'Awful game', 'Treble is on', 'Keep the faith' - Hearts fans mixed in review of win over Cowdenbeath

Hearts defeated Cowdenbeath but it wasn't the most impressive of performances. Picture: SNS

It took a late Craig Halkett header to seal the win and three points in the Betfred Cup encounter after the Blue Brazil had frustrated the visitors throughout.

Those fans watching on streams weren't overly impressed with the performance but many were happy the team have now recorded back-to-back wins.

@IainMerc: “Another win and a clean sheet. Take the positives and move on.”

@Buzzo1947: “Shocking performance from Hearts.”

@LiamGMck: “Not a great game but... another win, another 90 mins, another game unbeaten, still not conceded. Keep the faith fam.”

@HeartsViewsonly: “Wasn’t the best but a wins a win.”

@MacNaBracha: “Another awful game TBH. I hope Neilson instils a sense of urgency into the squad or it won't be long before someone takes advantage.”

@GaryMilligen: “Nowhere near good enough. Need to find their feet fast. First league game in less than a week.”

@CocoSaysFTH: “Well done. Winning breeds confidence and we're slowly but surely getting that back. Lets smash Raith on Tuesday.”

@maroonross: “Not the dreadful performance it has been made out as, not great but no where near as bad as Twitter would have you think.”

@BrownConyn: “Was a hard watch but good to get a win again. Need Boyce and Smith back pronto.”

@neiIsxn: “Undefeated under Neilson, treble here we come.

@kckevin1309: “A win is a win! Doesn't matter the score, as long as we score more than the opposition!”

@bigdrambuie: “Need a new defender in. Time for Halkett to become a striker again?”

@BugsySiegel22: “Very poor display. A lot of improvement needed.”

@tonymurray51: “Two clean sheets don’t think we did that last season.”

@robbiemck134: “The Hearts are back baby.”

David Thomson: “Hmmm, take the points but that’s about it. Not particularly happy that it’s taken our centre half to win the game for us, need the players at the other end chipping in. Wins a win though.”

@theitalianjambo: “Not (too) bad, at least in the second half. At least we keep winning. Hopefully Naismith comes back to his best asap 'cause we need his class to lead the team.Halkett and #Popescu look really solid at the back, thankfully”
