Mind

Mind
Led the defence in a tight match
Minor
Cause
He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.
Reassured by a calm full-time message
Minor
Cause

Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
Squad status changed
Criticised for losing tactical discipline
Moderate
Cause
He drifted from the tactical instruction the manager had drilled in pre-match. His match rating of 6.2 weighed heavily in the talk.
Outlook
Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
Stage: shortlisted. The local press has carried the story. The move would be a clear step up. The interested club is meaningfully bigger. Publicly calm, but privately the link interests him. It would be a clear sporting upgrade.
