Ryan porteous

[21sMay]

This lad could play a part this season . Take away the goals and he has still strolled through games . Loves a tackle and is great in the air. He is also a massive hibs fan which is always a bonus

Love this lad!! Cool as, and he can play.

[GreenCastle]

We had a thread on him a week or so ago.

Having watched him and a few others of the young development team last season we have a few excellent young players coming through.

Ryan is the next Hanlon and a bonus he is scoring too!

Keep up the good work.

[frazeHFC]

Looked liked he'd been in our first team for years. Very good performance again.

[GGTTH07]

Absolutely delighted for him. Nothing better than one of our won representing us! Deserves to be in the mix for next Saturday.

[Stevie Reid]

Looks like he will be a very good player for us.

[Billy Whizz]

The likes of Porteous, Murray and Shaw etc, have all Glenn given a chance by Lennon, and taken it
Lennon went to most the development games last season, coaching from the side, so he knows what they are capable of

[Billychaotic182]

Don't want to get ahead of myself but he is really talented and strolled through the games he has played so far

[edinburghhibee]

Tin hat firmly on here but I thought he got caught out on numerous occasions in the first half today because he was diving in. Looks a good prospect but still a lot to work on I think.

Took both goals well and got the penalty we missed though so I won't grumble too much about it.

He's only just turned 18, Lennon's got a big decision to make, whether to keep him or put him out on loan until January

Can't see him going out now. If we play three at the back a lot, we'll need him around. But most importantly, he looks the part.

I was just going to post the same, there was a couple of times in the second half that there was a hole in his side of the back 3, which would have cost us against a better team.
But you can get away with that more in that sort of game, and i'm sure he'll learn.

[Fritz]

Wonder how much he'll realistically feature in the league this season though. McGregor and Ambrose first choice pairing? Hanlon back when fit, Fontaine there too. Even if we play 3 at the back he might not get much game time. Might be better for his development to go out on loan as was the original plan.

I still think he'll go out on loan at the end of the window, if everyone in defence is fit. We won't play 352 every week, and we've got McGregor, Ambrose, Hanlon and Fontaine available

[Craig_HFC]

He got caught out a couple of times positionally tonight but that'll come with experience. He looks like a very promising player, very comfortable on the ball and very strong in the air.

We did get caught down his side once or twice, but I'd put it more down to David Gray getting caught up the park than anything to do with Porteous.

I thought I noticed him give it away once in the first half and I saw him beaten to a header in the second, but other than that I thought it was one of the most exemplary performances I've seen from a young Hibs player.

Strong in the tackle, won his headers, a threat in the opposition box, good and very composed on the ball, not afraid to take a touch and some superb long passing and switching of the play.

I know it was only Arbroath but I thought that was an absolutely superb performance from him.

Lennon is going to have some tough decisions to make.

(FWIW I thought Fontaine was very good tonight too, and whilst Ambrose had some shaky moments in the first half he went on to have a much better second half).

[lucky]

Played well but I doubt he's going to play to much this season. Id like to loan him out till January but he has to play and then bring him back and give him some game time in some matches.

[Nevi_SOL]

a loan to a Dundee United or Dunfermline or something would suit both parties if a loan is what's going to happen. Would love to see him make it here though

Whilst the experience of a loan in the Championship would be good, we lost Fontaine and Hanlon to long term injuries last year. Would rather have him here.

Him and Hanlon together could see us through the next 5/10 years. Two footballing CHs together - the Row Z boys will hate that.

For me he is much better than Fontaine. Not as experienced obviously....but so much more about him as a player.

[RamYer1902]

Porteous is a superb player but let's be honest, the best thing for his development would be a loan to a championship club where he will play competitive football week in, week out but have a recall clause in his contract should we need him back.

He made a couple of slack passes but this seemed to shock him into not making mistakes for a long period while still attempting through balls and more high risk/reward passes successfully.

He's a very exciting prospect and seems eager to impress and hold onto his jersey. Fonts must be smelling the stand as he was just good today but the bar has been raised.

[Eyrie]

First time I've seen Porteous play and he was deservedly man of the match.

[Ozyhibby]

I think a loan until Jan would be best. He has been outstanding but he needs to be playing every week and that might not happen here.

Yeh i kind of agree with that. He needs game time now and he's far to good for the Dev level of football. IF we get an injury we just get him right back into the team.

[B.H.F.C]

Great prospect. Not been properly tested yet so don't think we should go overboard. However, him and Murray, have a real chance.

[kevinc]

I believe that a loan that a loan to Dumbarton was discussed some weeks ago and may still happen.

[greenlex]

With Hanlon liable to break down at any time with his injury and Forster going I can't see Porteous going anywhere.

I think its a big jump to assume Hanlon will break down. He's had a good break, done plenty work building himself back into shape. He strolled though the game at the weekend and there is nothing to suggest he wont be back playing almost every game like he did in the past. I spoke to him after and he said he felt great just stiff as you would expect. His hip wasnt bothering him.
