CI Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 apologies, for some reason i thought he was a defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 apologies, for some reason i thought he was a defender He's played Right Back for the reserves at times and one of his first matches in the first team was at Right Back, he even got Man of the Match if I recall, but since then McLeish has played him as a Defensive Midfielder.

Rob182 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Herd was quality on Saturday imo. His tenacity and workrate has always been good, but his passing and skill on the ball was much better than anything I've seen from him before. He was also very confident in the interview on AVTV. I wish we could play Gardner & Herd together in the middle, but it may lack experience, so we need to put old-man Petrov in there to take shots at the First Aid sign behind the goal every 20 minutes.

VillaGoMarching Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thought Herd was first class on Saturday, Only disapointment for me was when he took the ball down on the edge of the box in the second half and didn't have the confidence to have a strike.

Could go with 3 in the Middle (petrov,herd and Gardner), but we would have to leave out Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 He´s a bit like Scott Parker, sort of Scott Parker of the super light form if you know what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjames333 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Great goal today. His emergence is one of the few bright points in this shitty season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killeen30 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Took his goal really well, nice finish indeed! More of that please Chris! Has alway scored for the reserves so it's nice to see him chip in with one this season now after him progressing steadily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I quite like him, would have worked so well with someone like Milner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think Herd with time will be our next Barry/Milner type.. He's an absolute engine in that midfield, is a pretty decent defender, is rather good going forward and from the goal yesterday has a very good right foot on him.

lexicon Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Wonderful strike yesterday from him - didn't know he had that in his locker at all. I've got a lot of time for HERRRDYYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Out of all the youngsters (even though herd is 23) he is the only one I warranting a place in starting 11 next August. The rest haven't looked convincing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanvilla_1994 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 He's been brilliant and as I've said before he is probably the only positive of the Mcleish tenure so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Houllier saw something in him last season. He was spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 He's been brilliant and as I've said before he is probably the only positive of the Mcleish tenure so far. There are more positives; - Herd showing his quality. - Ireland finally coming good. - Bannan finally showing more of what he can do. - Lichaj playing well. Couple that with some other bonuses that may pay off such as Weimann and Carruthers getting a chance slowly and we have some very good players that McLeish is giving chances to. Yes some of these chances are forced due to injury, but many like Bannan and Herd etc. They are coming good because McLeish has had the faith in them to play them regularly.. If the rest can get that amount of play time we may have a young, but exciting starting 11 next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm - with so many positives - its a wonder we are so far down the table - and a dischanted fan base and slumping attendances. or perhaps you're seeing there all missing ?

Daweii Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 What I'm seeing is positives in some of the players we have, though I can see why there is disenchantment as it's all drowned in a sea of poor tactics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
