Town squad in good shape as Millington prepares for season run-in

Millington added: "So it's hugely impressive at this stage, given the season we've had, that the lads are performing to such a high standard."

The Halifax boss made three changes to his side against Bromley, giving a rest to three players; Tylor Golden, Mani Dieseruvwe and Jamie Cooke.

"The biggest thing is making sure we retain as much of a freshness as we can because we want everybody to be fit and available, but also we want everybody fresh or as fresh as they can be at this stage of the season," said Millington.

He continued: "We're in a fortunate position where almost every fit player we've got will be available for the Trophy game.

"We're fortunate when you compare us to Gateshead in that respect, that their number of available players for the Trophy is slightly limited.

"So they've got much more of a problem in trying to manage that, whereas we can focus on making sure that we remain competitive and remain focused on trying our very best to get three points out of every game we come into."

When asked if he already knows his team for the FA Trophy final or whether there are still places within the lineup up for grabs, the Town boss said: "There's more competition in certain areas of the pitch than others.”

He added: "We've been looking recently at the benefits of the players we've got in a 4-3-3.

"You've also seen us switch shape in games to a 3-5-2, which we know will present more problems for Gateshead's style, Gateshead's possession style because we'd be able to get more pressure high up the pitch.

"So we're toying around with certain things as well as trying to make sure we go and win three points.

"But we're in a really fortunate position to have so many options available to us at the minute."
