Matty Kosylo has said that momentum is building in the FC Halifax Town squad after their 2-0 victory over Guiseley secured back-to-back wins in the National League for The Shaymen.
A superb first-half strike from Kosylo and Matty Brownβs bullet header gave Halifax all three points at The MBi Shay Stadium and earned Town successive wins following last weekβs triumph away to Solihull Moors.
After four winless matches to start to the season, Kosylo feels that Town are now beginning to adjust to the challenges of non-leagueβs top flight. βNow weβre getting a bit of momentumβ said Kosylo, βso I think weβre slowly getting into our stride.β
βI think we started well. I think if you look at the team we played (on the opening day of the season), we played Aldershot and theyβve put more than two (goals) past most teams. We could have done something about both goals that day so it was disappointing.
βBut I donβt think weβve done badly, weβve got two draws against teams who will be comfortable in this division.β
βConsidering what everyoneβs been predicting, I think it was a six-pointer today, even as early as this in the season. It was a big win for us. A big win that gives us momentum as well going into Monday.β
Townβs number seven was also full of praise for fellow goal-scorer and club captain, Brown, who headed in his first Halifax goal. βBrownyβs looking in really good shapeβ, Kosylo said. βWe talk a lot outside of football and heβs really on his game now. Heβs got the armband, heβs got more responsibility and itβs showing on the pitch.
βGarner or Reilly or whoever has stepped in at the side of him has been brilliant as well so it gives us a base so that as long as it stays 0-0 we can go and nick games and as you can see weβre starting to do that now.β
Itβs a quick turn-around for Town now who travel to Gateshead this Monday afternoon. But Kosylo is optimistic that The Shaymen can earn another victory against the top-six side.
βI think weβll just rest and recover now,β Kosylo added. βI think weβll speak to the gaffer either today or tomorrow and weβll see what weβll go with on Monday.
βBut, weβre not worried if we go and we just worry about ourselves. Weβll have a brief look at them and get an idea of what theyβre about, then Iβm confident that we can go there and get a result.β
