Opposition: Tomorrows opponents Gateshead currently occupy 10th spot in the Vanarama Conference table having gathered 50 points so far this season. The Heed have however played five games less than the Gas due to their run in the FA Trophy and fixture postponements. Gateshead picked up their first home win since October in their last outing (Tuesday night) with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Kidderminster Harriers.
Dangerman - Alex Rodman: The 28 striker arrived in Gateshead in the summer signing from Conference rivals Grimsby on a free transfer having scored 7 goals in 41 appearances for the Town. Since joining the Heed Rodman has already beaten his tally from last season finding the back of the net on 8 occasions in 30 games so far this season, most recently in Tuesday nights 2-0 over Kiddy.
Last Time Out: The last time these two sides played was under the floodlights and in front of the TV cameras at the Memorial Stadium when Stuart Sinclair's second half strike secured all three points for Darrell Clarke's men in a 3-2 victory.
