Rotated out for this match
Minor
Chosen instead

Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
Squad status changed
Frustrated after the club rejected interest from Free State Stars
Moderate
Cause
Stage: the bid was rejected. It became public after the bid was rejected. It would be a lateral move. A bid has already been rejected. The talk has begun to distract him.
Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Dropped to the bench as Themba Zwane was preferred
Moderate
Chosen instead
Themba Zwane was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
Cause
A more highly rated alternative was available.
Outlook
Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
Reassured by the manager's half-time message
Minor
Cause
The team were behind, and the manager needed a response. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
