Truro boss Askey hoping to strengthen squad

John Askey has had a fine start to his tenure in charge of Truro City

Truro City boss John Askey says he needs to strengthen his squad.

The Tinners are third in the National League South after Saturday's 2-1 win over Tonbridge Angels.

Askey's side have won eight and lost just three of their 13 league games but will be without Connor Riley-Lowe and Billy Palfrey for the trip to Slough Town on Saturday after their red cards at Farnborough last week.

"We've got a bare squad and we need to bring players in," he told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"It's not easy because we have got one of the smaller budgets - if not the smallest in the league - and where we're situated as well it doesn't make it easy.

"But we're working hard, all the staff, to try to get players in, but it's pointless bringing people who are not going to improve us."
