Crewe had an excellent first half of the season, consistently staying in the playoff zone. However, they ultimately finished in fifth place. Towards the end of the season, Crewe risked falling out of the top 7 as their results under Lee Bell's leadership sharply declined.

Doncaster
Doncaster accumulated the same number of points as Crewe Alexandra in the regular season – 71 points. However, due to a better goal difference, Doncaster finished in fourth place.
