Reedijk Faces Growing Pressure After Two Pointless Games
Marink Reedijk’s start at Hibernian has turned sharply difficult: two games have brought no points, and boos greeted him at full time at Easter Road. The manager has described a sick feeling in his stomach, while the early results have raised an urgent question for Hibs supporters: could the club be drawn into a relegation battle?
Key takeaways
- Hibs have taken no points from Reedijk’s first two games.
- Supporters booed at full time at Easter Road, adding to the pressure on the manager.
- The available information does not establish Hibs’ league position or whether relegation is a realistic threat.
The results and reaction mark a difficult opening, but two matches alone do not settle the longer-term outlook. The team’s position in the table and upcoming performances will be essential to judging the scale of the danger.
A difficult start for Reedijk
Two games without a point have left Reedijk with little room for an easy settling-in period. The boos at Easter Road signal visible frustration among at least some supporters, making the response to the next fixtures especially important. The information available does not include scores, opponents or details of the performances, so it is not possible to identify what went wrong on the pitch.
Is Hibs in a relegation fight?
The question is being asked, but the reported results alone cannot answer it. A credible assessment would require Hibs’ league position, the gap to the teams below them and the form of their rivals. Without those details, describing the club as being in a relegation fight would go beyond what is known.
For Reedijk, the immediate challenge is to turn the first two games into a short, contained setback rather than a pattern. Points in the next matches could ease the mood; continued losses would intensify scrutiny and make the standings harder to ignore.
What happens next
The next stretch of fixtures will provide a clearer measure of both the team’s response and the pressure on its manager. Supporters will be looking for results, but also signs that Hibs can arrest the slide. For now, the boos and empty points make this a worrying beginning—not, on the available evidence, proof of a relegation crisis.
