Silky boss annoyed by complacency despite win
Silksworth CW manager Jamie Cole believes his side showed some complacency despite their 3-1 home win against Darlington RA.
Dan Thompson put Silksworth ahead in the early stages of the Wearside League First Division game, but they were pegged back by an equaliser within minutes.
However, a stunning strike from youngster Adam Frame and a penalty from Harry Munday helped Silksworth remain in the hunt for a top-three spot.
Despite the result, Cole was not entirely satisfied with his side’s performance.
He said: “We were very lively at the start of the game and went a goal up, but then conceded a sloppy goal.
“Adam put us back in front and it seems the young lad only likes to score worldies.
“Darlo didn’t give up and our keeper made some really good saves to keep us in front.
“It was game over when Harry Munday got our third with a penalty, but I think a bit of complacency had set in because they turned up with the bare bones.”
