Not a world beater by any means but a useful player to have in the squad. I agree with Philadelphia Freedom that it would be nice to see him settle on one position but it is also handy to have somebody like that who can fill in during games if we need to cover injuries or tactical switches.

"He obviously had an issue with the club last year but that has been sorted and he is looking forward, rather than back.

Sounds like this was possibly something Culverhouse / Karsa related.

This would make sense.

I've always rated Herd as a squad player, so I hope he's able to contribute next season.

Me too, I think there are a fair number of players in our squad with less to offer than Herd, so I hope he gets his chance as well.

All this stuff really does make you wonder what the hell was going on at BMH last season.

As a midfielder, Herd gets in the side ahead of KEA or Sylla for me. I thought Herdy was one of the better players during McLeish's time. He'll always try and impose himself on a game too. I don't think he goes missing as much as some of the other players when he plays in mid.

I hope he has a good pre-season, and Lambert actually gives him a go in midfield. He's just a bit short for a CH and his positioning is all over the shop.

Herd as an anchor with Delph and Westwood ahead of him is an option.

Too limited to be a regular first 11 player for me but he's decent squad cover and to come in for the odd game.

Pleased whatever was troubling him seems to have gone away.

Why? Because we support one of our players who seems to have had some problems. What do you propose a public flogging during half time?

nowhere near enough creativity, goals or attacking play in those 3.

Definitely not, but it's one of the better line ups we could currently put out.
We need to bring in 1-2 new midfielders who can go straight into the first 11.
