dudevillaisnice Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think he has improved (slightly) in his passing.. at times it was all over the place but he seems to have improved on it which is good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkee Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 my favourite player, improving every match. it is pity that he was injured, it slowed his progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liono Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I didn't think Herd would be good, I've changed my mind. Looks decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Him and Petrov make our side alot more balanced, They tired in the 2nd half on Saturday due to just coming back from injury and it showed but we only really have Clark that can play that role aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He just looked so assured slotting right back in on Saturday as if he had been in the first team for ten years not ten matches. Such a huge improvement on last season when the little we saw of him I (and many others) weren't sure he was even worth bringing off the bench for the end of matches. Hope he can get even better! One of the first names on the team sheet for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laivasse Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Becoming our essential bit of bite in midfield. He's looking a better prospect than I thought he would be, but I still think he needs to be calmed down a little and discouraged from forcing the play when he's in possession.

VillaChris Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I didn't think Herd would be good, I've changed my mind. Looks decent. Same for me. I thought he'd be moved onto a lower league side like Lowry. Suppose it's proof that he might not have the technique of say a Bannan but he certainly has the desire to succeed.

Villarocker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Was total quality today imo and deservedly got motm. Looking forward to watching him play fir us for many years to come. Shame AM subbed him though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 For me Herd is one of the very few positives since Mcleish took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyClarke Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Needs to spend more time on his feet. Plays like a young Stuart McCall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't see it, guys. I'm sorry, but I don't. Herd hasn't impressed me. He has a good engine and some bite in his tackle, but so do Jay Spearing and Lee Cattermole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 He's a very important player for us now. If you take out the West Brom game where he was stupidly sent off when we were winning (and he was our best player at that point), he's started 8 games in midfield, winning 3 drawing 3 and losing to Spurs away and United at home. He has the engine to balance Petrov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a good engine and some bite in his tackle, but so do Jay Spearing and Lee Cattermole. Speaking as a season ticket holder I can safely say that Chris Herd has been one of the few positives of a poor season. Yesterday I watched this kid win a tackle, play it wide and then be the furthest Villa player forward when the cross came in, despite the fact at least 2 Villa players were ahead of him when he put his challenge in. Chris Herd, if given the chance, will be the ball-winning midfielder for Villa for years to come!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
