No easing off for Jonsson

Eggert Jonsson admits Hearts' victory over Celtic will count for nothing if they do not follow it up with another three points at Dunfermline.[LNB] Hearts bounced back from a 2-0 defeat at St Johnstone by beating Neil Lennon's men by the same scoreline at Tynecastle.[LNB]However, manager Paulo Sergio has warned in recent weeks that he does not want a "two-faced" team who do well at home and badly away.[LNB]Hearts have won five matches in Gorgie this season but have not won in their last 15 matches on the road in all competitions, a run stretching back to a victory over Hamilton at New Douglas Park in February.[LNB]Sergio's men now come up against a Dunfermline side who have not won at East End Park this season and have conceded eight goals in their last two matches.[LNB]So Jonsson is well aware that they cannot afford another slip-up away from home as they look to consolidate their position in the top four of the Scottish Premier League.[LNB]The victory over Celtic put Hearts into fourth place but they remain four points behind Motherwell going into the weekend and owner Vladimir Romanov was quick to remove previous manager Jim Jefferies after he secured third place in the table.[LNB]The versatile Iceland international said: "The St Johnstone game away was just a bad day for us.[LNB]"We spoke after the game and everyone was disappointed.[LNB]"There was no better game to bounce back than playing Celtic at home.[LNB]"We knew what we had to do and that was obviously to win the game and get three points.[LNB]"But since then we can't really talk about it. Okay, we won but now we have to look forward and going from Celtic to Dunfermline away.[LNB]"If we don't get a good result in this game then the Celtic game doesn't mean anything.[LNB]"You can't just go and beat Celtic and not perform against the teams we think we should be winning against."
