Truro should have 'scored more' in Fulham U21 win

Truro City should have "scored more goals", said manager John Askey after they beat Fulham under-21s 1-0 in the National League Cup.

Truro remain unbeaten in the competition, after a second win in two group games, sitting second in the Group C table and level on points with Brighton under-21s above them.

The Tinners had eight shots to Fulham's two, with Luke Jephcott scoring the only goal to give the hosts the win on 71 minutes.

"We should have scored more - that was the only disappointment," Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.

"It was a really good goal, [we] got the ball wide and Connor [Riley-Lowe] provided a bit of quality for which Luke was in the right place at the right time.

"As the game went on, you could see it coming and lucky enough it came because we were all thinking, 'oh no, not another game where we don't score and have chances'."

The win was Truro's first in four matches, with the club currently 23rd in the National League table after only one victory in nine league games in their first season at the level.

Askey made eight changes to the starting line-up from the team that was beaten in their last outing against Rochdale.

"When you're not winning, positions are up for grabs and I thought the majority of the lads who played tonight who have not been playing did really well," Askey said.

"These games are a really good workout for us, it's what we need and it enables lads who have not been playing to get 90 minutes under the belt and show what they can do."
