The lack of consistency from Hibs is alarming, but not a surprise. Tuesday night's home defeat by Kilmarnock - Hibs' third successive league loss and sixth in a row at homer in the Premiership - came after one of the poorest performances at Easter Road I can remember in recent years. The statistics show Hibs dominated possession and had more shots on goal than Kilmarnock, but they rarely troubled Max Stryjek in the visitors' goal.
