As you say, the minutiae is probably the coach and it will be the coach who decides the methods to achieve his brief, but none of us actually know what that brief is.
Players have been researched and signed before we had a coach, so there will definitely be a theory and style dictated to the coaching team (I don't have an issue with this, it's worked for Brentford and I'm hopeful that our owners are finding their way and will get it right here).
