Season review

League

There were high hopes that County could prosper in the newly formed division, but inconsistent early-season results led to the sacking of Peter Nicholas on September 13.[1] The County board at the time stated that they didn't want to rush a replacement, but they'd rather get the right man. On September 29 John Cornforth was announced as that man.[2] He inherited a side in 14th place in the table, but as the season went on results just got worse. By the end of February 2005 County were just one place above the relegation zone. With just one game remaining County were still not mathematically safe, but a final-day victory against Maidenhead United was enough to keep them in Conference South for another season, and relegate their opponents.[3]
