Seven games in and Carshalton Athletic were among the leading pack last season. Five victories and two draws gave the Robins a positive outlook. Then their form took a turn with just a solitary win in their next eleven outings. From December, the Surrey based club regained their form losing just three times until early April. Running out of steam in the final month, the Robins finished in the middle pack.
