Villa end the season with only their third win in sixteen third division games but such was their early season form that they still finish in 4th place in the table, but Vic Crowe's side sit seven points off the promotion places after their poor run following their third League Cup final appearance in February. Villa face another season in the third tier - only the second time in their history that they have had to play at that level.

Vic Crowe's Villa end the season with nineteen wins, fifteen draws and twelve defeats in forty six division three games. A season which had promised so much ended with a brave cup final defeat but a collapse in form thereafter that would mean Villa would spend a second successive season in the third tier. Sitting top of the League in February, a record of seven losses, seven draws and just three wins in seventeen games left Villa fourth in division three and two places off the promotion places.
