Askey impressed despite Truro City's Torquay defeat

Defeat at Torquay United means Truro City have won just once in their last five matches

Truro City boss John Askey says he is impressed with the way his side played in their 1-0 loss at National League South leaders Torquay United.

The Tinners impressed for long periods but were undone by Jordan Young's goal with 10 minutes to go.

The loss sees Askey's side drop to fifth place in the division, five points off their opponents who are on a 12-game unbeaten run.

"We certainly played well today, the only thing that was lacking from us was a goal," Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"We dominated the play second half, it was all us, we've had the better chances, but come away with nothing.

"It's hard to take. What we can take from it is how well we played.

"I thought that was as well as we've played all season, but we've got to convert chances."
