Never, not once, seen the need to differentiate. I wouldn't care if every single goal we scored came from a set-piece.

Not that it should matter. A goal is a goal, and I don't care how it is scored. If anything, I'd like to see us scoring more from set pieces. (I'm sure Pulis and WBA were more than happy at us regularly rolling the ball to a guy two yards away, rather than getting it into their box). But seeing as though you have asked, I believe it is as follows:
Watford: Redmond from a corner
Man Utd: No goals
Sunderland: Jay from open play (bad Sunderland error)
Arsenal: Tadic/Cech OG from a FK
Swansea: Austin from open play
West Ham: Austin, Tadic and JWP all from open play
Leicester: No goals
Burnley: Austin from a corner, Redmond from a corner, Austin from a penalty
Man City: Redmond from open play (bad Man City error)
Chelsea: No goals
Hull: Austin from a penalty
Liverpool: No goals
Everton: Austin from open play
Palace: No goals
Boro: Boufal from open play
Stoke: No goals
Bmouth: Bertrand, and Jay twice all from open play
Spurs: Virgil from a FK
WBA: Long from a corner
So out of our 19 goals (ie an average of one per game!), I make that 8 from set pieces and 11 from open play.

For the sake of comparison, Whoscored had us with 41 from open play versus 16 from set pieces (plus two OGs that were, if memory serves, from open play, but my memory is shoddy enough that I didn't include them). We're definitely much more reliant on set pieces this year, which is somewhat amusing given that we've modeled the squad after the Lollipop Guild.
More concerned that scoring first automatically sets alarm bells ringing when it should be the opposite.
I thought it was going to be a youtube video of the Adkins years <---------tongue firmly in cheek
