"It's really exciting. Obviously, the club have got big ambitions and want to be up there getting promoted. That's exactly what I want to do, I want to be part of it."

"We've got a great opportunity on Friday, granted against a team who have started very similarly to us, two wins out of three. We're looking forward to the game and we're looking forward to producing another winning display in front of our fans."

"We've got to move on, it's happened now. We can't cry about it, we've got to understand why the result went against us, look at it with the players on Monday morning and then focus on a chance to get back to winning ways on Friday."

"The fact is that the one we didn't deal with, Sutton scored from it. So yes, we'll be looking to improve that."
"We've watched all their games and they've been a strong, physical team. They've been really good, they're really good at what they do. We knew that."
"The fans have been unbelievable, as they always are, and they'll be there in their numbers on Friday so we've got to make sure we put a really good performance in."
"I think that belief that we can go and really beat anybody this season has to come if we're going to push on and be right at the top."
"Today, we didn't have nowhere near enough quality, we didn't have enough forward movement, we didn't defend well enough and we didn't have any control of the game. There's a lot of things that we can do better than we did today."
"We certainly didn't lose the game because of Nathan Fisher, we should have been better in other areas."
Here's how the Hartlepool United players fared during their first defeat of the new National League season at Sutton United.

"I don't think we showed the real Hartlepool United. We didn't show our real selves, the identity we've built since pre-season. Our pressing game wasn't at its best out of possession and our quality with the ball - that final pass, that final cross, that shot, whatever it is, the final action - wasn't great."

"When I came back, I have to be honest, I wasn't really expecting them to applaud me. It meant a lot, it was a special moment for me personally."

"I wasn't able to show what I can fully do under Feaths. I spoke to him, had a conversation with him and there's no bad blood. I just said to him, 'I want to leave because I genuinely want to play football'. Sutton came in and now I'm playing pretty much every single game."
"At the end of the day, they've got quality but so have we. I think they've got more quality now than they did last year, but we've improved a lot too. We'll see what happens on Saturday."
Hartlepool United midfielder Jamie Miley is hoping the 2026/27 campaign will be "a massive season for both me and the club".
"It's always difficult at Sutton, I don't think I've won there in my career so far. Then again, I hadn't won at Aldershot either, so hopefully we can go and do the same on Saturday."
"We're giving them total respect, we're expecting a very, very tough match. Having watched the games back, it's no fluke that they are where they are."
Hartlepool United are bidding to continue their perfect start to the new National League season when they make the long trip to South London to take on a Sutton United side who have themselves won both of their first two matches this term. Here's how our editor Robbie Stelling thinks Pools could line up at Gander Green Lane.
