Top scorer: Joe Spence (19 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
The first season back in Division Two after relegation ended in 12th. Joe Spence’s 19 goals supplied the main attacking return, but inconsistency left United well outside the promotion race. The campaign showed that relegation had created a longer rebuilding problem, not an automatic route to recovery.
