After being relegated and the subsequent resignation of Arthur Dickinson the previous season, Wednesday appoint Bob Brown as their first "proper" manager, with full responsibility for picking the team.  After a decent start with two defeats in the first nine matches, Wednesday go on a terrible run of one win in fifteen to leave them in 20th by mid November.  However, a terrific run of one defeat in the final fifteen matches sees them finish in a respectable 10th place.

In the FA Cup Wednesday go out in the 2nd round, losing to 1st Division Everton at Hillsborough after a draw at Goodison Park.
