Desperately need a CH after Fontaine going off injured.
Young Porteous looks some talent every time i have seen him
for the development team.
Thoughts?

Watched him against the Huns and Celtic recently and looks like he will make it.

If we are allowed to recall Porteous, it would help for our league games but I'm sure he would be cup tied for Ayr game on Saturday.
With MacGregor suspended for Saturday, that leaves us with 0 centre halfs for Saturday. Just stick Holt and Graham in as our 2 centre halfs, that would be interesting.

Could be wrong, but don't believe we are allowed to recall loan players outside of transfer windows....it's the same reason why they couldn't play in the play offs in previous years....

I seem to remember a poster on here being in regular communication with someone at the footballing authorities about it all.

Who have we got at u20 level at centre half who is ready and available to make the step up?
not good that we are getting into the business end of the season and having to rely on a makeshift back four.

we can't sign anyone post the transfer window, unless they were a free agent on 31/1 - you are right though - he would have been a blessing !

Gunnarsson should have been a priority to sign long term. He gives you cover at right back, centre back and gives the option to play a back 3 with wing backs. I don't doubt he could play right mid or even in front of the back 4 in a push.
I get why he didn't sign but really we should have made it happen. A player like that is so valuable to a club like hibs who can't have a huge squad.
Plus he's a ****ing legend!

If Gunnarson had signed he'd have been banging the manager's door down demanding a move in January as he wouldn't have had the opportunity to play anything like enough football in the first half of this season.
It's easy to say with hindsight, but we should have added to the squad in January. I'd have been happy enough to bring Stanton back from his loan and potentially even get Porteous back from his.
There was always a possibility that we would progress in the cup, maybe even with the odd replay thrown in. Many people put our struggles last season down to our lack of squad depth - the same problem is staring us in the face right now.

Not sure if it's the same as the Development Squad?
If so the people playing Centre Back seem to be Kevin Waugh and Ryan Porteous.
Interesting that the latter is playing development squad games for us while out on loan.
Both are obviously young (Waugh turns 19 in April, Porteous 18 on Wednesday).
May be a case of throw them in with the older heads in the defence guiding them in the game and the rest of the team committing to giving the opposition such a ****ing good seeing to that the two young lads think the other team plays exclusively in their own half against the Hibs :)
Either way - interested in what folk who follow the U20s closely know about these guys?

We tried to get Gunnarsson did we not? Sure he said exactly that, that he needed to play more at this stage of his career. See Chris Samba of FM fame is a free agent get him signed only 32!!
