Jerome Binnom-Williams was disappointed that FC Halifax Town conceded a goal after defending well during their 1-1 home draw against Eastliegh.
The Shaymen conceded a headed Reda Johnson goal from a corner after taking the lead in the first minute of the match from their own set piece.
βWe did well in the first half, we did alright in the second half,β the left back told Shaymen TV. βWe had most of the ball in the second half but once again we have conceded when we were defending well. It was an alright performance from us, but we want the three points.β
Eastleigh equalised thanks to Johnsonβs header with the Shaymen defending well prior, so it was upsetting to concede from a set piece, commented the 24-year-old.
βYou donβt want to concede at all but sometimes you will. I thought we were defending well and getting forward at times well, and then when you concede like that its heart-breaking and devastating. Itβs a big blow for us but we keep going and keep our heads up,β he said.
The Shaymen had strong appeals for a penalty turned away by referee Martin Woods in the second half after Liam McAlinden appeared to be brought down in the box. Binnom-Williams felt aggrieved the decision wasnβt given but says the side canβt rely on officialsβ calls.
βFrom my angle it looked like a penalty, but I havenβt spoken to Liam about it. From what I saw it looked a penalty but the referee didnβt give it so you canβt dwell on it; you just have to keep going and create more chances. Some days it will go your way some days it wonβt.β
Attentions quickly turn to Tuesdayβs trip to local rivals Harrogate, and the former Crystal Palace full back says they side are confident and raring to go.
βWe deserve a win against them, so we want to keep pushing and keep working hard. We are just thinking about being mentally prepared and physically go out there and get the three points.β
Tuesdayβs game will be played on Harrogateβs 3G surface, but Binnom-Williams is certain previous experiences on similar pitches will help.
βWe have played against Bromley, we played against Sutton on the 3G; so we just have to take it on the chin. Itβs football, some teams in this league have 3G. Some have grass, so we have to keep playing and try work for the three points on Tuesday.β
