Hibs form 'not too big a worry', claims Mykola Kukharevych

Mykola - a difficult afternoon for the team?

“It’s always hard when you lose goals at the very start of the game. But I thought we might have equalised after my goal, because we were playing better.

“I’m still improving. I still have to take a little bit of time to be 100 per cent. But give me a few weeks and I think I will be fine. Better.

“It’s disappointing when we were back in the game, to lose a goal. We’re losing poor goals, especially the third goal. Again. But we have to take our lessons from losing those goals. And not do the same thing again.

“Obviously it was always going to be hard, playing the best team in the league two games in a row. No-one would find it easy against Celtic.

“But we have to look at ourselves. Or focus has to be on improving as a team, becoming better and more effective, and start building something.

“The next two games are so important, 100 per cent. We know we need to get points on the board, we have to start getting points and improve our confidence – and give some good emotions to our fans, who deserve it."

Are you worried by the recent results and form?

“I don't think it's too big a worry at the moment, because we’re still building our game. We’re still improving as a team, bringing in new players.

“Even me, I’ve only been here a couple of weeks. It will take time for us to get settled into the team and understand what is needed. Then we had a difficult start, especially running into Celtic. But now we have to start getting points. No doubt.

“I still believe there are better times ahead for Hibs. I just want to play, keep scoring goals, do everything I can to help this team – and have a good time here.:"

Do you feel for the gaffer?

“Yeah, 100 per cent, it’s not the gaffer who is making these mistakes. We have to change it ourselves, stop making mistakes in the next games. I think we will take our lessons from this. And we will keep going."
