Heart finally celebrated their first A-League success last time out, seeing off North Queensland Fury, and now Bolton believes it is about putting together a good 90 minutes.

Any new side takes time to click but the former Sydney FC keeper is encouraged by what he sees in front of him.

''The team is starting to gel together a bit more, in patches, it's just a matter of keeping the tempo through the majority of a game,'' he told The Age.

''We have been playing good halves, not so good halves, but if we get it all together we are going to be a decent team. We will give it a really good shake.

"Finals time we will be really hard to beat because we have got a lot of big-game players in our team.''

Heart look to build on that win over Fury when they travel to Central Coast Mariners on Friday night.
