Gateshead are the best side I've watch Rovers play in the past 2/3 seasons. The whole side look comfortable on the ball and play decent football. It's going to be a long night for Rovers! They're OK and they knock it around quite well and Oster gives them a bit of extra quality from deep. But we're making them look good here. Giving them acres of space and struggling to string 2 passes together. It's because they knock the ball around so well the other facts may come to light. We are struggling because they are so comfortable with the ball. When we do get the ball Gateshead close down and the pass isn't there. A very good side Gateshead. |

Mchrystal hits the bar. Let's hope the next 45 minutes is more fruitful.

If we can make it to HT at 0 - 1 then there's every chance we can turn it around second half. That's the spirit mate,I'm with you. |

We are struggling because they are so comfortable with the ball. When we do get the ball Gateshead close down and the pass isn't there. A very good side Gateshead. Well I think we came out flat and didn't get tight enough early enough and have played scared ever since. Their confidence was built up by that which helped their passing game. So it's probably a bit of both but I'm not prepared to give them that much credit because we were just flat out awful for that first 25 - just as bad as were v Bath City. To be fair since Clarke's come on with the extra man in the centre we've come into it more and they've had less space to wang it around so there may be hope for the second half. I think Gateshead are solid but I don't see anything particularly spectacular there; they don't pass it with any great pace as far as I can see and most of their threat has been well worked cross field balls over the back of the centre backs. I also think their Centre-halfs look slow and hopefully we can exploit that and come storming back. |

I enjoyed Danny Higginbotham checking his notes to see if we had anyone with any pace on the bench!

Gateshead not being rushed at all, from the keeper through the team, very comfortable on the ball, will take an over the top ball to bring a mistake from their back line, like where Wall had his chance[watching from the computer] but can.t see where a goal is coming from,

What is so obvious to me is we are completely devoid of any pace their centre backs are there to be exploited can't anyone in our coach staff see this or are they playing candy crush

I'm not listening live so can't tell but last ten appeared more positive. the whole 45 mins was terrible At least the last 5 mins were OK, another 45 like that and we might snatch a draw, another like the first 40 and DC will be under real pressure this festive season. |

Yes this is a big 45 - DC deserves credit for the way he changed it because it did make a difference but we need to turn it around here. |
