Mr_Dogg Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Herd is 5' 8", how can he be a CB?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Herd would be a terrible CB, and he's not technically good enough to play CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Herd is 5' 8", how can he be a CB?!I think he's a bit taller than that nowadays. Still under 6'0, but wouldn't make a bad CB if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 He will be the 4th central defender when Dunne goes Good to know Lamberts going to be able to improve the squad by trying to change a very promising midfield player into a centre back. My optimism about the level of backing lerner will give lambert gets smaller every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted August 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2012 Vlaar, Clark, Herd and .... Baker... We will be lucky to stay up just with those options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 To an extent, Herd is good at what he does, covering a lot of ground, putting in tackles, etc. If we want to establish ourselves in the top half again though I think we need a better first choice at DM.

Condimentalist Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Herd is no CB, and Dunne won't be going anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Herd is 5' 8", how can he be a CB?! no comparing but Fabio Cannavaro was a similar size maybe smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think Cannavaro was actually 5' 9". Ridiculous leap on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 People don't realise what a great leap Herdo has on him, When Olson got him sent off in that baggies match last season it was him that had marked Olson on the previous set pieces, he then scored on the following corner. I'll be pleased to see him retained in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Must still be injured, called up in the original squad vs Scotland but didn't feature tonight. Can anyone remember why he got took off vs Peterborough? Hasn't appeared since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone remember why he got took off vs Peterborough? Hasn't appeared since. Yeah he pulled out of the squad earlier this week. The injury from Posh happened when he landed from a corner awkwardly. Not positive what exactly he hurt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I would have him every day of the week in front of the back four instead of Delph. That said Delph would barely make the bench if I was picking the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ^^^ I agree on both points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Delph isn't a DM though, so of course anybody would pick Herd to be a DM over Delph... as Delph cant play that position, he's an attacking minded midfielder and he's never going to be be a decent DM. Should be played at CM, AM, at a push Left Winger and if truly desperate as an attacking LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Delph dwells on the ball too much and his passing is mediocre( **** US dictionary, I have to add that!) at best. That's why he wouldn't get near my squad, certainly not as an attacking CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyHowell Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Having watched Delph since he came he just doesn't seem to me to have the uality to play in the top half of te Premiership. He doesn't impose himself on games and his pasing can be wayward.I reckon he'sll slip into the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 So I am going to guess that Clark's knock was minor and he is back in the fold for this weekend. If not however, and assuming Baker's injury is going to keep him out for a bit, that would probably mean we will see Herd starting at CB this weekend. Will be very interesting to say the least. Although I do like Herd, so if he has to step up in play at CB, I hope he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do like Herd, so if he has to step up in play at CB, I hope he does well. Is Lowton injured, too? Lambert deployed him in the middle a few times in preseason, I imagine he'd be moved in before Herd with Lichaj at RB. Neither Herd nor Lowtown fill me with much confidence as central defenders, though, so hopefully Baker or Clark will be fit. We're gonna need to buy another senior CB in January, methinks.
