Guessing we're missing Bagley, Furman, Pringle and Lietch-Smith.
The incentive for both sides is huge, but we have too much for them.

Baggley is away with the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad.
He was an unused substitute for them against Lithuania yesterday and they are scheduled to play against Malta on Tuesday evening.

PP said that Mooney got half a game for reserves so hopefully he'll be on the bench.
Wasn't Pringle's red 2 yellows and doesn't that mean he is now available?If so I would start him.

If we play with the tempo of the 1st half and last 20 mins of yesterday's game we should be good.

I was just about to ask where we were up to with Dan Mooney. He’s been out key player this season
Edit: but good we’re starting to get players back and I’d start Pringle because he’s more settled into our system than the new lads if nothing else.
-
I thought Pringles' suspended game was the Gateshead game
-
I think Gateshead's defence will have a difficult time on Tuesday 5 2
-
We have some of our first pick back, playing on a better surface. We have reasons to be confident, but no excuse for complacency. Play as we can, and we'll just edge home, 2 1.

I don’t know the answer to this but on a slightly related note we have lost out in the past on a bumper pay day from a televised game.
I believe our tie v Crewe Alexandra in 1996 was due to be televised but it was postponed due to Neil Lennon being missing for Crewe. To play for Northern Ireland funnily enough.
He played (excellently) in their eventual 2-0 win.
I think there were some other Crewe players in that team that went onto better things. Danny Murphy? Robbie Savage? Craig Hignett? Mark Rivers? Colin Little?
I think? I could be talking out of my arse here…
-
1973 crowd . Karate 35 attendees . Alty win 3 1 in normal time . No £1 pies
-
Perhaps we could gainfully employ the karate folks when we’re ready to demolish the perimeter walls. Would be good for the environment, Greta Thumberg may become a Patron next season 😂😂
-
Altrincham 2-1 Gateshead a nervy victory infront of a near sell out crowd with alty fans housed on both chequers end and the golf road as the 87 gateshead are housed in the family stand roaring
The team on from each end
-
Yep, it’ll be nervy with what’s at stake but I think Saturday was a proper return to form for us after all the injuries/covid and resembling a more regular team as well. Attendance wise I’d heard we’d sold about 1000 by last night with under 50 from Gateshead so stick them in half the family stand or something, we should get both ends of the ground. Reckon if ticket sales continue as they have done we’ll be on for a similar gate to Saturday, 2500ish.

Tom Hannigan seemed to be in some pain when he came off on Saturday. I suspect it's his dodgy back (with which I can unfortunately empathise) and hope he's fit enough to start on Tuesday. I'd certainly start Whitehead, who impressed me on Saturday. Is Brad Jackson injured ?

Jackson did his hamstring at Southport.

Capacity is reduced again tomorrow to 2,344
Match is all ticket and away supporters will be in the family stand.
Tickets on sale until 5pm tomorrow.

@Cult - How many players have we lost due to international duty?
I'm struggling to think of a precedent.
If there is one, it would have to be something ultra obscure, such as Lee Ramoon being away on international duty for the Cayman Islands in 1994.
I don't think that Danny Higginbotham was with us long enough for any international call-up by Gibraltar to interrupt his fleeting Alty playing career!
-
Potentially a pivotal day for the club.
Come on Alty.
-
Would be happy with the same XI from Saturday, not sure if Porter is permitted to play for us and with returning players, that might be one change.
Tom Hannigan would be a huge miss again, I sincerely hope he's available. He's also going to be a huge player to try to replace permanently, I'm dreading it.
Come on lads.

Come on lads.
Porter, along with the three other current loanees, featured in the original Gateshead match and so is available tonight.
-
Incidentally, Whitehead joined us on a month-long loan on October 15th so he may now have gone back to Port Vale unless we've extended the loan.

