I think he was standing in, as Baticle is his usual assistant.
Whether we go for Baticle and the other chap again in the summer remains to be seen, and whether they'd want to come is another matter.
Incoming as Gardes assistant.
Comes with a wealth of experience, seemingly hand picked by Garde.
Let's see what he brings to the table.

Gardes choice according to Percy in the Telegraph, also Black is fluent in French from his time at Metz apparently and was 'headhunted' by Garde.
I back him with this, he knows what he's doing. It'll help to further integrate the French contingent.
Sounds like a false narrative.
They were honest from what I can gather. They've planned for going down, which you'd expect, but some take that as giving up.
Watching that video I can conclude he loves a save for the camera, and he loves parrying the ball away as far as possible.
Looks decent and quick. Highly likely to be an upgrade on Guzan.
Has a choice between us and Leverkusen according to quotes from Jonathan Legossip on Twitter, from L'Equipe. Still taking his time to choose, and sees our position as a challenge.
Not nailed on yet.
edited to add picture of quotes (from my phone)
The Debuchy rumour won't go away and being reported in France today that he's going to sign on loan. He was probably waiting for a better offer!
I wouldn't have right back as a priority, but there we go.
I've got a feeling Garde is going to change the system to try and nullify Leicester. Not sure why.
if it was me I'd stick with what worked Tuesday.
Actually looks forward to going tomorrow!
