After the previous season's 2nd-place finish, some fans were even thinking that Town could deny Arsenal their chance to emulate their own successes in the mid-1920s of winning 3 titles in a row. Instead, a dreadful season saw Town finish in 16th place, only 5 points off the relegation zone.

However, their first 8 games resulted in only 1 win, which at the time was Town's worst ever start to a season. Later in the season big drubbings including an 8–0 win over Liverpool and a 6–0 win over Blackburn Rovers, which included Alf Lythgoe scoring 5 of the goals, although a 5–0 loss to Portsmouth and a 5–1 home loss to Grimsby Town did not help Town's goal average. They finished in 16th place, only 5 points clear of Leicester City, who were relegated with Tottenham Hotspur.
