Gateshead 1 Chippenham Town 0
Date: Tuesday 19th January 2010, by Tynesider
Graeme Armstrong brought relief by hitting the only goal of the game on the hour mark as the Tynesiders made it through to the last 16 of the FA Trophy. Gateshead will travel to Barrow on Saturday the 30th of January in the 3rd Round.
With a lot of our fans recently suffering from the disease known as plot rot, a Tuesday night Trophy tie against unfashionable opposition saw us back to a Unibond sized crowd (lowest of the season). Chippenham started the brighter of the two teams, closing Gateshead down and hassling us into mistakes which saw them come close on a couple of occassions.
After weathering this early period, Gateshead looked the better side without really threatening much. Daryl Clare nearly got his head to a good cross from the right, and good work from Graeme Armstrong saw the recalled Turnbull force the bluebirds keeper into a save.
After poor first half, Phil Cave didn't emerge for the second with Mark Robinson coming on to fill the problematic left-back slot. Gateshead came out the better side, and there only ever looked to be one winner, with Armstrong getting that goal on 59 minutes after good work by Turnbull and McDermott.
Clare, Gate and Richardson went on to test the Chippenam keeper, but one goal was enough to see us through. As they say job done, move on.
Gateshead: Farman; Baxter, Curtis, Williams, Cave (Robinson); McDermott (Richardson), Gate (Francis), Turnbull, Phillips; Armstrong, Clare
Subs unused: Provett, Baptist
Window movement
On Monday Ian Bogie told the local press he wanted two in before the Luton game at the weekend, so we await incoming movement.
Both Carl Jones and Jamie Harwood are expected to go out on-loan, with Alfreton Town said to be sniffing around Harwood. Jones suitors are unknown, but with Blythe's recent bad form and injuries at the back coupled with the fact Tait and Platten took a long look at Jones in the reserve match with Darlington, there maybe a strong chance he heads there to get some match sharpness.
