Looked a good, open game.  Chances at both ends during a goalless first half. Static central defending by Alty for the opening goal.  Both Robins' goals came from pressurising the Heed defence and following up for the rebounds.  Glorious chance to make it three on 5:48.  The Gateshead equaliser was coming - they had two near misses before the late goal.  Alty guilty of giving the ball away too much in the closing stages.  Nonetheless, a good point at a difficult venue IMHO.

Good point but those highlights confirmed again that we are useless at defending set pieces or crosses this season.  I just don't understand having all men back for a corner,  every time it comes out to the opposition to put another ball in. It basically gives them two free crosses and on many occasions more, horrible tactic that constantly puts us under pressure..
