This is encouraging.  A Gateshead fan lives near to me, who goes up to watch them regularly.  (He had seen my GTFC stickers in the car on the driveway).  

He has been telling me how they are struggling for players.  I took it with a pinch of salt at this stage of the season.  Most teams are struggling a bit and have tired players.  

Today (Thu) he has emailed me with the the latest injury/suspension report.  This is shown below:  (Assuming it is true, It is a lot better for us than Gateshead having a fully-fit squad).

"We are down to the bare bones. We literally have a full team of first team players out. We have a striker playing centre-half, emergency loan 20 yr old keeper and a bunch of 17 year olds on the bench.  We now have to play two games a week. Our latest loan signing went and got himself a red card so he's out for 3 games. It's a miracle we are picking up anything.

I can't say that I'm looking forward to the trip to Grimsby".  (My comment: Jon Shaw is the good striker playing at the back from what I can make out).

No sympathy for them at all, sh/t pitch doesnt help them with fixtures and probably causing injuries in some instances i imagine, the amount of falling over they do probably causes additional wear and tear on their bodies.
I did read last week that John Shaw had played centre half and was apparently decent, ala Gary Jones & Gary Birtles.

They'll probably be motivated to play out of their skins. Let's not get too hopeful about this - we've seen it happen before down here with teams scraping the barrel for fit players.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
