Without doubt and still makes me smile when Chris Commons played for us at Florest
He plays on the left
He plays on the right
Our boy Chris Commons thinks Forest are S***e

It's clear from the Wendies, Brum-bums and Huddersfield's struggles this season that poor recruitment, managerial changes and ownership issues can mean a passable championship squad underperforming. If we get the recruitment bit right, the stability we have from top to bottom in the club now should help.

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.

Good luck with the play-offs @BWFCNick. The game at Pride Park was a massive pivotal moment in the race for the automatic places and personally I thought you were a bit unlucky not to come away from that game with at least a share of the spoils.
Our keeper made two crucial saves, one of which was world class. We managed to be more clinical with our chance and that was the difference.
Really hope you do it because like us and Pompey you've stared down the barrel of the abyss. After being in such a place your fanbase deserve a taste of the good times again. Once again, good luck, I'll be rooting for you. 🤞

I think it’s fine as it is the area is very different to Inner city stadia where stands were named after the area adjacent. I don’t really fancy
The Arena End
The Car Park stand
The Padel stand
The industrial estate End
