'Sick feeling in stomach' - are Reedijk's Hibs in relegation fight?

What the report says

Hibernian’s poor start under new manager Marink Reedijk has raised early alarm over whether the club could be drawn into a relegation battle. BBC Sport reports that Hibs lost their first two league matches under the Dutch coach, leaving them bottom of the Scottish Premiership and prompting boos from supporters after Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Falkirk at Easter Road.

Reedijk said he disliked the position his team are in and described leaving the match with a “strange” or “sick” feeling, while arguing that Hibs did not deserve to lose based on their performance. He urged the squad to cut out individual mistakes, improve finishing and build momentum. The BBC’s coverage noted that Hibs had more possession and several encouraging attacking metrics against Falkirk, but still created fewer shots on target and again failed to take points.

The article places the result in a wider run of concern: Hibs have taken only one point from their last 18 available and have not won a league match at home in more than six months. Former players quoted by BBC Sport said the club look short on confidence and clarity, although Reedijk stressed he sees signs of progress. With tough fixtures ahead, including Celtic and Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi-final, the challenge for Hibs is to improve quickly while avoiding further drift toward the bottom of the table.