Something tells me Marc Joseph played for Antigua and Barbuda during his time here but that's a hunch.
-
Right team playing and a decent bench. Hopefully the fans there can still make the lads feel at home. Cmon ALTY
-
Someone didn’t pay the Spotify bill. Do we really need to hear ads at half time?
-
Just gave away stupid goals; so very disappointing, especially missing out on the ££££ when we need them
-
Spineless
-
Really poor performance tonight. Never got going, passing was woeful and we never looked like winning. Not sure what the Porter offers that makes him a starter in the team when we have the likes of Ben Pringle on the bench.
Weird atmosphere in the ground as well. Shame that half the ground was closed just when we needed the Golf Road noise most.

This....did their keeper make a save, take a catch
-
I think we've flattered to deceive this season and we're now being found out.
Hard to express how devastated I feel now.
-
Nothing really felt right tonight. Dreamland for the the Gateshead fans who made the trip. Good luck to them and let's hope this ground issue is resolved soon.
-
Better team won. They closed us down and pressed us throughout and we played poorly.
One of our worst displays for a while and even worse than when we had 14 players out. Far too many stray passes, even our first goal was a gift from their keeper.
-
That was poor from us tonight. We seemed flat, passing off and never really got going. No doubt the better team won. Weymouth on Saturday is a very big game for me right now. I think the nonsense from Trafford for another thread.
-
Absolute tripe. We didn't deserve anything. Nobody really comes out of that debacle with any credit, but Fitzpatrick was particularly awful. Tom Peers at least put in a shift, and what PP hoped to achieve by putting on Dinanga in his place I really don't know. The revenue we've lost tonight is a major setback, but that's secondary to the appalling display from the team.
-

I think we are where we are this season based on a good start to the season .Just like we are out of the FA cup because we were not good enough . My bigger worry now is the total loss of atmosphere in the ground and the 100k revenue loss to start to sort It
-
Can’t even begin to describe my disappointment at tonight. We were gifted a goal to keep us in the game and still threw it away in one of our worst performances this season. I don’t fault the effort or the endeavour from the lads, who I’m sure are giving it their all, but we were terrible tonight. Bright parts included our second goal where we were actually looking quite dominant until the mistake but we looked vulnerable in defence all evening.
I know we didn’t really have a choice either but it was a real disadvantage to have us all on the Hale End whilst the Gateshead fans had the family stand. No one can really get an atmosphere going on there. Fair play to them they were good value but it’s hard to be complimentary after that. Gutted isn’t the word.
-
Embarrassing. Not much more to say. Can’t even really say that Gateshead played wildly well. It looked like someone’s first go on FIFA.
-
Speachless tbh. After a battling display on Saturday to that 1/2 arsed effort. We really don't cope well when teams press the fuk out of us.
Looked like we might get away with when Mooney and Pringle came on.
Didn't deserve the win and questions need asking, Can't remember the last time we won a match with or without the quality players we do have.
-
Result was inevitable from the moment we were drawn at home in the next round. Was never going to be us playing Charlton
-
They actually played well
Yes we were quite abject but they defended very vigorously and never really let our players control the ball get their heads up...anything really.
The Gateshead fitness levels were exceptional
-
That two footed challenge looked pretty shocking but I was miles away. Was it as dangerous as it seemed?
-
Gateshead were so much fitter than us and deserved it.
All the team were poor but Porter, Fitzpatrick and Kosylo were especially awful.
Terrible week or so for the club but they need to act. We need an update and they need get workmen in and cracking on from first light each day.
We needed that TV money more than ever and we completely blew up.
Thought PP was brave starting the same 11 when they put so much into Sat. Whitehead should have started over Porter for one change.
A lot wrong about tonight.

I thought Hancock was our worse player tonight and that took some doing
-
The better team by a mile absolutely panned the arse off us - not much else to say really.

We were made to look poor by a team who thoroughly deserved to win. I would imagine they’ll give Charlton a game too. I’ll take a scrappy win from wherever we can over the next few fixtures…
Gutted. I love the FA Cup.
-
Gateshead saw us off, no doubt about it. Their determination to press up and give us no space to work in, was exactly the opposite of what we did. Alarmingly, we appeared to have no other thought than to stick with a system that evidently was not working.
I’ve no doubt that the disruption caused by TBC’s extraordinary mishandling of the ground capacity issue will have distracted and unsettled the players, however, we have to accept that we were v v poor across the pitch tonight.
Absolutely gutted.

