I'm surprised some people haven't noticed the recent clear improvement in Bennett.
Albrighton and Herd are no way good enough.

Stephen Ireland...deary me. Where did it all go wrong...Huth and Shawcross good enough for top 4 teams, really?

Many message boards do not allow it.I'm not slagging anybody off and I'm not interested in trolling - there's quite clearly a fair bit of reasonable discussion being prompted by the post, so does it matter how many posts someone has got to their name?Thanks for the responses though, i like to keep abreast of what's going on with the various Premiership squads (for future betting purposes) and some of the current Villa players I haven't watched as many times as others. Apologies if it seemed like I was having a dig- that wasn't the intention.

Herd looked comfortably good enough for the Premiership last season - and has been injured for a fair chunk of this. So, the jury has to stay out.Bowery and Bennett - jury also still out, for me.
Herd has been used this season as a CB, which he's not good at, IMO. Under TSM, he looked decent in central midfield. However, I'd say no more so than Westwood, Delph or Sylla. And he's certainly not the 'general' we need in there, so not sure where he'd fit in. If he's happy to stay as a utility player on relatively low wages, then great, but otherwise shoud move on for 1st team football.
Herd was useful in a really poor footballing side, unfortunately he'll never be good enough in the midfield in a side trying to play good football.
