County achieved their highest post-war league finish, just four points behind third-placed Huddersfield Town in the Third Division. Huddersfield were promoted to the Second Division, along with champions Portsmouth and arch-rivals Cardiff City. County had actually gone top of the table on Easter Monday after a win over Cardiff in front of 16,052 fans at Somerton Park, but only one win and four defeats from the next five games set up the away game at Huddersfield as the promotion decider. That game too was lost, and with it the chance of a return to the Second Division for the first time since 1947.