A splendid synopsis of a hugely dispiriting evening for the club on so many levels. The outcome just about capped off what has surely been the most wretched few days in our recent history since the nadir of the descent into the Evo-Stik League.
Let's be brutal, we were fortunate even to secure a replay in the first place.
Gateshead have manifestly been the better side over the 180 minutes of this cup-tie and they deserved their victory, harrowing as that mistake from Hannigan and the ensuing 91st-minute winning goal was. They pressed us and we simply couldn't cope. We were abject.
I was astonished that Porter got the nod to start ahead of the likes of Pringle, Whitehead and Walker.
Hampson needs to rush back and replace the ponderous Fitzpatrick ASAP.
Dinanga or Peers? Well, someone else actually...please.
We urgently need some transparency and details from the board of directors as to what exactly has unfolded at the club in recent days and how we intend to climb out of this abyss.
I'd even consider buying ourselves more time to address some of the ongoing issues with the ground and stewarding by switching our next scheduled home game against Southend United to Roots Hall instead.
It will be very interesting to see what measures Parkinson opts to take in order to facilitate us bouncing back from such a body blow.
Worst birthday present ever.
-
All in all, a truly wretched week for the club - but we've had them before and been stronger for it.
Full credit must go to Gateshead before I start a big moan - they were easily the better side and I wish them the best of luck against Charlton.
I'll echo the points about the fact we needed a bit more experience in the middle of the park - with the exception of Fitzpatrick who has had a very good career but looks prone to an absolute skinning every time he's faced up with a winger - a lot of conceded goals seem to come in from that side.
Surely in the short term we should be looking at Josh Hancock up front again - we have plenty of options now at No10 and at least Josh knows where the net is.
-
Hancock as a false 9 definitely 100%. It is so frustrating to encounter these CN teams who have better target men than us - first Carver at Southport, then Langstaff at Gateshead.
Where is Hampson? Where are Furman and Leitch-Smith? I know about Jackson, but what has happened to the other players who would have made a difference last night?
Yes. Certainly, the fans need to know the details behind the capacity reductions. Is there a conspiracy against us?
I think it is time to remove some of the deadwood - either the loanees not working out, or some of our regular absentees (if we can). Also, a temporary groundshare must be a serious option right now while things get sorted.
There's a real danger that a season which promised so much, slips away from us.
-
I don't think a groundshare would achieve much to be honest. We'd loose all the casual support and probably end up with 1000 supporters and a rental bill.
-
One other gripe: why on earth wasn't a steward posted to patrol the Popular Side last night in order to deal with incidents when the ball went onto the terraces?
Watching our players clamber over the perimeter fencing to retrieve the ball was embarrassing. Amateurish stuff.
Amidst all the post-match ire, despair and angst, I confess there is a part of me that is somewhat relieved that our current mortifying shortcomings off the pitch won't now be exposed live on national TV on 3rd December.

Not really sure why I watched that. Perhaps just checking it wasn’t all just a bad dream.
-
Not a great night for Tom Hannigan.
-
Agreed. I think that is the worst I have ever seen him play. I don't think that he has recovered from injury.
We will just have to make do with the FA Trophy and a playoff final both at Wembley.

Why climb the fence isn't there gates every few feet on the new fence that was put in.
Stewards retrieving balls from what i hear they needed to be showing TBC they could do their job dealing with the crowd.

What about the 10 ground staff stood on the GRE

Hannigan has been an absolute colossus this season so far; a terrible night to have an off game but it is what it is.
As for players leaping into the stands, this is the one thing I can't look past now I've calmed down. If it's not for the stewards to do, then fair enough, but someone should have been in there.

Would have capped off our week nicely if a player had pulled a muscle climbing the fence.

100% agree about hannigan. One time he makes team of the week and it curses him next time out.
Surly we could have coersted a few of reserves/youth team players to patrol empty stands

I had forgot about this coupled with our inability to close the keeper down as well it really was the pits last night

Bradford and Exeter have to replay their game: do we know if Gateshead had an ineligible player or anything?
Asking, in desperation, for a friend!
