Hart frustrated by Hibs' home woes
Michael Hart has assured the Hibernian fans that the players share their frustration at a winless home run which now stands at nine games.[LNB] Hibs were held to a 1-1 draw in Saturday's clash with Hamilton, again conceding the early lead and jeered off the pitch for a second successive week after failing to end an Easter Road barren streak which dates back to March 6.[LNB]"I don't know about the fans, but I think the players are more desperate than them to get a home win," said Hart.[LNB]"We want to play good football and win, but it's getting to the point where we just need to get any sort of win.[LNB]"We'll just keep playing football and hopefully the result will come."[LNB]Derek Riordan netted a ninth-minute opener, hit the bar with a free-kick soon afterwards and Colin Nish had a second-half effort ruled out for offside after Marco Paixao had netted a 22nd-minute equaliser, leaving Hibs without a win since the 3-2 opening day victory at Motherwell.[LNB]Hart, who joined this summer after leaving Preston, added: "It's frustrating that we're getting a lead and throwing it away.[LNB]"We need to learn to take our chances when they come and at the other end we need to try and shut up shop."[LNB]Had Riordan's 25-yard free-kick after 12 minutes bounced in off the bar, rather than a yard in front of the line, or Nish's effort - a strike Hibs manager John Hughes insisted should not have been disallowed - stood, three points would have been secure.[LNB]"You've got to make your own luck," said Hart.[LNB]"We're in a position because of the way we're playing and we're the only ones that can get ourselves out of it.[LNB]"It's frustrating every game when you don't come away with the three points against teams everybody expects to beat.[LNB]"On our game we're brilliant, passing the ball, no team can get near us.[LNB]"But we can do that for nine times out of 10 passes and the 10th one will be horrific and a team will come through and score against us.[LNB]"We're frustrating ourselves and it's showing through the fans."[LNB]Hibs travel to Kilmarnock in the Co-operative Insurance Cup third round on Wednesday with Hart and his team-mates desperate for success ahead of next Saturday's league trip to Celtic.[LNB]"We've just got to go and play the way we can play and we'll beat anyone," said the 30-year-old.[LNB]"We probably need to play a little bit more sensibly and try to grind a result out.[LNB]"The main thing is that we're in the hat come the next round of the cup."
