Review

Town's form dramatically improved from the disappointing 16th place the previous season. The season didn't have many big highlights with the exception of the 3rd-place finish, although their position might have been even higher if Charlie Luke hadn't been transferred to Sheffield Wednesday and Alf Lythgoe hadn't had his leg injury which kept him out for the last 3 months.
