The club played thirty-three games in England’s two major competitions, winning eighteen, drawing seven and losing eight.[1] The club finished the season in third place, six points adrift of Champions Aston Villa,[2] and were defeated in the quarter final of the F A Cup by eventual winners The Wednesday.[3] Their Goodison Park home hosted the drawn semi final between Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers.[4]Table of ContentsSeason review[edit]Final league table[edit]First Team Squad and Appearances[edit]References[edit]Season review[edit]The Everton board kept faith in the squad that had finished runners up the previous season with no major signings or departures during the summer. This meant that Jack Hillman was the undisputed first choice goalkeeper for the season and would go on to play all bar the final game in which Harry Briggs made his club debut in a 2\u20131 victory at Stoke. Bob Kelso, Charlie Parry and James Adams resumed their battle for the two full back positions from the previous season. Adams missed the first game of the season but returned to miss just one other game as he established himself as the first choice full back but Both Kelso and Parry fell out of favour as reserve, Smart Arridge emerged as a solid full back partner to Adams. Kelso, who played the first five games of the season, made just one further appearance for the club in the half back line before leaving to join Dundee in February. Parry’s long love, hate relationship with the Goodison Park club finally came to an end after his second appearance of the season when he gave away a penalty, which was missed, in a 3\u20134 defeat at Aston Villa in September.[5] Before the year was out the Welsh International defender had moved on to Ardwick.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The solid half back line of Dickie Boyle, Johnny Holt and Billy Stewart, considered so instrumental in the club’s title push last year was unsurprisingly unaltered and the trio continued in the same vein as they had done the previous year. Hugh Goldie, a summer signing from St Mirren proved a successful reserve when required and regularly filled in for the regular trio when required.Everton were strongest in the forward line where Jack Bell, Tom McInnes, Edgar Chadwick and Alf Milward remained regulars but the club’s record hat-trick scorer, Alex Latta began to find opportunities limited as he slipped down the pecking order behind Abe Hartley. The arrival of John Cameron, yet another Scot, from Queens Park, in September [6] further reduced Latta’s opportunities and he left before the end of the season for local rivals Liverpool.[7]While the club seemed prepared to mount a fresh title challenge on the field, they were anything but prepared off it as chairman, George Mahon announced a healthy \u00a36,000 profit at the club agm before promptly resigning, along with four other directors over ‘acute administrative difficulties’. Six new directors were elected along with a new Chairman, Dr Baxter who pushed through the building of a new stand on the Bullens Road end of the ground and put a roof on the Goodison Road Stand.[8]The club made an indifferent start to the League campaign, winning four, drawing three and losing four of their first eleven games before embarking on a run of nine consecutive victories from November to January that took them top of the table and marked them as favourites to win their second League Title.[9]The Toffeemen were knocked off the top of the table on 4 January when Derby County won a game in hand to go a point clear. The Merseysiders’ title challenge stuttered in the first three months of the year, winning just two of their next six games and leaving the club six points adrift of Aston Villa but with four games and eight points to play for against Villa’s two remaining games. On 3 April Everton embarked on a hectic schedule of four games in eight days to win the title but their hopes were dashed at the first hurdle when a 2\u20132 draw at home to Derby County was coupled with victory for Villa at Nottingham Forest to leave Everton seven points adrift with just three games to play.The Toffeemen finished the season in third position, six points behind champions, Villa, one place and three points worse off than when finishing Runners Up the previous season.In the F.A. Cup Everton came through their first two ties comfortably defeating top flight opponents Nottingham Forest in Nottingham and Sheffield United at Goodison Park to an aggregate of 5\u20130. However confidence was low when the side traveled to Sheffield Wednesday on quarter final day, just nine days after the side had lost a League game at the same venue 1\u20133. They fared even worse in the cup tie, losing 0\u20134 to the eventual cup winners.[10]Final league table[edit]Key: P = Matches played; W = Matches won; D = Matches drawn; L = Matches lost; F = Goals for; A = Goals against; GA = Goal average; Pts = PointsEverton home games were played at Goodison Park while away games were played at the venues statedDateOpponentsvenueResultF \u2013 AScorersAttendance2 September 1895Sheffield WednesdayGoodison Park2\u20132Dickie Boyle, Alf Milward15,0007 September 1895Nottingham ForestGoodison Park6\u20132Edgar Chadwick {2}, Alf Milward {2} Jack Bell, Albert Flewitt16,0009 September 1895BuryGoodison Park3\u20132Jack Bell, Alf Milward, Edgar Chadwick8,00014 September 1895Bolton WanderersBurnden Park1\u20133Tom McInnes14,00021 September 1895Blackburn RoversGoodison Park0\u2013220,00028 September 1895Wolverhampton WanderersMolineux Stadium3\u20132Tom McInnes {2}, Alf Milward6,00030 September 1895Aston VillaWellington Road3\u20134Jack Bell {3}15,0005 October 1895Sheffield UnitedGoodison Park5\u20130Alex Latta, Edgar Chadwick {3}, Alf Milward10,00012 October 1895Nottingham ForestTown Ground1\u20132Edgar Chadwick8,00019 October 1895West Bromwich AlbionGoodison Park1\u20131Alf Milward18,90026 October 1895BurnleyTurf Moor1\u20131Abe Hartley8,0002 November 1895Wolverhampton WanderersGoodison Park2\u20130Edgar Chadwick, Alf Milward7,0009 November 1895Sheffield UnitedBramall Lane2\u20131Alf Milward, Abe Hartley4,00016 November 1895SunderlandGoodison Park1\u20130Alf Milward15,00023 November 1895West Bromwich AlbionStoney Lane3\u20130Tom McInnes, Abe Hartley, Alf Milward3,95030 November 1895BurnleyGoodison Park2\u20131James Adams, Dickie Boyle14,0007 December 1895Small HeathMuntz Street3\u20130Alf Milward {3}3,00014 December 1895StokeGoodison Park7\u20132Tom McInnes {3}, Jack Bell {2}, John Cameron, Alf Milward10,00021 December 1895Aston VillaGoodison Park2\u20130Jack Bell, Tom Mcinnes30,0001 January 1896Blackburn RoversEwood Park3\u20132Jack Bell, Edgar Chadwick, Murray (own goal)20,00011 January 1896BuryGigg Lane1\u20131Alf Milward9,00025 January 1896Preston North EndGoodison Park1\u20131Edgar Chadwick10,0003 February 1896Small HeathGoodison Park3\u20130Abe Hartley {2}, Hugh Goldie8,00018 February 1896WednesdayOlive Grove1\u20133John Cameron8,00022 February 1896SunderlandNewcastle Road0\u201337,0007 March 1896Preston North EndGoodison Park3\u20132Alf Milward, Dickie Boyle, Abe Hartley12,0003 April 1896Derby CountyGoodison Park2\u20132John Cameron (2)25,0006 April 1896Bolton WanderersGoodison Park1\u20131Edgar Chadwick15,0007 April 1896Derby CountyBaseball Ground1\u20132William Williams7,00011 April 1896StokeVictoria Ground2\u20131Abe Hartley, Alf Schofield3,000DateRoundOpponentsVenueResultF \u2013 AScorersAttendance1 February 1896FirstNottingham ForestTown Ground2\u20130Edgard Chadwick, Alf Milward15,00015 February 1896SecondSheffield UnitedGoodison Park3\u20130Jack Bell, John Cameron, Alf Milward {penalty}20,00029 February 1896Quarter FinalWednesdayOlive Grove0\u2013412,000Source: Everton Stats.
