What's with the "And another one" bantz between Pravda and Digne on the videos they post of him?

I just took it to mean 'and another win' (in the bag), as we aim for top 4. Did it once and it was posted on the club's account, so it just became a 'thing'.

Luca Digne started his career at Lille and was snapped up as a 12-year-old.
Progress through the Academy ranks was swift, and when his first-team chance came in January 2012, he took it. Digne started 13 of the final 15 Ligue 1 matches in the 2011/12 campaign, helping Lille finish third and secure a Champions League berth. He featured in five Champions League group games the following season.

2010–2011 Lille B 35 appearances 1 goal.
2011–2013 Lille 49 appearances 2 goals

Showed fantastic technique for that 90th minute attempt on Saturday that just cleared the Brentford crossbar. Imagine the scenes if it had gone in.

Came from the wild header by Carlos or Konsa. Was very poor header attempt.

I just don't understand why Ezri didn't try to head it towards goal rather than straight up in the air.

His body language suggested that he thought he'd been fouled on the jump.

Greta effort from Lucas to try and rescue the situation.

That was Konsa. Just about summed up his day.

Probably the most rattled i've ever seen him. Madueke gave him a torrid time .

He was on the third page and I feel like he deserved a bump.  He has been really solid this year, for someone who I believe was pretty close to leaving last summer thank god we kept him with Moreno's struggles.  If he does end up leaving this summer, it should be with our thanks.

He's been superb this season, like you say I thought he would be leaving last summer and deserves recognition. A very successful signing and it would be a shame to see him leave.

I like him and he clearly gives a shit, so I don’t see any reason to get rid or why he’d want to leave with a potential CL season on the horizon. What’s his contract situation at the moment?

We’ll need to strengthen all areas of the squad if we’re too keep battling at the top end of the table and be competitive in tournaments, but LB with Digne and Moreno wouldn’t be a priority when we have RB and midfield issues to deal with.

[Risso]

Although much as I like him, he was a bit rubbish last night. Their 3rd goal he lost Quansah completely.

[KRS]

It was a total mismatch against Quansah for that goal to be fair…he’d need to be at least 6 inches taller to have had any chance of winning that header.

He was bit rubbish last night and has been for a couple of weeks, but so have most of the team, so I wouldn't hold that against him. Nearly all clicked into form last night though and it made it a cracking game of football.

Yes, I did wonder why one of our taller players wasn't assigned to Quansah but I assume we were attempting zonal marking rather then assigned marking. But also holding the line meant Quansah also had the momentum from the run in which Digne didn't.
