Millington unhappy with poor decision

-

Town boss Chris Millington said a poor refereeing decision ultimately cost his side two points in their 1-1 draw with Bromley at The Shay, writes Tom Scargill.

Halifax led at half-time through Rob Harker's goal but were pegged back by Michael Cheek, who converted from a free-kick into the Town box.

But Millington believed the free-kick should not have been awarded by referee Scott Jackson.

"First-half we started bright, we had a very, very good chance early on for Milli, probably a bit too early on for him truth be told," Millington said.

"We then take the lead, we then hit the post, we then have some real good passages of play in their half where they just can't get near us.

"We forced them to change shape midway through the half to try and deal with what we were doing and were certainly good value for coming in at half-time in the lead and if anything, disappoint­ed it wasn't more than 1-0.

"Second-half it became a bit more of a war of attrition, I thought they landed on more seconds.

"They were always going to come out and up the levels and their intensity, there's more on it for them because they're pushing for a play-off spot so it was imperative they improved.

"I'm disappoint­ed in the manner which we conceded.

"I'm not one for calling out officials, they have an incredibly difficult job, but it staggers me the amount of free-kicks that Michael Cheek gets from just collapsing as the ball goes into him, he's on his way down before the ball's even come in, little or not contact and the referee can't wait to blow the whistle.”
