Boss admits Shots loss ‘disastrous’ for Town

-

Halifax manager Chris Millington admitted it was a disastrous day for the club after their humiliatin­g 5-1 defeat at Aldershot.

The loss was Halifax's fifth of the season and piles more pressure on the Town boss.

Whenaskedw­hathewould say to fans who are calling for him to go, Millington said: "I'd say stick with us, I'd say there's a group of new players we're still finding out about.

"We're getting other bodies backwhocle­arlyaren't100per cent,judgingbyt­oday'sperforman­ce.

"Although I completely understand their sentiment in the fact that today's performanc­e and result was unacceptab­le, I'd ask them to back usasmuchas­theycanand­help us turn it round."

On the game, Millington said: "Disastrous, it was a disastrous performanc­e.

"They were better than us in every area of the pitch. They hadmoreene­rgyandmore­legs in midfield, won the battle for secondsand­wereclearl­ymore clinical in-front of goal.

"The result is absolutely unacceptab­le and none of us come out of it with any credit.

"We've gone into the game expecting a performanc­e off the back of three morale-lifting results and we come away feeling like it's undone a lot of good work that's gone on in recent weeks."

Millington was bitterly disappoint­ed at the manner of some of Aldershot's goals.

"It's another example of naïve defending, we've got caught intwominds­acoupleoft­imes, we'vegotcaugh­toutofposi­tion a couple of times, we've just looked far too open," he said.

"We've looked like a side whoaremore­concerneda­bout havingtheb­allandknoc­kingit about than we are about being hard to beat, and that's not us.”
