Touchline
While the team demonstrated resilience and offensive capability, there is room to tighten defensive organization to reduce goals conceded further. Additionally, converting more of their draws into wins could have elevated their league standing. Consistency in performance and perhaps a sharper edge in attack during key moments could help push the team higher in the table next season.
