Truro City manager John Askey has praised his side efforts despite their 2-0 loss at Altrincham.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tinners had the better of the first-half chances but could not find the back of the net as the hosts took their opportunities in front of goal.<\/p>\n

Truro remain 10 points from safety at the bottom of the National League with 10 games to go as their hopes of a second season in the fifth tier continue to diminish. <\/p>\n

“You couldn’t knock the players for their effort, I thought the effort was there,” Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.<\/p>\n

“But all we can do is just keep going, no matter what the situation, is even if we get to a stage where we can’t stay up, then we’ve still got to keep showing pride.<\/p>\n

“The lads themselves have got to show that they’re capable of playing at this level as an individual and then hopefully we can pick up a few points now before the end of the season.”<\/p>\n

Askey was particularly annoyed by the chances that his side missed, especially before Declan Howe’s opener.<\/p>\n

On-loan Plymouth Argyle winger Freddie Issaka hit the post early on while Tyler Harvey also went close.<\/p>\n

“The first one 15 or 20 minutes, the amount of chances we had, I think we had the post twice and if you don’t take your chances then it can come back to bite you and it did today,” Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall.<\/p>\n

“It’s frustrating because how we started the game you couldn’t ask for us to play better, but I always felt as though when we did lose the ball we were a little bit too open.<\/p>\n

“Having said that I don’t think that’s where the goals came from, but it just probably sums the season up really the game today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Truro City manager John Askey has praised his side efforts despite their 2-0 loss at Altrincham.
