LockStockVilla Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Still want to see him given a full shot at the RB spot...since Lambert's been here, the few chances Herd has gotten when fit have been at CB, and it is quite clear that is not his position. Granted I have only seen him play RB just once, but in that match against Wolves he was by far MOTM, so with our threadbare squad, it has to be worth a shot.

Could be a better bet than Lowton, Clark or Baker in defense. At least he's a tryer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think I've seen him play best in the CDM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He is a walking red card. Though we do need a DM and Herd is probably pretty eager to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying isn't something you can fault Baker at, he gives his all, he's just far too basic for a quality premier league Centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Two things for me, fair play, he's putting in the hours after a few 'issues'. Hopefully he's put whatever was happening in his personal life behind him and concentrating on his job secondly, fair play to the club too in giving him the facilities to train out of season. Doesn't sound like there's any bad blood between the club and herd. lets face it, we need all available players for next season as i don't expect many more new faces.

VillaForever1970 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So was Herd the one that was being bullied?Probably about that god awful haircut, Grealish best be careful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Wouldn't be against giving him a chance in midfield. Always looked OK there when he's had a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decavfc Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Never been a huge fan of herd, seems to the type of player who gives all his effort, but just isn't quite premier league standard. If he's going to stay then hopefully can prove me wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niblot Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Think he's got more to offer in midfield than Sylla, would like to see him given a chance at DM to give Delph & Westwood a bit more licence to push forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Delph, herd, Cole looks a better midfield 3 than what we had most of last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think the comments from his Dad about playing at 100 miles an hour and needing to channel it more are spot on, if he can take that on board he will be a better player for it. I like his aggression, hope he gets a fair chance to prove one way or another whether he can be good enough at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 He is a walking red card. Though we do need a DM and Herd is probably pretty eager to impress. i know he likes a tackle but i can only remember him being sent off once for us, and that was the fat clearing in the woods dowd special vs baggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Would have him LB ahead of Bennett no question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
