WARREN O'HORA insists the high expectations at Hibs are part of the reason he joined the club.
So the defender is ready to confront the challenge of proving the doubters wrong.
David Gray's side have looked far from convincing in only collecting just one point from their opening three Premiership games as they prepare to head to Kilmarnock tomorrow.
Defensive mistakes have dogged the Leith outfit at the start of the season.
Those errors were evident again as they lost a late equalising goal to Dundee in last weekend's 2-2 draw.
O'Hora was at fault on that occasion after allowing scorer Simon Murray to get goal side of him.
But the former MK Dons centreback does not mind being under extra scrutiny at Easter Road.
He said: "I knew what I was coming in to. As a footballer, you want to be at a club where the expectations are high and the demands are high.
"For me, that has not been a surprise.
Obviously the start of the season hasn't been good enough and you get told that straight away and that's what I knew I was coming into.
