The second season of the Football league saw Wolves finish in fourth spot. They did have a few spells where they topped the table but a poor run over the Christmas and New Year period saw them tumble down the table. They did manage to win two games by an eight goal margin. Burnley was thumped 9-1 in the league while Stoke regretted wanting a re-match in the cup as they was thrashed 8-0. Brodie broke the club recored for most goals in a game following his five goal haul in the Stoke win. Wolves made it to the Semi-Finals of the F.A.Cup where they lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers.
