Steven Naismith urges patience for Hearts' summer transfers as pressure grows on Tynecastle boss

dailyrecord.co.uk

Steven Naismith knows he is under growing pressure to put an end to Hearts' miserable start to the season - but believes his summer signings need more time to settle at Tynecastle.

The Jambos have lost three and drawn one of their first four Premiership matches this season and have already been dumped out the Premier Sports Cup by Championship side Falkirk.

Naismith's men were also defeated by Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League qualifying play-off round and have now dropped into the revamped league phase in the Conference League.

Some sections of the Tynecastle support have started to turn against their under-fire boss, with the players departing to a chorus of boos in the 1-0 home loss to Dundee United before the international break.
