Truro City form and stats

Truro City's struggle is real here at Plainmoor Ground with only 18 points collected from 19 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 5-3-11. It's been an uphill battle for Truro City in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Oxford City game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Truro City manager P. Wilkinson and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Hemel Hempstead Town in the Vanarama National League South. Preceding that match was the home game against Concord Rangers that was lost 0-1.

The manager P. Wilkinson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hampton & Richmond in only two days.

The Truro City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 25 in 19 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 36 goals have been conceded.
