Wednesday struggle most of the season and are just above the relegation zone in 14th place by Christmas.  Thankfully Wednesday end the season well, winning five out of the last six matches to banish any relegation fears and finish 12th, seven points above Darwen, who are relegated along with Manchester United.

In the FA Cup, Wednesday reach the semi-final, losing to Bolton Wanderers at Fallowfield, Manchester.  In the 1st round, Wednesday beat 2nd Division Arsenal at the Manor Ground.  They also beat Stoke City and Aston Villa at Olive Grove in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
