And you have a clue ? Hanlon has been part of some off the worst results in our history and the captain / leader of the team in another 2 shocking big game results this season but you still think he is brilliant and defend him to the hilt.
Can't always be everybody apart from Hanlon's fault .

It’s not always someone else’s fault either, and I’ve said he was ***** yesterday, and had been poor recently.
Your points are erratic and nonsensical, and I don’t think you’ve got a clue.

Not sure how that works.
Do you still think Hanlon should be mainstay and captain of our team or has he had his time and should move on ?

To save me reading a few pages... a lot of people now think Porteous is pish and it’s Paul Hanlon’s fault?
You’d think this was hibs.net shortly after a bad defeat in a big game or something.

I do think he should still be playing every week. I don’t think whether he’s captain or not is really that important. I see the captain as the go between with management and squad. A senior player who is trusted by management and players. The captain should also speak to the ref. The whole “get the team going” thing I don’t really buy into. The players out there shouldn’t need anyone to motivate them, they’re professional footballers and they should be motivated as an absolute minimum requirement.

Does Ryan really think hes that good?
Whenever I've seen him interviewed he also comes across as a grounded, humble well rounded young player

The call up to the Scotland squad seems to have affected Ryan in all the wrong ways. It's as if he's trying to develop into the player he thinks he needs to be to get in the Scotland team rather than to continue as he was doing to get the recognition in the 1st place. Maybe if he listened to his captain rather than the Scotland manager he'd get back to doing what he was doing pretty well.

The measure of how good our players are is if any other clubs wants to buy them, not many beating the door down to get our defenders anytime soon !

There is a common theme in soft hibs teams for years and it certainly isn’t Ryan.

Maybe if hibs had addressed the problem we have had with lack of competition for the central defence we wouldn't be continually talking about this problem, but we seem to think signing loads of midfielders usually unfit or injured will fix the problem

Porteous has improved since he first broke into the side and we should remember he had a serious injury as well. There are definitely signs the rashness and hot headedness he showed early in his career has lessened.
However there was chat when he was 1st on the fringes of the 1st team that we had a future Scotland captain on our hands and one of the best young CBs in Europe. I'll accept the latter was probably slightly tongue in cheek but the former still gets an airing from time to time. I'm not sure his development is quick enough for him to have the career some expected tbh. As a comparison Christopher Berra was only a couple of years older than Porteous when he went down to Championship Wolves who were promoted to the Premier League in the 1st season. Berra has had a decent career but not a great one. 'Late developer' Andy Robertson was a year younger than Porteous when he went down to Hull City. Does Porteous look like he will be ready to play EPL football in the next year or 2 at his current rate of development?
I think we have a good CB in Porteous who is still prone to the odd bad mistake. He's not a baby though and is approaching 100 senior games now. He needs to take big strides forward in the next season and a bit if he is going to reach the levels some predicted and we all hope for for him.

And that is a damning indictment of our systematic failings in first-team coaching, sports science, in-game management, psychological support and in our system of player mentoring.
