Next up on the road for The Heed is a 404-mile round trip from Gateshead to Damson Park, home of Solihull Moors, on Saturday, February 22 (3pm kick off).

Gateshead made it back-to-back wins inside five days with a 3-1 victory on the road at Solihull Moors.
Jovan Malcolm’s fourth goal in as many games opened the scoring four minutes in, before two second half penalties from Luke Hannant wrapped up three points, despite Fletcher Holman’s injury time consolation.
Carl Magnay made two changes following Tuesday’s 4-3 win over Sutton United, one enforced via injury as Harrison Bond replaced George Shelvey in goal, while Will McGowan slotted in for Ben Worman in midfield.
Malcolm almost continued his hot run of form within one minute of the opening whistle when he connected with Hannant’s cross into the box, only to be denied by a smart save from Moors goalkeeper Ollie Wright.
The forward made no mistake when he opened the scoring three minutes later though, latching onto Tyrell Sellars-Fleming’s lay-off near the halfway line before charging towards the edge of the box and sending a deflected shot over Wright and into the back of the net.
Gateshead remained in control for much of the first 45 and limited Solihull’s attacking threat, though were only able to briefly test Wright in the hosts’ goal as he held a 20-yarder from Sellars-Fleming.
The first talking point of the second 45 came 13 minutes in, as Malcolm charged half the length of the pitch on the left flank before being cut down in the box by James Clarke for a penalty.
Hannant did see his initial spot kick saved by Wright, only to be spared by the referee ordering a re-take, which saw the wing-back slot into the bottom-left corner for his 11th goal of the season.
Malcolm came close once more when he broke into the box from the left wing and saw his cross tipped against the post by Wright, but the third would take until the 84th minute to arrive, by virtue of another spot kick.
This time it was Jean Belehouan who earned it having been hauled down from a set-piece by John Bostock, allowing Hannant to rifle into the roof of the net to make it three on the day and 12 for the season for himself.
Ben Worman came off the bench to almost add a fourth, but for Wright’s fingertip save from 20 yards, while at the other end Solihull grabbed a goal back on the counter as Holman slotted past Bond at the far post.
The scoreline ended in Gateshead’s favour for the second time this week however, lifting Magnay’s side to fourth in the Vanarama National League table.
