Captain Graeme Shinnie says finding more cutting edge is among the lessons Aberdeen must learn from their underwhelming Conference League campaign.
Thursday night's 3-0 defeat at Sparta Prague consigned the Dons to a second-bottom finish in the 36-team table with just two points.
Jimmy Thelin's men scored three goals in their six matches, but failed to net on their travels.
Shinnie said: "Of course you have to learn from it. You lose games but you learn from them, if you don't then you are doing something wrong.
"It is difficult, we played three of the top four [teams in the standings], the majority of the teams were in the top eight or nine so it was a really tough draw.
"We have had good spells in games with possession but sometimes teams are okay with that and they can be more dangerous when they have not got the ball.
"That is what we have found out when we have maybe given the ball away in dangerous areas and they have taken advantage of that.
"I feel like when we do have some decent momentum in games and decent control we need to be a bit more dangerous with the ball. I don't think we scored away from home and you don't give yourself a chance to win games when it is like that.
"It is when you are on top a little bit in terms of controlling with the ball you need to do more to score goals."
Aberdeen know the key to getting back to the continental stage is by continuing their good domestic form.
They are unbeaten in seven Premiership games going in to Sunday's league trip to Celtic.
Shinnie added: "Definitely we are keen to always get back in as quickly as we can.
"It is where the club always wants to be and now we have to move on from it and focus on the league season and try and get back to a position where we can qualify again."
