Halifax aim to make play-offs

Halifax Town expect to come out of administration on March 14th, but boss Chris Wilder says the transfer embargo currently in place on the club has had a negative effect on their play-off hopes.

By coming out of administration, the Shaymen would be eligible for the Conference play-offs but Halifax, like Hereford, are unable to fund any new signings and have tiny playing squads. Wilder complained that his side needs fresh faces. "We are working on a squad of 16 or 17 players," he told the Halifax Courier. "Other clubs have reserve teams and big squads and that enables them to pull players out for a rest when they need one."

Halifax have lost four of their last five games, dropping below Hereford into seventh and Wilder continued: "A new face coming through the door can brighten things up and help others raise their game."
