Ryan Galvin’s late equaliser cancelled out Chris Maguire’s penalty as Town’s only effort on target ended their near eight-hour wait for a goal.
“We were fortunate,” Millington told the Courier.
“It’s exactly the same as last week (against Hartlepool), we’ve tried to play their game and they’re better at it than we are.
“They’re better at the direct play and the physical aspect of the game, and the lads have got sucked into trying to play their way and not our way, and as a result, it’s been a very, very long afternoon and we’re very fortunate to get a point.”
Millington admitted having only one effort on target all game wasn’t good enough.
“Yeah, poor. And Zak’s had a golden oppportunity to win the game for us at the end,” said the Town boss.
“He’s here to score goals and he’s not even hit the target, so I think that’s a large part of the prpblem at the moment.
“We aren’t creating an awful lot, that’s for sure, there’s a lack of creativity in midfield, but also our forwards, when we do get opportunities, Luca Thomas in the first-half, must have been 40 yards over the bar and Zak has a golden opportunity to win the game for us and can’t even hit the target.
“So that’s an issue.”
Even the fact that Town kept going and managed to find a late equaliser didn’t draw much praise from Millington.
“I’m embarrassed with the performance as it is but I’d be even more embarrassed if we gave up,” he said.
“We definitely don’t give up, and ayone who does won’t be at this club very long.”
Maguire’s goal came after Eastleigh had missed an earlier penalty, which was saved by Toby Savin.
“I thought the first one was but the second one, it looked like the tackle was made and the ball was travelling out of the box,” said Millington.
“So I don’t know how the referee’s deemed that a penalty, but we can’t argue with the fact Eastleigh deserved to be 1-0 up, so I’m not going to be bitter about how they did it.”
Town’s injury woes continued in the game as Florent Hoti was forced off with a dead leg.
