Still 'early days' for Truro despite being top - Askey

John Askey took over Truro City in the summer after Paul Wotton left to join Torquay United

Truro City manager John Askey says it is "still early days" despite his team being top of National League South.

The Tinners lead Weston-super-Mare thanks to a better goal difference ahead of a difficult trip to fifth-placed Dorking Wanderers on Saturday.

The side relegated from the National League last season inflicted one of just four league losses on Truro this season when they won 2-1 on the opening day and come into the game having won 7-1 at Hemel Hempstead on Monday.

"It's obviously better to be in that position than any other," Askey told BBC radio Cornwall.

"It's going well, the players have worked really hard, and it's better than we could ever have imagined at the start of the season, but it's early days yet."

Askey's side have impressed this season, as the new Truro boss has guided his side to 11 wins from 19 league games since joining in the summer.

It is the first full campaign under the control of Truro's new Canadian owners as they return to the city with a new ground after almost four years playing elsewhere.

"Nobody could have expected it," added Askey.

"With going to a new ground and everything fairly new for the football club, it couldn't be going any better.

"But we've just got to continue trying to do what we're doing and hopefully come the end of the season we're still in amongst it."
