Truro City boss John Askey said his side "didn't deserve anything" as they lost 2-0 at home to National League North side Brackley Town in the FA Cup.

Connor Hall put Brackley ahead midway through the first half before getting a second in the 28th minute.

Dan Lavercombe made two excellent saves to deny Hall a first-half hat-trick as the hosts saw out a victory that takes them one step close to the first round proper.

"We didn't deserve anything today," Askey told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Cornwall.

"Last week we came away feeling hard done by, but today we didn't deserve anything.

"The first goal's a mistake by ourselves which allows the opposition to then sit behind the ball.

"But all round we weren't good enough today and it's a disappointing performance.

"They're a decent team," he added. "They've got a lot of old pros who know how to see out a game - they got behind the ball and they did well.

"But physically we weren't up to it today. I had made changes from the game previous and it was just to have a look at one or two players, but obviously that didn't help us I don't think, but we needed to do it."
