  1. Repeated transfer talk is becoming a distraction

    Minor
    Cause
    Stage: loose rumour. The national press has carried the story. The link is speculative for now. The same rumour keeps coming back. The talk has begun to distract him.

    Expectations may build after a stand-out moment.
  2. Stayed on the bench while Michael Baumgartner took the slot

    Minor

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  3. Warned about his body language

    Moderate
    Cause

    Cause

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  26. Warned about his body language

    Moderate

  33. Settling well into the dressing room

    Moderate
    Cause

    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.
  34. Praised by the manager

    Major
    Cause
    The discussion covered general matters.
  35. Worried by competition from a new signing Antonio Gallardo
