Jonsson hoping for home comforts
Hearts midfielder Eggert Jonsson wants to make Tynecastle a fortress once more as they prepare for Sunday's visit of Dundee United.[LNB] The Edinburgh outfit won nine of their 19 home games in last season's disappointing sixth-place finish in the Scottish Premier League and the Iceland international reckons a trip to the capital was less daunting than it used to be.[LNB]Hearts are looking to build on the momentum of their impressive start to the season. After drawing with St Johnstone on the opening day, they overcame Hamilton 4-0 last weekend before scoring four more against Third Division side Elgin in the Co-operative Insurance Cup on Tuesday night.[LNB]Hearts are keen to get back into Europe this season and Jonsson reckons they need to make the most of home advantage.[LNB]He said: "We are only three games into the season so it's too early to say, but we want to be hard to beat and make Tynecastle a fortress like it used to be.[LNB]"Sometimes we didn't manage to do that last season. Jim Jefferies came in as the new manager and the team is now set up the way he wants.[LNB]"Now I think we're going to be more hard to beat and hopefully we can use our home advantage with the fans to make it a hard place to come."[LNB]Jonsson played and scored in the 4-0 thrashing of Elgin in what was his first appearance of the season after missing the first two SPL matches due to suspension.[LNB]The versatile player cut a frustrated figure looking on from the stands against Saints and Accies but admits the promising performances have lifted his spirits.[LNB]He said: "It's good to be back, I had to sit out the first two games and it was really hard but I'm glad to be back.[LNB]"It was to good to play on Tuesday night, it was a good result and the whole team has had a good start to the season so it's great to be back in the mix again.[LNB]"It's hard watching on if you've worked hard during the pre-season and then you can't contribute to the team. The team has had a good start and that's made it easier and I'm just glad to be back now."
