Millington angry after Town loss to Aldershot

-

"One is a poor choice in going long off a goal kick, booming it long onto a front four that we've got, not one over five foot ten, up against a back three who are six foot four plus.

"The ball obviously comes back very quickly when you do that and when it does, they get a throw-in, it comes in and they score off that next passage of play.

"It's the result of poor decision-making.

"And then the second goal, we don't squeeze out of our box far enough. The lad's converting it from what looked like about seven or eight yards out, which shouldn't be happening, we're way too deep.

"It's a situation that's avoidable, should have been avoidable and a team with a bit more clarity in terms of their ability to implement, maintain and see through a game plan would have won that game, and that's clearly not been us today."

When asked what questions that raised for him about his side, Millington said: "Well we've changed shape today and there was always going to be a stage in the season when we changed shape. But my question is more around who's willing to play within that shape. They're all capable, the reality is are they all willing to do what's required in that shape.

"Special mention for the likes of Luke Summerfiel­d, who I thought was outstandin­g considerin­g he's been out and not had a great deal of minutes, he really made us tick and did commit to trying to follow a game plan.

"I thought the front four worked incredibly hard and were lively first-half but one or two of them faded too quickly in the second-half."
