  1. 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.

  2. Returned to full training after injury

    Minor

  3. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor

  4. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Moderate

    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  5. Clashed with Andreas Nibe 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.

  8. Made his senior debut for the club

  9. Criticised over his pressing work

    Moderate

    The criticism focused on missed pressing triggers and slow recovery runs. His match rating of 5.9 weighed heavily in the talk.

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  10. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.

  11. Built a stronger partnership with Jo Inge Berget

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. A senior figure was at the centre of how it played out.
