FC Halifax Town managed a 2-1 win away to National League North side Darlington. Following the match, Tobi Sho-Silva spoke to Luke Davis.
He said: โIt was a good game. A good test for us. Darlington were a good side to be fair. Theyโve got some good players. Weโve got some good players as well. A 2-1 win, itโs preseason, everyoneโs got minutes under their belt. No one is injured. So we just build on that.โ
Sho-Silva was Townโs second signing of the season after joining from Dover. Sho-Silva revealed how he has settled in straight away.
He said: โThe lads are very good. I knew a couple of the boys before. Iโd played with [Josh] Staunton at Charlton, then Jamie Allen at Dover. All they boys, theyโre just legends. Itโs a good group of lads.โ
Having played with a few of his teammates in the past, the forward acknowledge how important it is to have a familiar face.
He said: โItโs important to be fair. But in football, everyone knows about going into new changing rooms. How to settle boys in. Weโve got 46 games in the league and weโve got cup matches. So, weโre one team when weโre out there. One identity. You gel quickly with them.โ
With the first fixture of the league campaign on the 3rd of August, Sho-Silva is ready to go and believes the rest of the team are as well.
He said: โIโm feeling ready for the season. Walking into the changing room after the game saying โthatโs all weโve got to doโ. Weโve got to win. Sometimes itโs not pretty but all the boys feel fit and weโre ready to go. Iโm looking forward to the season. I think itโs going to be a good one.โ
Town face Salford City next Saturday in the final preseason friendly. Sho Silva revealed how confident the team is ahead of the fixture.
He said: โWeโll go out there and I think we can beat anybody. We might have to change a few things to adapt to their shape. Weโre just going to work hard and get some minutes under our belt. Weโll see what we can do.โ
