Review

Town's 8th season under Clem Stephenson was another season of mediocrity, which had been continued for most of the previous few seasons with the exception of the previous season's 3rd-place finish. With no FA Cup run to fall back on either, Town were down in a relegation dogfight with nearly half the teams in the division, but luckily the records of Manchester United and Sheffield Wednesday were worse enough to see them drop down to Division 2.
