00:00Sutton, another side with a young up-and-coming manager in Steve Morrison, they had a bit of a

00:04mixed start to the season. Obviously, having been renegaded from League 2, as Pools fans will know,

00:10can take a bit of time to adjust, but they've been doing really well recently. Another side,

00:16I think, who will like to try and play football and attack with pace. I think for Pools,

00:23it's just important to try and get a result. They would have probably earmarked last weekend as

00:29one where they were hoping to take all three points. I think a point would be

00:33a really good result, a positive start to yet another new era here at Pools.

00:39It certainly hasn't been easy with all the travelling, let alone the players,

00:42management and fans. Spare a thought, of course, for the poor old journalists who have been to

00:48Braintree, been to Barnet, been to Wealdstone and are set to go to Sutton in the space of

00:53three or four weeks. I think one thing Pools fans would like to see is probably for Pools to try

01:00and impose themselves on the game a little bit more than they have done in recent weeks. It's

01:04perhaps been a bit passive, especially at Barnet. They tried to do that against Braintree. I know

01:09Lenny Lawrence felt that Pools were very dominant, and they were in some senses. They had a lot of

01:14chances. But I think in terms of control of the game, that's something that Pools have perhaps

01:17been lacking.
