    HT: South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    FA Cup: Connor Wickham heads Forest Green into the lead

  2. HALF-TIME

    South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Connor Wickham's header gives Forest Green a 1-0 lead at the break. So far, it's all going the way of the League One visitors.

  3. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Armani Little takes a chance with a shot from distance after Forest Green win a corner. It goes well wide of the post though and doesn't trouble Myles Boney.

  4. 'Shields have to be braver on the ball'

    South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC One

    Kevin Phillips will say at half time that we have to get up the pitch and we have to be braver on the ball.

    But if it's still 1-0 with 20 minutes to go, that's when they can really go for it.

  5. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Forest Green have had five shots on target as it stands to none from the home side.

    What do you think Kevin Phillips will be saying to his side if the scoreline stays as it is at half-time?

  6. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Lewis Thomas comes far out of his goal to clear a long ball from South Shields, a call that - thankfully for Forest Green - he times right.

    He does pull up a bit as he jumps for the ball and then goes down, but eventually gets back up on his feet and back on his goal line.

  7. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Corey O'Keeffe's free-kick comes to nothing this time as South Shields clear the area.

    Still, the traffic is going all one-way at the moment as Regan Hendry then tries to cut inside and takes a shot, it's just miles off target and fires into the stand behind the goal.

  8. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Ten minutes to go to half-time. Forest Green seem happy enough to keep possession and control the tempo at the moment.

    There's a bit of a tussle between Jamille Matt and Mackenzie Heaney on the edge of the box and it goes the visitors' way giving them a free-kick in a dangerous area.

  9. goal

    GOAL: Bradford 0-1 Harrogate

    Matty Daly (9 mins)

    Wouldn't you know, the former Bradford loanee is the one to break the deadlock at Valley Parade.

    The visitors have made the brighter start and Matt Daly puts the Sulphurites ahead by firing in off the inside of the post after good work from Jack Muldoon.

    Four-in-four for him and he's definitely enjoyed celebrating that one infront of the kop end.

  10. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Almost a chance for Michael Woods on the edge of the box, he just gets dispossessed as he's about to spin and fire a shot towards goal.

  11. 'A lovely head of hair'

    Kevin has got a lovely head of hair now. He didn't have that when I was at Derby County with him!

  12. South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    We're half an hour in and South Shields haven't really had a clear-cut chance on goal yet.

    They win a corner but it doesn't get beyond the first Forest Green player in the box.

  13. Delightful ball from O'Keeffe

    South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC One

    What a brilliant goal. What a delightfully worked team goal.

    What a delightful ball from Corey O'Keeffe, who has been Forest Green's best player so far.

    He bends the ball into an area where Connor Wickham only needs to get a touch and there is no chance for Myles Boney

  14. goal

    GOAL: South Shields 0-1 Forest Green Rovers

    Connor Wickham (28 mins)

    What did we say about Corey O'Keeffe...

    Forest Green break again down the right and the winger fires a curling cross into the box that's got pin point accuracy.

    It's fairly straightforward for Connor Wickham then who just has to head it into the net, which he does, for his sixth goal of the season.

    FA Cup: Connor Wickham heads Forest Green into the lead

  15. South Shields 0-0 Forest Green Rovers

    Over halfway in this first half and Forest Green are starting to dominate the ball a lot more.

    Corey O'Keeffe is causing all kinds of problems on the right wing and he sends another excellent cross into the box, which helps set up a corner for the visitors.

    It's not the best set piece though and the ball ends up going out for a goal kick.

  16. Yorkshire derby gets under way

    Bradford 0-0 Harrogate

    Harrogate make the 23 mile journey to West Yorkshire to Valley Parade for a fascinating tie - the first time these teams have ever met in the FA Cup.

    The Bantams are flying high in League Two, 15 places above their neighbours but there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic if you are a fan of the Sulphurites.

    Town had won all four meetings between the sides since they were promoted to the Football League in 2020, including both games at Valley Parade, before City registered their first win at the EnviroVent Stadium early last month.

    The 1911 winners City, managed by Mark Hughes, are winless in five home games in the FA Cup while Town have progressed from the First Round on both occasions since their promotion to League Two.

    City forward Andy Cook has 13 goals already this season while Matty Daly, a former Bantams loanee, is Harrogate’s leading scorer with five, although three of them have come in the last three games.

    Since City won 2-1 at Harrogate they have won only one of the six matches they have played in all competitions, drawing their last three league games. They have also drawn three and lost one of their last four games at Valley Parade.

    Anything can happen in a derby game, right? Routine home win or cup upset? We'll know soon. The game has just kicked off.

  17. South Shields 0-0 Forest Green Rovers

    Jamille Matt was on fire last season for Forest Green, a real target man for the team scoring 20 goals.

    Corey O'Keeffe tries to pick out the centre-forward in the box, he can't quite get his head on the ball this time though and the chance goes begging.

  18. 'You have to create chances'

    South Shields 0-0 Forest Green Rovers

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England defender on BBC One

    The most disappointing thing for Kevin Phillips so far is that they haven't tested Lewis Thomas in the Forest Green goal.

    For all that's good about being organised and being hard to break down, you have to create chances at the other end.

  19. CLOSE!

    South Shields 0-0 Forest Green Rovers

    That would have been a goal to remember from Regan Hendry, if it had found the net.

    Forest Green break down the left and send a cross into the box that picks out the midfielder. He dives and acrobatically kicks the ball over his head, but it isn't quite on target and rolls wide.

  20. South Shields 0-0 Forest Green Rovers

    Dylan Mottley-Henry is clearly the man South Shields are trying to unleash.

    Another long ball goes over the top in his direction as he switches up his movement over to the left of the pitch.
