After the end of World War I, the league schedule was returned to its normal status with Town still in Division 2.

Following the club's rescue, the team's form dramatically improved and Town were fighting for an automatic promotion place.

The season is also noted for the club's first FA Cup Final, reached after beating Brentford, Newcastle United, Plymouth Argyle, Liverpool and Bristol City, before playing Aston Villa in the final at Stamford Bridge, before losing to Billy Kirton's goal in extra time.
