Neil Critchley, head coach of Heart of Midlothian, attributes fan dissatisfaction to the club's poor performance but insists progress has been made since his arrival in October. The team struggled in the first half of the season, finishing in the league's bottom half after accumulating only four points from five matches. Critchley acknowledges the disappointment but encourages a forward-looking perspective as they prepare for a vital Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen, where overcoming previous league results will be crucial.
It's always a collective. I'd rather fans point at me than the players. After any game where you don't get the result that you want, there's going to be disappointment, frustration."
But I have to keep a sense of perspective on things. I have to be balanced and rational in my thinking and believe in what we're doing. And I've seen signs of progress."
You have to overcome disappointment. We have to keep looking forward."
Sometimes it's just fine margins. That little bit of luck can change the course of a game or your future."
