Heart were beaten 2-0 by Brisbane Roar over the weekend but head coach John van 't Schip found positives in the defeat.

"We are in a process of getting things into the team, trying players, combinations but it's going to take time in every aspect to build this club," he told Heart's official website.

"The match was a great opportunity for the young players to come in and test themselves, but the learning process we are all in will take time, and that is something that will keep on going right through the season.

"There are also many people still to come in like Josip Skoko, Michael Beauchamp, Matt Thompson, Wayne Srhoj, Alex Terra, Michael Marrone and Gerald Sibon, who are all important players for our Club and have a big role to play."
