I think that's what I sometimes forget because he's so good. I was moaning about him ball watching at the 1st goal as he got dragged into the wrong area twice in the build up. Then I remembered he's a young lad and has barely put a foot wrong for us; James McPake done the same 5 times a game in his late 20s and became something of a cult hero.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

He's going to be a star and it's good now that Daz is fit that Lennon can give him a wee rest as and when he needs it.

He has it all in his locker Still learning his Trade though But I think it's clear he is going to go on and become a Future Hibs Captain and play his waynintonFull Scotland set up eventually
Can't praise the Laddie more than that
Yep playing alongside Effe seemed to make him replicate some Efffie moments .But he can only imptove with more First Team Experience . With Daz and Hanlon both injured already this Season ,he has had more game time than he would of expected this early in the Season .
The jury may still be out on how good Ollie can be ,But Ryan is The Real Deal
I know he is on a Long Term contract but probably not on great money Think he deserves new improved Contract We need to look after our ownLast edited by Ronniekirk; 16-09-2018 at 07:32 AM.

I think Porteous has a great future in front of him if he has luck with injuries and applies himself the right way. However I do think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves with their expectations of the laddie. Daz, Efe and Paul are experienced centre backs and should still be in the team before him with Ryan filling in for injuries and suspension. He probably still likely to get 25-30 games anyway which is probably plenty for him while he is developing without being subjected to the pressure of being a mainstay of the team.

I often think that more than any other position centre halves have to learn from experience, and they're not often big enough to be chucked in young and thrive.
He's doing very well for us so far.
It will have helped him that Efe was as focused as he was yesterday.

This.
Porteous has great potential and is the perfect long term replacement for McGregor but yesterday was one of his poorest games I’ve seen. Really struggled against both Brophy & Stewart.
However it’s a learning curve for him. Still a very good defender.

Didn't have his best game yesterday but he is still a young laddie and learning. If he keeps his head down and works hard then he will go really far IMO. He seems to have a good attitude about him, important he doesn't get carried away though as so many other young ones have.
I watched the development team quite a few times last season and it was clear to see that he stood out.

He's a real prospect and has a great chance of achieving big things in the game with a bit of luck and hard graft.
He'll improve with experience as well, if we keep him until his mid-twenties we'll have done well. It won't be long until bigger clubs come calling for him.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Another week, another Porteous post match thread.
Maybe the Admins should consider doing what seemed apparent on the Villa forum where they seem to merge all such threads into one. For example, the Hutton thread I read started when he joined Villa in 2011 and is still going strong today.
The boy is class, but don't see why we need to start a thread every week. As some have already stated, I don't think he's been his best the last two games.

I'll get hammered for this but I honestly think he's massively overrated, and I don't mean he's poor he's just not as good atm as everyone would like to think although potential is there..wouldn't be this hype if he never came through the youth system. He is strong in the tackle, and good in the air. But he needs to learn his limits and realise he doesn't need to try nick it off the attacker everytime, at least once in every game he's diving in and getting turned..and I really don't want to see him stepping into midfield.

You've highlighted that he already has the tools, so he has plenty of time to learn to recognise situations and what the appropriate response is.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Had a couple of slack passes and caught out a few times yesterday which was frustrating but then I remembered he’s just a kid and these things will happen while he is learning and developing but he’s going to be a top player in 3/4 years.

He has done the hardest thing for all players of bridging the gap between development player to first team player.
I would give him a rest now and get the real deal McGregor back in.
Efe's contract is up in the summer and McGregor is beginning to have age related knee injuries.
Think Porteous will be the man alongside Hanlon possibly as soon as next season.
He is developing brilliantly but folk have to cut him a bit of slack.

A number of threads on various players getting pulled up for trying things (e.g Efe, American dude) you don’t try things (that may/may not come off) you don’t learn or explore the possibilities.

Unless we start having players who never make a mistake, we will always have games where we lose goals, misplace passes and have players who give an up and down performance.
It appears now though, that whenever a player has a slight dip in form for a single game, he needs a rest or dropped for someone who's suddenly got better by being on the bench or been out injured and probably not back to full match fitness.
Losing a goal now has become almost a criminal offence to some of our support, and whoever has been deemed responsible needs dropped and sometimes shot.
Sometimes goals we concede are great strikes, or well worked, not every goal we lose has to be such a bloody drama.

Think the lad has a big future in the game. Looks extremely comfortable at Scotland under 21 and Premiership level. He'll have a lot of clubs monitoring his progress closely.

I think it probably stems from Sky Sports over analysis of every incident and their need to find blame for every goal.
Porteous made a few slack passes in the first half but in hindsight, so what? The slack passes he made were in the right area when we had plenty cover or they were made further up the park. The level of scrutiny players are under now is incredible, literally every single mistake is being noted down and brought up on places like this. He is a young guy still adjusting to first team football and i think he had 2, possibly 3 miss-placed passes but other than that he was pretty solid throughout.
I think we appear to be chasing perfection and failure to deliver that should result in him being dropped or rested?
Fwiw looking back, i am as guilty as anyone for that and i remember saying on Saturday maybe he should be rested however with the benefit of hindsight and after having a couple of days to think about it I think i was being pretty harsh.

Just been announced that he has been voted Player of the Month by the supporters. Yes, I'm a big fan of Ryan and yes I voted for him.

Thought he was very good again today. He was caught out of position a couple of times but recovered well.
I'm also confident he'd run through walls for the jersey and that endears him to me.

still needs to learn not to dive in, that will come with more games and learning though, has the potential to be a very good CH
