Quoted from Tommy


I thought he was only a bit blunt when he was asked questions to which he'd already effectively answered with press releases on the club website, and when MD kept asking him similar questions. Notably asking how long Whitehouse would be out for, and then later asking him if he expects him to play this season.


I recall an earlier interview with Matt Dean where Jolley pulled him up for paraphrasing and effectively asking the same question. Having spoken to people who have had similar injuries previously it is impossible to put a time on a return until after the operation as the full extent of his injury will only become apparent under the knife.

I find questions about targets tedious as I don't feel managers should comment on them. I also like how he refers to debriefing with trialists.

You don't really get the feeling that Dean is in a conversation in these managers interviews. Much better in a studio phone in or with other journalists. His obsession with a player who will be out for so long was tedious.

I have to agree Matt Dean just wouldn't let the Whitehouse issue go Jolley isn't a Doctor, he's out for the season look at Oxlaide-Chamberlain he's going to miss nearly all of this season with similar injury.

Jolley was right to get agitated with Matt Dean asking the same questions regarding transfers he didn't do himself any favours.

It obvious Jolley wants Koiki, Long, Vernam of Interest with Whitehouse injury, looking at Bowman aswell, but he can't talk to until the deal is completed. Which Matt Dean dosen't seem to understand.

Looking forward to JT's return. Good to see Big Chris on the prowl at BP last night. Always a bonus to get fan perspective on commentary. Pre and post match interviews are largely patronising twaddle.
