'We shot ourselves in the foot' - Truro boss Askey

John Askey has been Truro City's manager since the summer of 2024

Truro City boss John Askey said he is getting frustrated by his side's errors after another National League defeat.

The Tinners were beaten 3-1 at Hartlepool United, which left them bottom of the table and widened the gap to safety to eight points.

City have lost their past five league matches and have picked up just five points in two months.

"To get back to 1-1, I thought second half we were the better team, and again we've shot ourselves in the foot," he told BBC Radio Cornwall after the loss.

"It's so frustrating because we've had numerous occasions to clear the ball, and then somebody allowed somebody on the edge of the box to have too much time to pick his spot.

"It's happened time and time again and we keep going over the same things

"It's difficult to know what to say to the players because they're giving everything, and you feel for them because we're so close yet so far.

"But today I thought it was a marked improvement on our last few performances."
