McLeod retained his place alongside Billy Bassett in the heart of Albion's forward line for the 1894–95 season. Again this was disappointing in the league (finishing 13th out of 16), but Albion again reached the FA Cup Final for the fifth time. The final itself was disappointing with Aston Villa's defence dominating throughout as Villa avenged their defeat three years earlier, running out the victors with the only goal being credited to Bob Chatt who scored the fastest goal in FA Cup history, scored after just 30 seconds.
