Gateshead
LLLWWL
After a losing effort in their last game against York City in National League action, Gateshead and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
The only name on the scoresheet from Gateshead was Luke Hannant (11'). Ashley Nathaniel-George (36'), Junior Luamba (74') and Malachi Fagan-Walcott (85') scored for York City.
The numbers tell their own story, and Gateshead have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 14 goals in total. In defence, Gateshead certainly have room for improvement. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, though.
