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 大象传媒 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."
