Severity
Mood
  1. Dorian Babunski, a senior mentor, left the club

    Moderate
    Cause
    The departure of a senior mentor still shapes how he reacts. A senior figure was at the centre of how it played out.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  2. Returning loanee is competing for his place Barna Pál

    Moderate
    Cause
    The new arrival has visibly higher ability.

    Contract request risk increased.

  16. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
