.
The 65-year-old boss, formerly manager at nine clubs including Derby County, Hull City and Southend United, added: “I think most managers would, and it’s one of those where we ask ‘How have we got there?’
“We’ve been there before on a couple of occasions, but how we’ve got there this time is just a level of consistency that’s above and beyond anybody else in the division for about, probably now, 12-13, games.
“That was after a couple of really bad results – Marine where really sticks in my mind, coupled with Spennymoor at home.
“It looked as if our season was coming to a halt, you – coming to an end.
“But I’m not that kind of guy. I refused to accept that. Especially with the amount of points still there – but what the players have done since is nothing short of brilliant.
“It comes down to a couple of new signings coming in, changing the atmosphere in the changing room.
“But the team I’m putting out there week in and week out. I’m quite happy with. If we can manage to do that for another two 90 minutes, then it’ll be our league
“But Monday’s a big test for everybody, we want the supporters bouncing off the rafters.”
Aggborough is sold out for tomorrow's mouth-watering tie. While Harriers fight for the title, the Bulls, full of confidence after Good Friday's 3-0 win over Leamington, need points to secure a place in the play-offs.
The Bulls will be looking for revenge after the side failed to turn up as they were beaten 3-0 in front of 4,925 at Edgar Street on Boxing Day.
