FC Halifax Town striker George Waring said that the sideβs disappointing start to the second-half was crucial in their 4-1 defeat at home to Macclesfield Town in the Vanarama National League.
A double from former Birmingham midfielder Mitch Hancox and a strike by top-scorer Scott Wilson put Macclesfield 3-0 ahead after an hour and Waring believes it gave the side too much to recover.
βIt was frustrating to come out in the second-half and concede a second so soon after the breakβ Waring told ShaymenTV, βand itβs hard to recover from that kind of a set-back so early in the half.β
βWeβre chasing the game from then on and we leave ourselves open to the counter-attack. Obviously, itβs a disappointing result but there were some good performances from the team individually.β
βOver the last few games, maybe something caught up with us today but itβs something to work on and to take into next weekβs game.β
Hancox scored the Silkmenβs opener in the final minute of the first-half after a competitive opening 45 minutes against the league leaders.
βAfter a solid first-half, to be 1-0 down at half-time was unlucky,β Waring continued. βI think, obviously, their goal thereβs question marks over.β
βI havenβt seen it back, but it looked offside from my position on the bench, and obviously thatβs disappointing.β
βThere was nothing in the first-half really, they had more of the ball, but they never really looked like they were going to trouble us.β
