  1. Left out as Brandon Theron was preferred

    Serious
    Chosen instead
    Brandon Theron was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
    Cause
    A more highly rated alternative was available.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  2. Praised privately for his recent performance

    Serious
    Cause
    The discussion focused on his recent performance level.

  3. Clashed with Shadrack Kobedi 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.

  4. Warned about his body language

    Moderate
    Cause
    The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. His match rating of 5.9 weighed heavily in the talk.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  5. Away supporters were hostile

    Moderate
    Cause
    He drew sustained jeers from the away end.

    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  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.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
