Truro City Manager John Askey Seeks Squad Reinforcements

John Askey, who has overseen a strong beginning to his tenure at Truro City, has indicated a need to bolster his squad. Following their 2-1 victory against Tonbridge Angels on Saturday, ‘The Tinners’ currently hold third place in the National League South standings. Askey’s team boasts a record of eight wins and only three losses from their 13 league matches. However, they will be without Connor Riley-Lowe and Billy Palfrey for their upcoming away fixture against Slough Town this Saturday, as both players received red cards at Farnborough last week. “We’ve got a bare squad and we need to bring players in,” he told BBC Radio Cornwall. “It’s not easy because we have got one of the smaller budgets – if not the smallest in the league – and where we’re situated as well it doesn’t make it easy.” “But we’re working hard, all the staff, to try to get players in, but it’s pointless bringing people who are not going to improve us.”
