Warnock was asked about Vaulks and Madine at the end of the pre WBA press conference this morning.

He said both had been good in training (that tends to be a stock response) and both were frustrated not playing, but were behind others in the squad. He said he had tried to get Madine out on loan but the club couldn't find a suitable deal, and that Vaulks has been kept out of the squad because of Bacuna's performances.

There were a lot of culprits for the Reading debacle, but Will Vaulks had a mare and I suspect that like Omar Bogle with his red card against Bristol City 2 years ago he has put a major doubt in the manager's mind. There is a way back from that but it takes a lot of hard work and an exemplary attitude. We will see.
