After having their worst year in the division the previous season, Southampton began the 1926–27 league campaign in strong fashion and found themselves in amongst the promotion hopefuls by the end of the year, just two points off front-runners Middlesbrough. However, following a lengthy run in the FA Cup the club's form began to deteriorate, ending with a series of 13 games which included just one win. The Saints dropped from as high as the top six of the Second Division table to a mid-table position, ending the season in 13th place with 15 wins, 12 draws and 15 losses – just one position and four points higher than their 14th-place finish the previous season. In the 1926–27 FA Cup, Southampton beat Third Division South side Norwich City in the third round, First Division clubs Birmingham and Newcastle United in the fourth and fifth rounds, respectively, and Third Division South side Millwall in the quarter-finals. They then faced top-flight side Arsenal in the semi-finals, who beat them 2–1 to advance to the final of the cup (they finished as runners-up). As usual, the club ended the season with the Hampshire Benevolent Cup and Rowland Hospital Cup fixtures against local rivals Portsmouth. Southampton won the former 4–1, while Pompey won the latter 5–1. The Saints also played four friendly matches during the campaign, beating Aldershot Command 4–0 and Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic 1–0, drawing 1–1 with Exeter City, and losing 3–2 to Guildford United. Southampton used 22 different players during the 1926–27 season and had eleven different goalscorers. The club's top scorer was centre-forward Bill Rawlings, who scored 23 times in the league, five times in the FA Cup and twice in the Hampshire Benevolent Cup for a total of 30 goals. Irish inside-forward Dick Rowley, in his first season with the club after joining from Swindon Town in the summer, scored 20 goals across the same three competitions. Four new players were signed by the club during the campaign, with ten released and sold to other clubs. The average attendance at The Dell during the 1926–27 season was 9,728. The highest attendance was 21,408 against Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round on 19 February 1927; the lowest was 5,368 against Chelsea in the league on 4 April 1927. Background and transfers Following the end of the 1925–26 season, Southampton underwent several major changes in playing personnel. The most significant was the departure of inside-right Arthur Dominy to join First Division club Everton, who had reportedly been trying to sign him since as early as 1920.Chalk Holley Bull 2013 58 In a 13-year career at The Dell which began before the First World War, Dominy made a total of 392 appearances for the Saints and scored 155 goals, which at the time placed him second on the club's list of all-time appearances and third on the club's list of top goalscorers.Chalk Holley 1987 312 He was replaced in the team by Sam Taylor,Chalk Holley Bull 2013 184 who joined from Mansfield Town in June 1926 for a club record fee of £950.Chalk Holley 1987 304 Taylor soon switched to the left side, with fellow new arrival Dick Rowley taking over for the rest of the season after joining from Swindon Town.Chalk Holley Bull 2013 163–164 Alf Bishop and Billy Murphy signed in August, from St Albans City and Manchester City, respectively.Chalk Holley Bull 2013 16Chalk Holley Bull 2013 140 Bishop remained only until January, when his contract was cancelled and he left to join Wellington Town.

During this period, the club beat recently relegated Manchester City 4–3 at Maine Road, as well as picking up home victories over mid-table Fulham 4–1 and promotion hopefuls Blackpool 5–3; in the latter two games, Rawlings scored his second and third hat-tricks of the campaign to bring his running total up to 15 goals. The three goals scored against Blackpool on 20 November marked the last time Rawlings would score a hat-trick for the club.

Despite their ongoing success in the FA Cup, the club lost four league games in a row between 1 January and 5 February, failing to score a single goal in defeats against Reading (1–0), Portsmouth (2–0), Bradford City (2–0) and Preston North End (1–0). Still occupying a place in the top ten of the league table, the Saints bounced back to beat South Shields 6–2 in their next fixture, with two goals each for Rawlings and Dick Rowley, and one each for Bill Henderson and Sam Taylor. This was followed by two 1–0 wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Darlington, both of whom were struggling in the bottom six of the table.https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-two/12-march-1927/ League Division Two table after close of play on 12 March 1927 11v11.com 15 April 2018 After this, Southampton went on a run of eleven games without a win, including losses at the hands of clubs like Clapton Orient and Fulham who were fighting relegation.

