I just want Matt to be himself. The open "softball" questions help that. Alternatively we could have a "Cowley brother style" - not sure if I could stand that. Or a "Mark Cooper style" - I would rather not.- although Mark isn't helped by the FGR questioner

"If he's not interfering with play, what's he doing on the pitch?"

He uses one phrase in every single interview I've ever heard that drives me up the wall - 'in terms of'.

But I suppose we all repeat little phrases like that in formal speech.
