TOWN HAVE A POINT TO PROVE TO RIVALS
Town boss Chris Millington wants his side to prove they have turned a corner as they go into the final week of the league season.
The Shaymen visit Dagenham and Redbridge on Saturday before a trip to Woking on Tuesday and then a home game with Eastleigh next Saturday.
Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Bromley made it just one defeat in 12 for Halifax, who have won four of their last five league matches.
"We're just desperate to keep going really, it feels disappointing the season's coming to an end," Millington told the Courier.
He added: "We're on a good run of results, we think our form can improve, we think we can do better, it's a really exciting time for us because, Tuesday included, the last four games have been real tough opposition.
"Bromley, then Dagenham, then Woking, then Eastleigh - all teams fighting for promotion and hoping to get in the play-offs.
"They're certainly not going to give us an easy ride and they're all teams that we need to go out and try to put to the sword to prove that the corner that some think we've turned, we genuinely have and we're becoming a force to be reckoned with.
"So it's exciting, and yeah, a bit disappointing that it's ending so soon."
Town are showing no signs of easing up ahead of next month's FA Trophy final at Wembley, with another committed display in midweek.
"It'd be really easy for the lads to just take their foot off the gas a bit at the moment, try to protect themselves, try and just be careful that they don't put themselves out of contention for a big game coming up,"
Millington said.
"There is always the argument that people are playing for their shirts, but the flip side of that is there's lads out there who could easily just drop a gear and try and make sure they don't put themselves at any risk.
"But you saw on Tuesday, lads flying into tackles, lads receiving some real rough treatment off opposition players but still going toe-to-toe with them and really driving on to try and win the game right at the death when really there's very little in it for us in terms of how it affects our league season.”
