We are keen to keep improving the quality. Nobody is guaranteed an automatic spot in the team.
four major played players proud
We are proud to have four players who played a major part in Wednesday's success.
appreciate effort fans manager matches players putting took
When I was manager at Ipswich and Derby, if we took 3500 to away matches that was good. To take over 6000 is unbelievable. The fans appreciate the effort the players are putting in.
absolutely both changing club coming compared couple difference enjoying everyday far free given hearts months mr past picking role routine running team training transfer
I get on very well with Mr Romanov and we have a workable relationship. We're both coming from the same place - and that's to make Hearts successful. The only difference compared to what I'm used to is in transfer dealings. I can live with that. My everyday routine running this club is absolutely fine. I'm really enjoying it as far as training matters, picking the team and changing things on and off the field. I've been given a free role and feel we've come a long way over the past couple of months on and off the field.
blood celtic contention cracked good hospital initially kept news next passing start training week
He should be able to start training next week all going well which is good news as initially we thought it could have been a cracked rib because he was passing blood and was in a lot of pain. That's why the hospital kept him in overnight, but all going well he will now come into contention for the Celtic match.
against fitter game good next sharper training
He's getting sharper and fitter so it's been a good for thing for him to be able to do more training before our next game against Celtic.
asset carefully finished good improvement player scope
He is a young player so there is a lot of scope for improvement. He is not the finished article, so we had to look carefully at him. He will be a good asset to the squad, and he has good credentials.
four himself honest keyhole looks question recovering six surgery undergo weeks
He'll undergo keyhole surgery and after that it is a question of him recovering and getting himself back into training. It looks like it will be four to six weeks out for the boy, but to be honest we are only guessing. We'll take it as it comes.
anyone bring fact list loads others squad
I had loads of others on a list and it was disappointing not to bring anyone else in as I know for a fact that they would have strengthened our squad immensely.
ahead aware fantastic far guarantee happen kid might past planning six talent
I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I might not be here myself, who knows? I won't guarantee anything, but as far as I'm aware nothing has changed. We're planning ahead with Theo at the club. He's done very well for us and we want to keep him for as long as possible. He's a fantastic talent. When you've got a talent like that there is always going to be speculation but the kid handles it well - he's experienced it for the past six months.
hopefully time trained week yesterday
He trained yesterday for the first time this week so hopefully he'll be okay.
boy club
I feel for the boy but the club has to come first,
