Lots of positives. "The negatives are we conceded more set plays, especially in the first half of the season, and we scored fewer set plays. "In the Scottish game, you have to be able to defend set plays, long throws, long balls, and you also have to score them at the other end. "That's something we need to be better at. But the statistics in forward areas are a big improvement and the points tally mirrored that."
