Birmingham finished the season 16th in the 20-team division, and lost to Oldham Athletic in the first round of the FA Cup.

Twenty-nine players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were fourteen different goalscorers.

Half-back Thomas Daykin played in 37 matches over the 40-match season; only two other players reached 30 appearances.

Watson resigned as secretary-manager at the end of the season,[2] and the club decided to separate the roles of manager and secretary.

Bob McRoberts, who had played as a forward for the club for seven years, was appointed as team manager, with no secretarial duties,[3] and Watson's former assistant, Frank Richards, took over as secretary.
