  1. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor
    Cause
    It was a private show of faith after a tough recent run. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  2. Poor attitude in training

    Minor
    Cause
    Coaches flagged his application as the issue.

  3. 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.

  4. Named Player of the Match

  5. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The team had won, and the manager wanted to reinforce the standards. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  6. Criticised in a full-time post-mortem

    Minor

  7. Signed a new contract

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

  8. Struggled with training intensity

    Minor
    Cause
    His condition and recent minutes made the session harder than usual, so staff treated it as fatigue rather than attitude.

  9. Breakthrough into the senior squad

  10. Clashed with Stefan Waine 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.

  11. Poor attitude in training

    Minor
    Cause
