The season saw the worst set of results in County's history, with the club failing to win any of the first 25 league matches, setting a Football League record. The season started with a home and away loss, but County were still two places from the foot of the table. However their record of three wins and five draws from the next 31 games left them rooted to the bottom. Results improved in the latter stages of the season, with County picking up seven wins and three draws in the remaining 13 games. The club still had to apply for re-election for the third successive season, but held on to their League status.
