FORMER York City chief Alan Little admitted last night's share-all has cranked up the pressure on his relegation-threatened side.

While City can breathe a little easier today, Town boss Little looked upon the 1-1 draw as two points dropped.

Halifax have now got just 14 games to preserve their Football League status - more than half of those are away from home - and face Third Division leaders Plymouth Argyle on Saturday.

"It wasn't enough," conceded Little.

"People were making this the be all and end all. If we hadn't won we were finished.

"That's not right. There are still a lot of games to go.

"But every game is getting bigger for us and the win has got to come and not just one win."

He added: "We had a good start with the early goal and had a great first-half when I thought we were far, far the better side.

"Give York credit, they have come out in the second-half and for 20 minutes they have put us on the back foot."
