3 games in, solid in every one of them - think they’re headed nore balls out in those three games than they did all last season.
Rocky has barely had a save to make over all three games.
Not just down to that pair, but they’ve been outstanding.

Got 2 full backs either side that are pretty solid and gogic is helping a lot. Long may it continue

The defence has been outstanding the past three games
Delighted for Hanlon as many had written him off last season.

Bit of coaching and defending as a team works wonders. Very impressed with them both so far, Porteous looking very solid.

No goals conceded from open play and it's no coincidence. Winning absolutely everything.

Playing well, particularly the defence, two away games and won them both. Definitely looking a lot more solid at the back, hence as someone has already mentioned, no goals lost from open play, keep it up Hibs.

Nothing rash from Porto either. No charging 20yards to kill somebody. Composed and looking the part

Said it plenty of times previously....if you have teams breaking onto a back 4 with our midfield no where to be seen then it doesn’t really matter who you play in defence, you will concede goals. Lots of them.
This year, so far, we have been the opposite of that. Gogic and the rest have made it extremely hard for any team to play through us. That’s forced them wide or to toss balls in from an angle....Porto and Hanlon have therefore been able to see the game in front of them and been superb in their positioning and determination to get the ball clear.
Long may it continue!!

Best players for us this season imo.
Both have been absolutely solid and seem to be relishing teams chucking crosses in the box.

But, but...folk on here as recently as the Killie game were saying we need a completely new defence!
A wee touch of realism needed though. They have not yet faced a real challenge i.e Tic or Huns. But if they can continue to be as solid against the rest (and I include the Sheep in that) it will contribute hugely to a top four finish, maybe more.

Is anyone else like me, scared to admit that they do occasionally hold their breath when Porto goes into A tackle inside our penalty box?

Give our defence some protection, stop the opposition running at them at will, and our centre backs suddenly look good again!
