Craig Nelthorpe is set to return to the starting line up after returning from his three match suspension.
Nelly’s return will hopefully give some fresh idea’s in the attacking side of the Tynesiders game, with his darting run with the ball and great crosses.
Nelly’s return will see either Wayne Phillips or Davie Southern maybe loose a place in the starting line up, or maybe we will see a change in formation to accommodate both players.
Stafford face a long mid week trip after the original fixture was called of two Saturdays ago due to a waterlogged pitch at the International Stadium.
Stafford Rangers manager Steve Bull will be looking to take his side into the top four with a victory over Gateshead, But Ian Bogie will have their own ideas about taking Gateshead up to a possible 9th place in the Conf north table with a two victory.
Bogie and Wrightson will be hoping Kris Gate (pictured) can carry his good form from Saturdays game into Wednesday nights match. Kris was box to box against Telford and will be a integral part of the Heed midfield this season.
