Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark admits his side will look at ways to improve their defending of long throws after being undone during Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Sutton United.
Having won each of their opening two National League matches without conceding, Pools were condemned to their first defeat of the new campaign at the hands of a physical, robust and energetic Sutton side.
After uncharacteristically sloppy defending from Maxim Kouogun and Reiss McNally allowed the impressive Temi Babalola in to score the opening goal in the 20th minute, Pools went further behind seven minutes later after failing to deal with a long throw into their area from defender Dan Urpens.
