Halifax Town are disappointed again that they return from their travels with another defeat, this time to a 2-1 loss at Stevenage Borough.

Town manager Chris Wilder said after the game, "It can't go on this, the fans wants results and I understand that. I'm disappointed, people will have gone away thinking were a decent side but were losing footballers tonight and that hurts. In my time since I've been here we've been winning footballers. Something has to change and if I can I will do."

Stevenage started the game well, John Nutter's long ball from the kickoff found Steve Morison his head back found George Boyd whose volley went over the bar with less than a minute on the clock.

Andy Campbell who started the game alongside Ryan Sugden was fouled on 2 minutes, however Jake Wrights'freekick was too high for all his teammates and went out for a goalkick.

Greg Young misjudged the ball on 3 minutes, the lively Boyd took advantage and ran at the Town defence, Young got back and cleared for a corner which Town managed to clear.

Lewis Killeen saw the ball from 30 yards out, he tried to curl the ball into the top left hand corner of Alan Julian's goal but saw his effort go narrowly over the bar.

Craig Dobson found Dwayne Lee on the right hand side, his cross in was taken well by goalkeeper Craig Mawson.

Campbell was fouled again on 12 minutes following a throw in from Wright. It was taken short and Tom Kearney who made his Shay debut this afternoon saw his shot deflected.

The Shaymen were playing some neat football at times but were never really testing the home goalkeeper. Dobson who hogged the touchline for Stevenage put in a good cross from the right hand side towards Morison but the ball was over his head. And went out for a throw.

Stevenage took the lead on 18 minutes, a loose ball on the Town left, was not cleared, the ball came into the box and an unmarked Steve Morison saw his header go across Mawson and nestle into the bottom right hand corner.

Morison could have made it 2-0 within a minute, a long ball forward found him one on one with Mawson but the goalkeeper parried his shot and the defence managed to clear.

A 25^th minute booking for captain Martin Foster will see him miss next Saturday's away trip to Exeter City, for a challenge which didn't look to warrant a yellow card from referee Amy Raynor, with Greg Young picking up a booking two minutes later for a foul on Morison.

Mawson found Gus Uhlenbeek with a long throw out, he went on a run down the right hand side and found Kearney his shot was towards goal but the defence blocked the shot and cleared.

Boyd got past Mark Roberts on 30 minutes and raced from the halfway line towards goal, however Gus Uhlenbeek's got across on the edge of the penalty area to clear the danger.

Town got their equaliser on 32 minutes, Kearney's pass found Forrest, out to Uhlenbeek and his first time cross was met by Sugden who guided the ball past Julien and wheeled away in delight at his third goal in three games.

Stevenage had the ball in the next just before the break with Morison finding the bottom corner but the linesman's flag was up for offside, while Forrest saw his dragged shot go wide of the right hand post.

A slip by Kearney a minute into the second half gave Dobson a chance to run at the Town defence and his effort towards goal went over Mawson's goal.

Sugden had a great chance two minutes later to make it 2-1 Town, Killeen and Wright combined on the left hand side, Wright's cross found Sugden at the near post having got in front of his marker and his glancing header was just over the bar in front of the travelling fans.

On 49 minutes, Morison had another goal disallowed again for a flag by the referee's assistant.

However Mark Stimsons side weren't to be denied. A long ball forward saw confusion in the Town defence, Morison found an unmarked Boyd who had the time to slide the ball past Mawson, his goal proving to be the winner.

Uhlenbeek found Campbell who had made an intelligent run into the box, his cross was towards his strike partner Sugden but was headed out for a corner.

Morison again ran towards the goal however a long foot by Young saw him clear the danger at the edge of the box for a corner, which Mawson took well again.

Killeen and Sugden combined at the edge of the box which saw Suggy get into the box but from a tight angle couldn't find a way past Julian with his shot.

Morison past Uhlenbeek, the former Ipswich man was claiming he was fouled but no freekick was given with Morison then firing over the bar from a tight angle from within the box.

With 15 minutes to go, Chris Wilder brought on Chris Senior and Nicky Gray who signed this week on non contract terms for Kearney and Campbell.

Town won a corner within a minute which saw Julian punch and Stevenage attack through Dobson but Uhlenbeek got in a great challenge at the far end of the pitch.

There were still time for efforts from Jon Nurse who had returned from his loan spell at Woking heading wide, had another effort saved by Mawson and also hit the post.

Foster saw his effort following a freekick go wide from 25 yards out while Senior had more time than he thought, his shot went across goal and wide.

Town are back in action on Tuesday night when Kidderminster Harriers are the visitors, 7-45pm kickoff.
