Robbie Neilson insists Hearts must start taking individual responsibility after defeat on the road at Kilmarnock. The Jambos boss believes a run of just one win from their last six games boils down to his players looking in the mirror and asking what more they can do for the club.
Aberdeen narrowed the gap to only one point from the third placed Edinburgh side and Neilson is adamant the cure for recent ills must come from within. He said: "We can talk about tactics, we'll do this and that, but it's player against player. If we look at the game today, if everyone looks individually and says 'did we play better, out muscle or out fight the player we were playing against' they would probably say no.
"That shouldn't happen at Hearts and that's where we need to be ready for it next week because next week it will be the same, It will be a very difficult game against St Mirren, the same style of football, two big strikers, aggressive, and we will have to deal with that.
