Gateshead boss Ian Bogie insists his side will head to Brentford full of confidence after Peter Winn's injury-time effort earned the Blue Square Premier side a replay.

Goals from Carl Cort and Kevin O'Connor looked like sending the League One side through despite Lewis Price's own goal. But on-loan Scunthorpe winger Winn smashed the ball home three minutes into stoppage-time as honours ended even.

``I thought we did enough to win the game,'' said Bogie. ``We dominated the first half, started brightly and got a deserved goal."

He added: ``We looked as if we were going to kick on and get a second. When you go in front concentration levels have got to stay high, but we conceded inside seven minutes.

``If we had shut up shop maybe we would've won the game. We've showed great character that keeps us in the tie.

``We'll go to Brentford with confidence, and will take the game to them. They're on their home patch and expecting to beat us.''

Brentford boss Andy Scott had mixed emotions after watching his side come from behind before conceding the late equaliser.

He said: ``I'm happy to be in the next round. When we went 1-0 down it didn't look like it was going to be the case.

``We weren't creating much. But we scored two good goals and missed chances to kill the game. It was a fair result.

``We're disappointed to concede late on. We haven't defended set-pieces properly again and we've done it twice again. We allowed them to put pressure on us and it's cost us.

``I don't feel like we've done the hard part. They'll be thinking they can come to a league ground and get the result they felt they probably should've got here.``
