Gateshead draw was fair result for boss

-

Chris Millington felt a draw was a fair result but was again left to rue his side's missed chances in Town's 0-0 draw at Gateshead.

It's now two 0-0 draws on the spin for Halifax following their 5-0 demolition of Wealdstone after The Shaymen again squandered some clear chances.

When asked if he felt his side had done enough to earn a win, Millington said: "It's a tough one really because I think Gateshead probably played the better football but I think we probably had the more clear cut chances.

"They were better in possession than us and worked the ball well up to the final third, but didn't really create any clear cut chances, whereas we've had two or three really good chances that we should have taken.

"So yeah, I think we could have come away with all three points tonight but on the balance of the 90 minutes, most people would probably say it was a fair result."

On his team's overall performanc­e, the Town boss said: "It's the goalscorin­g isn't it, everything but putting the ball in the back of the net.

"Defensivel­y we look solid, it's the third clean sheet on the bounce, which tells a story.

"But it's a familiar tale that we're not taking our chances and as a result, we only come away with a point when we could have come away with all three."

Halifax have failed to score in three of their last four games, with the fourth in that run - the 5-0 thrashing of Wealdstone - looking like an anomaly.

"Well, it is an anomaly in the overall course of the season, it's definitely an outlier," Millington said.
