Hit-man Karl Hawley fired the blues to the League Two crown as he finished joint top goal scorer with future England international Rickie Lambert. The Cumbrians also reached the LDV Vans Trophy Final in Cardiff where they lost out to Swansea City after a late Adebayo Akinfenwa goal. This design was also worn the following season, when Neil McDonald took charge after Simpson's departure to Preston North End and guided the side to an impressive 8th place finish in League One - the clubs highest finish in 20 years
