  1. Clashed with Mandla Tau 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.

  2. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  3. Worried by competition from a new signing Siyabonga Mabena

  4. Stayed on the bench all match

    Minor
    Cause
    The bench was built around different match options.
