August seems a long way away now, when we went to the NE in our second game of the season and won comfortably at the heed. After an erratic start, the visitors changed manager and under former Halifax boss Aspin have climbed the table to the fringes of the play-offs. Danny Johnson, one of the early Adams loan signings now plays for them.
It doesn't seem like Rovers have picked up any new injuries, so almost a full squad to choose from, assuming Jay Harris is banned for two games. Reservations about Higdon aside, I wouldn't be displeased with starting the same side that won at the Deva, with Hughes in central midfield.
Predictions: Despite their relatively proximity, Gateshead don't travel that well and doubt they'll bring more than 100 in a crowd of about 5k. Likewise their team aren't at the best on the road and my gut feeling is Rovers might edge a tight game
