Manager's Preview: Gateshead away

Speaking in his pre-match press conference at The Attis Arena, Andy Butler cut a confident but respectful figure as he assessed the challenge ahead. "We back ourselves against anyone at the moment," Butler told the assembled media.

The manager confirmed he has a fully fit squad to choose from. "Competition for places is exactly what you want as a manager."

Butler also reflected on the outstanding away form his side have produced this season. "We've developed a real resilience and belief away from home."

"We're taking it one game at a time, but we know where we want to be. The target hasn't changed."