The lower league team beat the Blues comfortably, winning 4–1 thanks to goals from Rowley, Bill Rawlings (two) and George Harkus; Birmingham's England international centre-forward Joe Bradford saw a penalty during the match saved by Tommy Allen. A tenth consecutive home fixture in the competition for the fifth round saw Southampton host another First Division side, Newcastle United, who were then top of the league table.https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-one/12-february-1927/ League Division One table after close of play on 12 February 1927 11v11.com 15 April 2018 The Magpies initially took the lead through a Tommy McDonald penalty following a handball by Keeping, but a second brace in three cup games for Rowley, as well as some "resolute defending", saw off the soon-to-be English Football League champions. In the quarter-finals, Southampton travelled to The Den to face Third Division South club Millwall on 5 March. The game ended in a goalless draw, forcing a replay at The Dell four days later which the Saints won, thanks to Rawlings' second brace in the competition. Wilf Phillips missed a penalty during the game for the hosts. In their second FA Cup semi-final in three years, the club faced First Division side Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea. The Gunners took the lead following an own goal by Saints right-back Ted Hough, and doubled their lead later through Charlie Buchan. Rawlings pulled one back for the Second Division side late on, before the game was shrouded in controversy. According to Southampton director A. A. Wood, the team were denied three penalties in the final minutes of the game. In the words of one London-based newspaper, there was at least one "palpable" penalty ignored by the referee which "robbed" Southampton of their first place in an FA Cup final in 25 years.Juson Aldworth Bendel Bull 2004 120 Round 3 8 January 1927 Southampton 3–0 Norwich City Rowley Keeping pen.

The first was a friendly match against Southern League side Guildford United on 22 September 1926. Guildford won the match at home 3–2, with Billy Murphy and Bill Rawlings scoring for the visitors.Chalk Holley 1987 212 A second friendly against Aldershot Command followed on 4 November, which the Saints won convincingly 4–0. On 25 April 1927, Southampton travelled to the nearby Dean Court to face Third Division South club Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. The Saints won 1–0, thanks to a sole goal from Rawlings. A final friendly against Exeter City, also of the Third Division South, on 4 May ended in a 1–1 draw, Rawlings again scoring to make it four goals in the season's four friendlies. Five days after the Exeter City draw, Southampton hosted local rivals Portsmouth in the annual Hampshire Benevolent Cup. Despite having secured promotion to the First Division two days earlier, Pompey were outclassed in a 4–1 win for the Saints.Juson Aldworth Bendel Bull 2004 120–121 Rowley opened the scoring after 13 minutes and scored a second 20 minutes later, before Rawlings made it three before the half-time break. In the second half, Willie Haines scored a penalty before Rawlings responded with his second and Southampton's fourth. In the Rowland Hospital Cup two days later, Pompey picked up a similarly dominant win when they beat the Saints 5–1 at Fratton Park. Goals for the home side came from Haines (two), Frederick Cook, Jerry Mackie and Goodwin, while recent signing Fred Lohse scored the consolation for the visitors.Juson Aldworth Bendel Bull 2004 121 Friendly 22 September 1926 Guildford United 3–2 Southampton Murphy Rawlings Joseph's Road Guildford L Friendly 4 November 1926 Aldershot Command 0–4 Southampton Rowley Rawlings Aldershot W Friendly 25 April 1927 Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic 0–1 Southampton Rawlings Dean Court Bournemouth W Friendly 4 May 1927 Exeter City 1–1 Southampton Rawlings St James Park Exeter D Hampshire BC 9 May 1927 Southampton 4–1 Portsmouth Rowley 13 33Rawlings Haines pen.

The team played in a 2–3–5 formation throughout the campaign, using two full-backs, three half-backs, two outside forwards, two inside forwards and a centre-forward. Michael Keeping, first choice at left-back since the departure of Fred Titmuss at the end of the previous campaign, played in every league and FA Cup game of the season, missing only the Hampshire Benevolent Cup. Similarly, right-back Ted Hough (first choice following the sale of Tom Parker) appeared in all but one league match during the campaign. Goalkeeper Tommy Allen also featured in all league and FA Cup matches, missing only the two season-end fixtures against Portsmouth. Centre-forward Bill Rawlings finished as the season's top scorer with 23 goals in the league, five in the FA Cup and two in the Hampshire Benevolent Cup. New signing Dick Rowley scored 13 times in the league, five times in the FA Cup and twice in the Hampshire Benevolent Cup.
