Brechin City 4-1 Hearts: What Critchley said
Hearts manager Neil Critchley: "It's job done. It was a good goal from Yan Dhanda, that settled us down.
"Scoring soon into the second half settled us down, we played some nice football. We've done the job and we're into the next round.
"It was a great strike [from Scott Bright] but up until that we'd been doing OK in the game. The longer it goes at 1-0 the nerves and anxiety grows, we needed that moment of quality to get us back in the game.
"You have to stay calm and composed, the players need you. They need my support, you look to the staff around you and make sure you're giving appropriate advice to the players.
"It takes a little bit of time, that extra bit of physicality, to wear them down. That's not going to look the same in the first 20 minutes, you have to work for that. You're playing a little bit tighter, that inhibits you a little bit. Once we settled down, remembered how to play good football we started to make things more comfortable for ourselves.
"We weren't good enough against Hibs that day [during Boxing Day defeat] but there had been signs before and after that that we're improving.
"We've got a lot to do, we're not where we want to be. We want to breed that winning habit, a cup run would help.
"A couple of singings have helped, refreshed the group and that'll be important for the second half of the season."
