I have noticed it a lot with our throw ins in particular but also with our corners and free kicks now, but our players seem to have rediscovered the art of creating blocks to allow space for their teammates to receive the ball in more advantageous positions.

No doubt a huge amount of that I think comes down to our new set piece coach (or restart coach I think his actual profession is called). Sounds simple but clearly not so much considering how we needed to bring in a professional to coach our players to do it.

3 set piece goals in as many games is more than we got all of last season.
