The
2004–05 season was the club's second season in
the Football League and manager
Gary Johnson's fourth season in charge. Although they lost their first game of the season away to
Bury, they started the season fairly well and were top of League Two with 10 games played. Despite going the next 5 league games without a win, a run of 10 league wins out of a possible 11 left them top of the table and 8 points clear of 4th placed
Southend United. Yeovil also had some success in the FA Cup, setting up a 4th round tie away to
Charlton Athletic, after defeating
Darlington,
Histon and
Rotherham United in earlier rounds. Town were defeated 3–2 by Charlton in a close contest where Yeovil had a shot cleared off the line in the later stages of the game. Yeovil picked up 31 points from a possible 60 after this point, but it was enough for them to secure the title, finishing five points above 4th placed
Southend United. The Glovers scored 90 goals, 21 more than any other team whilst Striker Phil Jevons was League Two's top scorer. At the end of the season, the club released five players including Latvian international
Andrejs Štolcers while Polish striker
Bartosz Tarachulski rejected the club's offer of a new contract. == Transfers ==
