'Embarrassing. How can you expect the fans to believe we can pull off a win on Sunday?' - Hearts fans react to latest defeat at St Johnstone

Jambos up and down the country have taken to social media to vent their frustrations in wake of the 1-0 defeat in Perth that leaves the club joint bottom of the Premiership.

Hearts fans have vented their anger at both Craig Levein and Ann Budge. Picture: SNS

@martinsmurray: “So this Budge ‘master plan’ is going to plan it seems. Apparently he’s doing a good job”

@mikey1874: “Getting to the stage where I am not caring anymore. Management showing no sign of fight or battle. Just rolling out the same old interviews week in week out. Sucking the life out of this fan”

@Nizzy79: “This has to stop. Not good enough. Do the honourable thing and step aside. You have done your best but it isn't good enough. Thanks for service”

@DylanLumsdenn_: “Embarrassing. How can u expect the fans to believe we can pull off a win on Sunday?”

@FitbaFerlie: “Reckon Craig will try and stay on hoping to get us to the final of league cup, then ab can say he has taken team to another final. We’re supposed to be a club with ambitions of reaching Europe. If this continues we’ll be reaching the Championship again”

@jambof3tornado: “Pretty clear how the fans feel. If he wont quit he should be sacked. If he cared at all about the club he would have left months ago. #leveinout”

@adairfraser: “We all know the script before we even go, Craig Levein's tactics lose without a goal lose without a goal”

@Scott98568127: “Said it before and will say it again, if Budge doesn't care about the fans enough to get rid of levein then the fans should cancel the direct debits. The guy has the safest job in world football, no other club in the world would allow 1 individual that much power”

@Caprcali: “Gutless “performance” devoid of any ideas. If it was dire it would be an improvement on that garbage”

@CornerRadish: “Got to the stage now where we as fans stop caring. This result wasn't a surprise. As it stands we are going to be relegated and our management won't do anything about it”

@mike-mcgrail: “Leaving him in charge amounts to seriously irresponsible approach to running a business, never mind a football club. It can't go on. Surely”

Meanwhile, what about the eternal optimists?

@billsteed1972: “Only 11 points off third now”

@smclean1986: “Only lost by 1! That’s a positive”
