Truro had chances to increase their lead and finally took one when Oxlade-Chamberlain headed in the second goal 14 minutes from full-time. "It was a professional performance to go on and get the second goal," Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall. "It probably should have been a bit more comfortable than it was."We probably missed three or four really good opportunities to kill the game, to put it to bed really early."But I'm pleased with the lads, I can't remember the lads having too much to do other than maybe a save in the first half."It felt fairly comfortable and on a different day we'd maybe score four or five."

Askey admits Truro need to improve quickly

Truro City boss John Askey fears a long season of struggle ahead if his side produce repeats of their performance against Tinners suffered a 2-0 defeat to leave them goalless, pointless and bottom of the National League table after three damage was done by two Tamworth goals in two first-half minutes and Askey told BBC Radio Cornwall: "[It was a] poor performance. They outfought us, out-battled us. It's tough at the moment. It's going to be a long season if we put performances in like that."We've got to improve and improve quickly. We were too easily beaten. I don't want to be too down on them but it was hard to get away from the performance." Truro have found it difficult adapting to life a level up in the opening weeks of their first season in the fifth tier, after winning the National League South last 2-0 loss at Tamworth followed defeats against York City and Wealdstone by the same scoreline. Askey said: "I don't think it's a lack of effort or commitment. We've just got to adjust to the league and we've got to think quicker."Get back into positions, be more aggressive, with and without the ball. Time will tell whether whether we can bridge a gap or not."
