Watson: Confident Gateshead Can Aim Big

After getting through to the FA Trophy last eight with a win over Maidstone United, Gateshead can now focus on the league for a few games as they look to climb the table with matches in hand, writes Tom Feaheny.

"The confidence is there for the side, we are on a good unbeaten run and are looking to build on that," Watson told the club's website.

"It is a time to start believing, we are really confident right now, we are not losing games, we have a good strength in depth."

Looking at their Trophy win at home the 3-0 victory was pleasing for the boss due to conceding no goals.

"Defensively we were excellent, the three centre-backs were strong and covered each other, we won a lot of second balls, I'm delighted with the clean sheet.

"We have a good back-line and took our chances as well and they are the key elements you look to build on and we are doing just that."
