  1. Left out as Ebuka Anthony was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead
    Ebuka Anthony was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.
    Cause
    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  2. Established as a regular starter

    Serious
    Cause
    Several solid weeks have made him an undisputed pick.
  3. Criticised over his pressing work

    Moderate
    Cause
    The criticism focused on missed pressing triggers and slow recovery runs. Staff had already warned him about this in the last few weeks.
    Outlook
    Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.
  4. 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.

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  7. Left out as Temitope Folarin was preferred

    Moderate
    Chosen instead

    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.

    He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.
  12. Criticised over his pressing work

    The criticism focused on missed pressing triggers and slow recovery runs. His match rating of 6.3 weighed heavily in the talk.

  13. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause

  14. Personality clash with Emmanuel Mathias

    Minor
    Cause
    Their personalities have rubbed against each other for a while now. It played out behind the dressing-room door, away from the cameras.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  15. Made his senior debut for the club

  16. Reassured by a calm full-time message

  17. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
