Events

7

  1. Made his senior debut for the club

  2. Led the defence in a tight match

    Minor
    Cause
    He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.

  3. Criticised over his pressing work

    Moderate
    Cause
    The criticism focused on missed pressing triggers and slow recovery runs. His match rating of 6.2 weighed heavily in the talk.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  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
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  5. Breakthrough into the senior squad

  6. Clashed with Ben Barbarouses over training standards

    Minor
    Cause
    The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
