No he’s in the wales squad

If he’s not injured and he was one of our major summer signings why isn’t he been starting especially when we have had midfielders out injured recently?
Feel for this guy scored goals in the championship last season with a struggling side and it looks like he is being frozen out?

Probably because he was dreadful at reading and then we went on a 7 game unbeaten run without him. I bet he’ll be back around the squad soon

Didn't WBA buy romain sawyers for the same price we bought vaulks who cant make our bench?

Not good enough to be a starter
Poor signing and is currently 6th choice for a midfield place

1. Pack
2. Bacuna
3. Ralls
4. Tomlin
5. Patterson
6. Vaulks

I expected our midfield this season to be Ralls, Pack and Vaulks. Had high hopes for Vaulks but he’s struggled.

He only played 45 minutes at Reading and was a damn sight better than Bacuna that day. Unfortunately he got castigated for the first goal when in fact he did well to get back to push Puskas out wide but then got skinned by him. He had a right to have had cover behind him by then but Bennett was nowhere to be seen . Even the Reading manager commented on it. I got a feeling something was said at half time that day and him and Warnock have fallen out because he hasn't had a sniff since then and its turning into a strange affair.

I didn't know much about him and still don't. He cant really be said to have struggled because he hasn't played. Had 15 minutes against Luton and 45 minutes at Reading. Don't think he has played since apart from maybe the odd occasion as a very late sub to waste time but that's about it.

i've never liked the idea of giving NW money to spend, RARELY he gets it right. he seems to do great when signing frees, but when he's given funds, we seem to over spend on worse than what we actually have

Had a poor first half in the Reading game and seems to have struggled since. Think he will be a good asset across the whole season particularly in the busy Xmas period.

The list seems to get longer and longer.

That's exactly how I saw it. He did well to even get back and make up the yardage on their player, but I was looking for Bennett and couldn't see him anywhere down that left flank. I bet Warnock had a go at him and as a new player in the dressing room he found it hard to point a finger at Bennett. But I'm sure Vaulks knew it was Bennett's fault and must have been thinking it would have been better to have stayed in his midfield position and then no one would have blamed him but now everyone seems to think that was his man that got free.

I am glad someone else saw it that way because I was starting to think I had imagined it.
