Season summary

Carlisle topped the league after winning their first three matches but ended the season bottom of Division One, although they dropped only one point to eventual champions Derby County and beat title-chasing Everton home and away. They also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time before losing at home to eventual runners-up Fulham
