Csaba Laszlo praised his ten-man Hearts side after they held on to beat St Mirren despite having Michael Stewart sent off after only 41 minutes.
Hearts ended a five-match winless sequence by securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Love Street thanks to Eggert Jonsson's 79th-minute effort.
Laszlo said: "We lost the player, there is nothing we could do about that in the game, we had to get on with it.
"For me it was very hard to find a team, to put the puzzle together, especially after losing a player and a game at home against Celtic last week.
"After you win a game sometimes people say that everything was fantastic. No, that wasn't the case.
"We did not play as well as we know we can but there was a lot of hard work. Players out there had character and a winning spirit and the coolness that you need.
"A lot of people in life talk only about problems but for me the most important thing is not the problem, it is the solution."
