  1. He has said it out loud: His place back

    Mind

  2. He has started to want: His place back

    Mind

  3. He has started to want: The manager’s trust

    Mind

  4. Settling well into the dressing room

    Moderate
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.

  5. Rotated out for this match

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Kyle Jurgens was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
    Cause
    A low-importance fixture meant managed minutes.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  6. Rotated out for this match

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Emmanuel Jalai was preferred — the need to give him minutes.
    Cause
    A low-importance fixture meant managed minutes.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  7. Led the defence in a tight match

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

  8. 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.

    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  12. Stayed on the bench while Brooklyn Poggenpoel took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  13. Warned about his body language

    Moderate

    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  14. Away supporters were hostile

    Moderate
    Cause
    He drew sustained jeers from the away end.

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

    Minor
