  1. Poor attitude in training

    Minor
    Cause
    Coaches flagged his application as the issue.

  2. Made his senior debut for the club

  3. Warned about his body language

    Moderate
    Cause
    The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. His match rating of 5.6 weighed heavily in the talk.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  4. Away supporters were hostile

    Moderate
    Cause
    He drew sustained jeers from the away end.

  5. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  6. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  7. Left out as Rayan Zekri was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Rayan Zekri was preferred — the manager's youth-development plan.
    Cause
    A younger player was given the chance in this fixture.
    Outlook
    Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.

  8. Left out as Rayan Zekri was preferred

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Rayan Zekri was preferred — the manager's youth-development plan.
    Cause
    A younger player was given the chance in this fixture.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  9. Left out as Rayan Zekri was preferred

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Rayan Zekri was preferred — the manager's youth-development plan.
    Cause
    A younger player was given the chance in this fixture.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  10. Interest from Willem II has turned his head

    Moderate
    Cause
    Stage: concrete interest. The interested club has formally approached. It would offer an escape from his current situation. Starts would likely be easier to come by. He wants the club to listen if a serious bid arrives. Playing time would likely improve.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  11. Clashed with Ibrahim Sadiq over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  12. Frustrated after the club rejected interest from Roda JC

    Moderate
    Cause
    Stage: the bid was rejected. It became public after the bid was rejected. It would offer an escape from his current situation. A bid has already been rejected. He wants the club to listen if a serious bid arrives. Playing time would likely improve.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
