Adam Clayton insists Hartlepool United fully focused on Scunthorpe United clash despite dramatic week at Victoria Park

"I think taking that expectation away now, which we can as interim, is important. It's just about Saturday. It's not about getting promotion, it's about winning on Saturday and then building those blocks to hopefully then think about that come the end of the season."

Interim head coach Adam Clayton insists Hartlepool United are fully focused on Saturday's trip to Scunthorpe United.

Pools are still reeling from a remarkable few days following head coach Lee Clark's dramatic resignation at the weekend.While it's certainly never boring at Victoria Park, Clark's sudden decision to step down - and, in particular, the manner of it - left supporters in shock.

Although it was becoming increasingly apparent that Clark, who was only appointed in May, was under growing pressure from the fanbase, few could have foreseen him announcing his resignation in the immediate aftermath of Saturday's 3-1 loss at home to newly-promoted Worthing, his side's sixth defeat in seven matches.
