Tigers learning from mistakes
GLOUCESTER City are back on the road tonight for their Blue Square North fixture away at Eastwood.
With a full strength squad to pick from manager Dave Mehew is looking to learn from mistakes made last time the teams met.

Eastwood beat the Tigers 3-1 at home back in August and Mehew said his team were now picking up the tricks of the trade in Blue Square North.
He said: "Against Gainsborough we showed we had learned from the last match and we have to do that again.
"Last time we had problems defending from set pieces and we have improved in that area and we need to get stuck in in midfield which we did not do last time."
Defender Tom Hamblin, who had been nursing a groin injury in Saturday's victory, has declared himself fit for the match giving Mehew a full squad to pick from.
He said: "I can't think of many times this season when I have been able to pick exactly the same team two games in a row.
"James Palmer is available again after his suspension."
The Eastwood match is the second of a run of three midweek away ties for the Tigers and Mehew said while it was not ideal the travelling had not affected the team.
He said: "We had three missing last week but we have known about this match since the beginning of the season.
"There was always going to be the odd Tuesday night trip," he said. "It should not be too much of a problem, we have another trip next week then we have a Saturday off."
With a handful of loyal fans expected to make the trip to Eastwood, Mehew paid tribute to the supporters who have endured recent trips to Lowestoft and Truro on Tuesday nights.
He added that the home support on Saturday at the Corinium Stadium had also been a vital factor in helping the team secure a 1-0 win despite Matt Rose's 47th minute red card.
He said: "I was very impressed with the way the fans got behind the team on Saturday.
"They were clever, they could see we were under pressure and trying to keep our shape to maintain the lead and they got right behind us.
"It really helped the spirit, it was a decent atmosphere.
"Fairplay to them and to the ones who will be coming up to Eastwood, it will be good to hear them cheering in the crowd."

“Agreed Darran. In a lot of League 2 and BS Prem crowds there may well be ten times the fans but not the noise.
Always nice to hear creative chants as well, rather than the "Glawwwwwwwwsteeeeer" one that has given the rugby fans their nationwide reputation for 'wit'.”

“Well you were not there were you Nick so how would you know how much noise we created? Trust me it was more than much larger crowds would because we get behind our team whereas a lot of football fans just watch in silence.”

“I fully agree with Boris' sentiments about the vocal support on saturday. I was in the opposite stand and thought how much easier it would've been for Trinity had the atmosphere been flat.
Well done to those fans, more of the same and more of those fans please!”
