  1. Stayed on the bench all match

    Minor
    Cause
    The current formation has no natural role for him.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  2. Worried by competition from a new signing Nigel Marengo

    Moderate
    Cause
    A much younger rival has arrived in his position. He was already short on minutes before the signing arrived.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  3. Reassured by the manager's half-time message

    Minor
    Cause

    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  4. 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.

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  5. 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.
