York was a frustrating watch on Saturday as Hinshelwood's team led the ball to a good position, but failed to challenge goalkeeper Fabian Murozek, who faced a single shot all afternoon.
It was Lewis Richardson's strike, the club's first strike for Burnley's lender.
However, the city's lead is short-lived as Forest Green responds after Jordan Garrick defeated the offside trap and was delivered to Harry Cardwell.
Minsterman had a chance, but Hunt missed the big opportunity he had blown up from within the area, but things like Ashley Nathaniel George, Dan Butty and Ty Sinclair were all blocked by the backline of Forest Green.
Although Hinshelwood was pleased with the performance aspect, he felt the city was too “tamed” in the final third and believed that their pursuit could cost him to catch up with National League leader Barnett.
“The performance was good, we thought we got the ball in the last third of the way they did,” Hinshelwood elaborated.
“It's the same as the top team on Tuesday. If they get the ball in the last third of their opponents, they win the game.
“We scored one point of two that the top team had all six.
“We did it too often. Ash had shots, tame, thai coming, tame, hunting needed a better decision, Hunty had another thing he had placed on the bar.
“It was the story of the last two games. We played really good things and were brave to get on the ball. It was probably a little different when we played more passes and moved the opposition today (Saturday) than Tuesday.
“In the end, we're not punishing the team since we got on the ball there, so we're focusing in the opposite way.
“That's why it's not too expensive when it's 1-0. Unfortunately, they know that there's a lot of concentration that the top teams don't have.
“It's been an incredible season so far, and the youngsters are tirelessly trying, but unfortunately these two things cost money when they win the title.”
Hinshelwood was also disappointed by the way the goals York acknowledged after Garrick seemed to break off the offside trap and deliver what proved to be a terrible cross to the area.
Cardwell notices that it is not marked within the city area, with an impressive header slapsing the man.
Hinshelwood's complaints came from a lack of communication from his two centre backs, Callum Howe and Malachi Fagan-Walcott.
The boss said, “If Kal isn't screaming from Malaki, he won't. He has to deal with the ball because our players won't speak.
“He's not just gambling that it's offside. Again, when it's so important for the next 10, 15 minutes and when it's so important that we don't accept it and that we're calm, it's just a lapse of concentration.
“Unfortunately, I have shown many times that I'm not able to concentrate.”
Hinshelwood chose four changes before the match, with Sinclair, Marvin Armstrong, Camjon and Josh Stones all falling to the bench.
All four of them will be back, but they were replaced by Junior Luamba, Jeff King, Nathaniel George and Richardson in the first place.
Hinshelwood explained these changes and admitted that his players struggled with fitness ahead of the final 10 games of the season.
“Josh had to do a fitness test and was only available for 30 minutes.
“Ty Sinclair hasn't been trained for the whole week. He trained a bit yesterday and we could see how badly his hamstrings are tied up.
“Cam John, I think he needs to come out more mentally than anything else as someone who has a hard time with his hamstrings.
“This was just a case where all teams would make it available to big runs in the Big Ten games we have now.
“It would have been risky to play some players.”
