The1948–49 season wasStoke City's 42nd season inthe Football League and the 28th in theFirst Division.

It proved to be another disappointing season for Stoke City, as several players began to express their dissatisfaction with managerBob McGrory's stringent discipline. This discontent led to multiple players submitting transfer requests, which in turn began to impact the club's performance. The team's results on the field were inconsistent, culminating in a mid-table finish at 11th place.^[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

A strange feeling of disharmony set in at theVictoria Ground prior to the start of the 1948–49 season and Stoke received a number of transfer requests from players on the slightest whim.^[1] The previous season's main signingsJimmy McAlinden andTommy Kiernan both departed after just a year with the club losing around £2,000 on the pair.^[1] The only other player whose wish to leave was accepted wasBert Mitchell.^[1] The 4 December 1948 was Stoke'sred letter day as they fielded a team againstBlackpool that cost a mere £10 and with all of them from theStoke-on-Trent area.^[1] The only blotch on the claim however is thatFrank Mountford was born inDoncaster but he moved to Stoke when he was about three years old.^[1]

A mid table position of 11th was all that Stoke could have expected from an inconsistent season with 16 wins and 17 defeats.^[1] One key point during the season was managerBob McGrory's decision to employFrank Bowyer as an out-and-out centre forward and he scored 21 goals.^[1] Surprisingly, when the campaign ended Bowyer asked for a transfer which was accepted but he soon had a change of heart and would remain at the club until 1960.^[1]

FA Cup

[edit]

Stoke beatSwindon Town 3–1 in the third round before being drawn againstStanley Matthews'Blackpool.^[1] Stoke overcame the "Tangerines" 1–0 in a replay. Around 46,738 fans assembled to watch Stoke take on Third DivisionHull City but much to the shock of the Stoke supporters, Hull won 2–0 on an awful Victoria Ground pitch.^[1]
