It has not been specified, but the coach has indicated that there is something in Sven's performance that they are not happy about.

Does anyone expect Baertschi to become Bouma? Why would you say this?

I agree that it is frustrating to be left in the dark about this, but let's not kid ourselves: Airing all of their grievances in public with players, their performances, attitudes, whatever, is NOT going to accomplish anything positive. You are right, though. The situation had better be all about Baertschi and what is best for his development, and best for the team. It is way, WAY to early to conclude, or even begin to raise concerns that his treatment is a result of petty feelings or mismanagement. If he sits for four or five games in a row, then I would suggest that this is cause for concern. But right now, he is a young player, still technically a rookie, and this almost certainly has to do with growing pains.
