The Heed have now not won a National League match since November. They are now only seven points from the relegation places after their bad run.

It’s a far cry from great start Gateshead got off to under Watson when he replaced Neil Aspin in October.

Now the boss wants warriors and a quick resolution to the team’s slide down the National League table.

“We’re in a bit of a slump and we now need to do something about it,” said the manager. “We’ve got a massive game at Guiseley coming up and we’ve got to get back to winning ways.

“We need to do a lot better than we’re doing, that’s for sure. There was a lack of responsibility out there and the goals we’re letting in aren’t good enough.

“There appeared to be a lack of confidence and we have to find some and quickly. It’s a worry but we’ve got to go to Guiseley on Tuesday and restore some belief.”
