Truro City manager John Askey said his side are lacking up front after their 1-0 loss at Brackley Town.

The defeat was Truro's ninth in 11 National League games and leaves them two points adrift at the bottom of the table.

It was also City's fourth successive league game without scoring - they have failed to score in eight of their 11 games this season.

"We're just lacking in the final third," Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall after the loss on Tuesday evening.

"You can't ask any more of them as regards the endeavour that they put in today.

"They worked really hard and limited Brackley to very few chances, but you can say the same for Brackley - they limited us to very few chances.

"It's tough. We huffed and puffed and played some decent football but never really cut them open."
