But Scott believes his team has much to look forward to.
The ex-Sunderland full-back said: "I'm not lowering my standards for anybody. I have high standards and I aim to go one better than last year.
"Both the club and I have learnt so much from that weekend [Play-off final] and the atmosphere and everything that goes with the play-offs.
"I'm really comfortable in the job. I've always wanted to progress in my career and I'm just pleased I've got the opportunity."
