Following defeat in the play-offs the previous season, many were hoping for automatic promotion to the new Division 1. But Ian Ross' team had a dreadful start and never really got going. They were certainties for relegation until the arrival of former Town boss Mick Buxton as first team coach. With Buxton's help, Town won 12 of the last 16 matches and stayed up comfortably, finishing 15th.

Town lost all of their first 6 league games, making it the worst start in the club's history. The only bright lights in the early start of the season were the cup win over Sunderland and a respectable draw against Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup. Town eventually lost 5–4 on aggregate to the Lancashire side. The mid-season for Town brought virtually no joy to Town either with a run of 5 consecutive defeats. There was hope on the horizon as ex-Town manager Mick Buxton joined up as assistant manager and results started to improve. During this run Town also managed to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup, before eventually losing to Southend United. At the end of the season, Town went on a run of only 2 defeats in their last 17 league games. Simon Charlton managed to get into the Division 2 Team of the Season and just after the season's end, he moved to Premier League Southampton.
