HNT: Don't panic - stay focused
Csaba Laszlo today called upon players and supporters not to panic after last night's Co-operative Insurance Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Airdrie United.
The Tynecastle side created enough chances to win the game, but ultimately a lack of cutting edge in front of goal cost the Clydesdale Bank Premier League side dearly.
Despite the result, Csaba was upbeat when he spoke to Hearts News today. "It is very disappointing to lose but we must not lose faith in our team," he said.
"We have a very young team at Hearts, and we will win together and lose together. We will grow by going forward on our road as a team. We're not Barcelona and results like last night will happen as we progress.
"No team wins every game, but we have ideas and we must learn and progress. As a team we all have responsibility because we are doing a serious job. Everything is possible, though and I am very satisfied with our progress.
"We have a good test against Hamilton on Saturday when the players must show very good character so our supporters can celebrate with us again."
Meanwhile, with the transfer window closing on Monday night, speculation is becoming frenzied in Scottish football as to who's going where.
The hullaballoo has passed over Csaba who is more interested Saturday's game against Hamilton than newspaper tittle-tattle!
Having recruited Polish midfielder Adrian Mrowiec earlier this morning the manager is focused on the trip to New Douglas Park.
"Listen, we are always interested in good players if they have quality, but we do not have millions to spend and we must spend what we have very wisely," he explained.
"We won't talk about names at the moment however I don't think we will make too many more signings. We have Adrian and this is good news.
"I tell you what is more important. It is more important that we take three points against Hamilton if we can!"
