Regardless of position, I'd be delighted to see Sibley in our team next season.

I should've been clearer.

I wasn't commenting about his ability, never mind his potential. My critique was aimed at the video and its poor editing. Scouting-wise YouTube videos are only good for checking the shooting technique so not worth much. 

It gives me great pleasure, when the username and the post are in perfect balance.

Fixed.

Noh really a suggestion as such but Bielsa called up Walter Dominguez, 24, from regional level team Juventud de Soriano to Uruguay’a national team. 
He has 57 goals in 39 games this season. 
Someone’s is going to take a punt on him. 
 
ps. Worth acknowledging that this side will be only from Uruguayan teams and 4 big ones are missing from those due the cup.

Definitely not. It's not even the most exciting league in England. I prefer the Championship.

Bit of a contradiction there Bris. First, you describe a big part of tactics and in the next sentence, you dismiss it. 
To answer the original question:
I'm not sure if talking only about Warne is fair as coaching is strongly a team effort.
 I've seen Warneball being called physical, so why did he have a midfield of Hourihane and Bird for about half of the season? Or that Warneball is putting crosses in? What kind of tactics would you choose if you had Collins upfront? Crosses maybe? Or the other way around, did Didzy score countless goals because we put a lot of crosses in? Nope, we played to his strengths. If I'd describe Warneball to an outsider, I'd call it pragmatic, fluid, and mixable while using our strengths and making the most of our opponent's weaknesses. Attention to detail is a strength when we talk about football management.
Just to highlight how fluid our tactics are: I've seen us defending with 5-3-2, 5-4-1, 4-5-1, 4-4-1-1 all in the same game. Well, we all have because it happened often when Bradley was brought on. 
I think he has only two aims when setting his tactics. Firstly, how to get the most out of the striker (how much Didzy, Waggy, Collins, and Gayle have scored, I think he's got that right). The second aim is how to help our keeper to keep a clean sheet. (The least goals conceded in EFL is some achievement). If these two are not about tactics, then what is? And tactics need coaching. With confidence and some experience, I claim that is not an easy part of coaching. 
So, tactics are a massive part of coaching and they have excelled. Another would be increasing the player's ability and that's tougher to measure. I haven't seen as fit team as the current one is in ages and it's part of improving the player's ability. Yes, it may have caused some injuries, but that's football. Also, they managed to teach Sibley to play as LWB. On the first try, he was horrible at it but played okay as fullback when he had a player in front of him. It's a testament to Sibbo and the coaching team, and during the run-in, his performances as LWB turned out to be one of the developmental highlights.
It'll sure be an interesting summer ahead. Will we build a midfield like Hourihane-Bird or Adams-Smith-Thommo? They don't have much in common, but the question is, will they continue to be the ones who'll be sacrificed when we aim to be at our best in both boxes?
I think Warne has shown to be an excellent manager, who seems to be able to build a bunch of individuals into a cohesive group and I really appreciate that. At the same time, my personal preference would be much sexier, quick short-passing champagne football. Maybe it'll come when we have the players for it.

A great player, and a great player for us no doubt but I always used to be amused by Peter Shilton whenever he conceded. Whether it was his fault or not (and sometimes it blatantly was!) the reaction was pretty much always the same - hands on hips and the death stare at the nearest defender as though they'd personally called him a c**t! 😄

Ah, the great Richard Keogh.
I remember being ridiculed here when I said he doesn't look much of a captain to me. He was blaming others for his own mistakes, mostly Bogle, maybe because he was an easy target as a teenager. Blaming others is not a sign of leadership or being an accountable adult, never mind a captain. I don't want to piss off our supporters so I left it there, but in hindsight, you could say, there's a difference between blind support and support. What we are witnessing with the notts forest is blind support and I wish we never get there again.
Later we learned that being accountable is hardly his strength off the pitch either. With that night out he also showed how bad example and guidance he gave to younger players.
Just reflect on it a bit: Keogh whining and mutinying to Morris about Pearson. It's all just pure toxicity and such persons shouldn't be close to our team ever again. Big thank you for Clowes and his recruitment. No wonder I kept losing my love for the game.
Keogh was a decent Championship footballer though. Shame he wasn't much of an adult. Maybe as a pensioner, he can grow up now.

Good shout but what makes you think he wouldn't cost much? The last striker they sold was Grot, who had had a great season when sold but overall their stats are roughly similar in goal in every three games. They got almost two million selling Rot and I can't see them asking much less for Ementa, therefore I'd think he is out of our price range.
I said it earlier and I'll repeat it. Whoever we are after, I fully expect him to be a free transfer. The Danish market isn't cheap.

Definitely not. It's not even the most exciting league in England. I prefer the Championship.

I'd keep Gayle if he isn't on high wages. A fit Gayle scores goals in the championship.
Getting him fit and keeping him fit is the challenge of course.

Lots of reports saying he’s allowed leave for around 1 million, I think we might spend around 2-3 million on a couple core players then the rest frees and loans. 

A bit like AEW compared to WWE. The championship is ‘where footballers come to football’. 
I do wonder if there will be some sort of league / union split one day. 
it always reminds me of a time when I was a kid and I bought a premier league sticker album, and then went about 4 weeks pocket money, or about a fiver, on nothing but stickers for my album. And I got the football league stickers by mistake, not really knowing the difference. The football stickers, players etc. all seemed a lot more no nonsense, and a lot less razamataz with the football league stickers. 
at the time I liked the razamataz, I was young and foolish, but now, I just want to see Foyt all played in a compatible league where you’re never sure what might happen next.

Is that down to management rather than player though, surely it's tactics why he's choosing to go long?
