Lee Clark frustrated by Hartlepool United's lack of creativity following Sutton United defeat

Having won each of their opening two National League games without conceding, Pools suffered their first defeat of the new campaign at the hands of a physical, energetic and robust Us side in South London.

While Pools, who were without first choice goalkeeper Max Merrick as well as highly rated winger Jack Nolan at Gander Green Lane, will have been bitterly disappointed by both of the goals they conceded, their lack of threat at the other end represents an even more significant concern.
