Lee Clark - more to come from Will Harris after striker well-marshalled in Sutton United defeat

"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."

Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark is confident there's more to come from Will Harris following the striker's slow start to life at Victoria Park.

Having scored a superb goal during the opening day victory over Barrow, Harris has failed to find the net in either of his last two matches and endured a frustrating afternoon in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Sutton United.

Pools, who were among the National League's lowest scorers last season, failing to find the net in 15 of their 49 matches in all competitions, signed a whole host of attacking reinforcements over the summer.

Clark's side added experience in the form of veteran Jordan Hugill, who enjoyed a memorable spell on loan at Victoria Park more than a decade ago, as well as energy and industry thanks to the arrival of Chris Popov.
