Lee Clark - Nathan Sheron helped Hartlepool United gain 'control' in Aldershot Town win

"We didn't control the middle of the pitch like we would have wanted to for large periods of the first half. That extra player they had in there made it quite difficult for us."

Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark felt the second half introduction of Nathan Sheron helped his side gain "control" in midfield during Saturday's battling 1-0 victory over Aldershot Town.

With Clark determined to implement an all-action, aggressive and high pressing brand of football at Victoria Park this term, Pools have started each of their first two National League matches with an attack-minded 4-4-2 formation.

While that worked well enough during the 2-0 win over Barrow on the opening day of the new campaign, it proved less effective in the first half of Saturday's clash with the Shots.
