MELBOURNE Heart will soon click into a run of good form to get the A-League talking.
So says striker David Williams, who believes the Heart can soon mirror their training track efforts and snap back to the form of their opening game and a half of the season.
That produced a dominant week-one win over Melbourne Victory and a delightful first half of touch and invention without capitalising against Wellington Phoenix, eventually drawing 1-1.
But two subsequent defeats to Perth Glory and Central Coast Mariners pitch the Heart as a team with more question marks than clear answers about their ability to challenge this season.
"I guarantee we will go through a run of form quite soon that will get a lot of people talking about Melbourne Heart," Williams said on Wednesday.
"I feel as a team collectively we've been doing very well on the training park, but it's hard to talk about training because no one really sees training - they only see the games."
While it is early to be talking about season-defining matches, the Heart's Parramatta Stadium clash with Western Sydney Wanderers on Friday night would appear critical for the visitors to relaunch.
The Wanderers are on a high, after the club's first win in their brief history over champions Brisbane Roar last weekend, and have impressed with their organisation and competitiveness.
Williams admits to being impressed with the Wanderers, who have former Heart assistant Ante Milicic on staff.
But he believes the Heart will succeed for the rest of the season if they back themselves more, especially when on goal.
"We have the backing of the coaches but, when we go out there, we have to 100 per cent know it's a game for us and be confident of winning.
"For the strikers, it's backing yourself to score. Defenders - it might be to win their 50-50 battles.
"It's the confidence you give yourself. If you don't back yourself to actually know you can do the job, you probably won't do it."
Few have benefited more from Heart's change of coach from John van 't Schip to John Aloisi than Williams.
Reduced to a peripheral figure under the Dutchman, the 24-year-old has been emphatically backed in by his new coach.
An invigorated performance echoing his North Queensland Fury form a couple of seasons ago - which took him to the brink of Socceroo selection - came in week one, with a goal in the win over the Victory.
"For a variety of reasons, I feel a lot better this year, and happy with how we are as a club," Williams said.
