Going to be big stars. Was never in doubt with Porteous and against Salmon it was great to see a young player so dominant and streetwise against a battle scared veteran. Great reader of the game.
Shaw has a phenomenal work rate and is bringing a more physical aspect to his game. Lovely football brain and very decent finisher.
When young players like that come of age (as they are this season) it’s like two high level pedigree signings.

Both of them play as though they’ve got years of experience behind them, it’s amazing they’re both so young.
Porteous especially looked dominant today. A natural replacement for McGregor in the future.

Porteous was superb. Future Scotland centre half and could go all the way in the game.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Agree, both were superb today. Was surprised at how well Boyle and Shaw worked together up top. Porteous won a few crucial headers and strolled it against two big units in Sammon and Main, he is a class act.

Fantastic to have two great young talents breaking through. We're slowly bringing them into the first team nicely and they're both benefiting from it.

I thought Shaw's first touch was much better than it has been. Excellent performance and well worthy of man of the match.

Both done really well today. For me Porteus in particular is the one I'm most excited about. He's going to be a big star!

Don’t rate Oli shaw whatsoever, can’t believe they gave him MOTM today, took his goal well but lost every single header and coughed up possession repeatedly.

Porteous is going to make us an absolute fortune. Not only is he a rock at the back, he’s vocal, and also pretty good on the ball. He had a couple of wayward passes throughout the game but I like that he’s going for those sorts of balls.

Coughed up possession??? Most players do that but his touch at times was excellent.
Opinions eh!
Meant to add I wouldn’t have given him the MOTM but he was a very close second to Ryan who I thought was outstanding today.
Did the right things at the right time (and by this I mean get rid).

Thought the two lads were excellent today, Porteous strolled it and looks a rel player, Shaw oozes class and will only get better, 2 future stars in my opinion.

Porteous is playing so solidly now I would get him in the back 3 permanently...but I can't work out who should step aside out of Ambrose, Hanlon or McGregor

Porteous is a McGregor clone. High hopes for him - imagine if he can improve with the ball at his feet - he could go to the very top.

What is Shaws goals to games ratio? It must be pretty decent.
United we stand here....
