Despite the overall success, Pettimer can aim to improve their goal-scoring consistency and perhaps develop more attacking options to increase their goal tally further. Additionally, refining their defensive organization in high-pressure situations could help reduce the few goals conceded in tight matches. Building depth in the squad will also be essential as they prepare for the increased competition in the higher division.
