Judgment Nai

Winter games will decide if boss has what it takes to bring Hearts to the boil

IT’S genuinely make-or-break time for Steven Naismith at Hearts. 

The next five or six games are going to be huge for him as head coach.

If we don’t get the right results, he could be majorly under pressure.

He and the team have to find some form of consistency because it hasn’t been there this season.

You only have to look at Hearts’ results.

They can be good one week and rubbish the next.

The Hearts team now need to display a bit of form and show everybody what they are trying to build towards.

They have a difficult run of games coming up. They are at Motherwell tomorrow, home to St Johnstone, away to Kilmarnock, home to Rangers, then on the road to Aberdeen as well as Celtic.

It is a horrible run of fixtures. You look at those games and it really is getting to a critical stage. The season could go one way or the other.
