We're in the seats too.

Are you assuming Amaluzor is injured?

Yes, he went off early in Warmup v Gateshead for treatment, he definitely was not 100%. So I assume will be out for a week or two.

Like others say, game of 2 halves, the part timers flagged and we capitalised, assisted by the weather somewhat. They burnt out.

5 cup finals left, need a win at Kiddy to keep pressure on others. won't be easy. Going there for the first time in over 35 years, blimey.

Aside from the opening 30 minutes or so, I thought that Gateshead were the better team and ultimately deserved their victory.

We really struggled to get going in that second half and our defending was well below its customary standard this season. Two uncharacteristically poor headers by Jake Cooper which teed up their second and third goals.

Superb strike from Dan Mooney, but their debutant in goal largely had very little to do. The introduction of Linney for Kosylo came far too late, to my mind.

What troubles me is that Gateshead exhibited far more facets to their game overall. Yes, we are fully aware that they can play it out from the back and always have good technical players in midfield who can pass the ball around nicely, but they were also not afraid to be more direct (as demonstrated by their first goal).

We rarely take the opportunity to put a speculative cross into the opposition penalty area, after which we might profit from a defensive error. I can't help but feel that on too many occasions we overelaborate and appear to be on a mystical quest to score the 'perfect' goal.

Ironically, Alex Newby's goal did result from an enforced 'route one' punt from Ethan Ross, which their defender duly made a complete hash of.

I thought that the booing of Dinanga when he was being substituted was rather uncalled for. If he scores the winning goal for Gateshead in their forthcoming FA Trophy Semi-Final against Macc, I will consider crowdfunding for a statue of him to be erected on George Street.

Good points, you miss the effect of the wind, that alone was worth a goal or more per half, they used it better than us, Baines for there first was done by the wind for the cross, then Cooper twice could not clear the ball as he headed upwards the ball stalled and 2 goals on a plate. We really need to learn from this, header need to go to the side or for a corner. For there third we never marked the goal scorer who just came on.

Massive game v Weaalstonr now. A must win.. Hopfully Eddie will be back. We miss marriott, Eliiott was overloaded on saturday and pressure showed. Linney up top as well.

Good game, Ethan superb at the beginning and throughout the game. Baines was immense. Wilson looked good. Grew into game and created plenty of chances. CCC took goal well. Good to see extended highlights, thanks Alty TV.

Great playing surface, wish ours was that good.

On the red card, I thought it was red, dangerous uncontrolled challenge, can't do that these days. Some get given, some don't as others included Parky have said. Went in our favour for a change.

BW-1-1 Alty (Newby)

Why change a winning lineup, I would go with same starting 11 as Tuesday night if all fit and get at them.

Like others, now hoping we make the playoffs. We can sneak in but our form needs to go on upward trajectory and hope others falter. Come on Alty
