FC Halifax Town boss Chris Millington felt that the 1-1 draw with York City on Tuesday night was a fair result a low quality affair.

Despite the opinion of York manager Adam Hinshelwood, who believed that City deserved the three points, Millington felt that a share of the spoils were a fair scoreline.

Millington was left feeling frustrated by the Shay Stadium’s pitch, which forced the game to be initially postponed on Bank Holiday Monday, and with the performance of referee Michael Crusham, with the Halifax boss believing that his side should have had a penalty in the 81st minute.

"I think they've probably had the better of the territory,” Millington told the Halifax Courier.

"They've probably had more shots than us. Has Sam [Johnson, Halifax goalkeeper] had to make any saves? No, he's not, everything he's had has been fairly comfortable.

"I think it was a typical end-of-season game where neither team really wanted to lose it and the result is a reflection of that.

“We matched them. I thought there were some lads today who really put in a shift and fought for every ball and won the majority of their duels, and that's how it's going to have to be between now and the end of the season.

“I didn't see how it [York’s opener] went in but I thought Jamie Cooke did fantastic in terms of his energy and his effort to get back, he got a block in and unfortunately, it stayed in play.

"If he'd been able to stay on his feet or it had gone out of play, there's no way they'd have scored, but I thought he was fantastic.

"I thought the centre-halves were excellent in what they had to do, I'm really pleased with their contribution.

"There was nothing in it, there was no quality, neither team played the other one off the park.

"There was a lot of transition, a lot of turnover of possession, very scrappy, very difficult to maintain control in the game, either with or without the ball.

"So you always know you're going to get chances.

"It's sometimes difficult for people to see where those opportunities are going to come from when neither team's really got control of the ball for any period of time but we always knew, with the players we had on the pitch, we had a chance of scoring.

“We just take a point. Ultimately, a draw I think was a fair result.

"Against Hartlepool, again there was absolutely nothing in the game but for them getting a penalty and us not getting ours.

"I think that was an unfair result because I think we deserved something out of that game, but today I think the result was fair so we accept that and we go into Kidderminster trying to earn three points."

Millington went on to vent his frustrations on the decisions of the referee and the pitch, which he felt affected the match.

"It’s so hard to play on. The ball doesn't run flat and it takes so much out of the legs that the ability to maintain a quality first touch is nigh on impossible.

"So that's just something we've got to live with and we'll have accept between now and the end of the season.

"We feel we should have had a pen, but we don't get them.

"We ask questions of the officials and we ask for official explanations after the game in reports and the reports always agree with us, that we should have had them, but we don't get them.

"Whatever we achieve here, we have to achieve the hard way but we've accepted that and that's what we're going to do."
