The tightest defence in the whole of the Football League, once
again stopped Liverpool, who would go on to win the League Championship,
from scoring, so after 210 minutes, it was second-division, Burnley who
booked a Wembley date, two weeks later, with Charlton Athletic. |

The league table had taken on a lop-sided look, because of the severe
winter's multiple postponements and the government banning midweek
games as the economy struggled to recover from the war. Blackpool now
had just two games left, whilst Sheffield United still had ten to
play.

Following a run of five consecutive wins, Queen's Park Rangers were
closing in on Cardiff, but the Welsh club's first win in six games
opened up the gap again and they went on to win the title by nine
points.

Although they dropped a point for the second
home game in a row,
Doncaster had won eleven of their last 13 league games and were
strolling towards the title. They could even afford to lose at
second-placed Rotherham, two weeks later. Unfortunately, however, they
would only last for a season in the higher division before returning.
