Picking this up, review coming as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 13:18, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• "while clubs placed from third to sixth in the league table competed play-off semi-finals", should that be the clubs placed... And also "in the" missing after competed?

  Rephrased. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Crystal Palace Rovers United", hell of a team name.

  Honestly the best "typo" I've ever made. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• "who scored from after 17 minutes", a little muddled here.

  Fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Mark Atikins > Atkins

  Honestly, this keyboard. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Aggregate is linked in the last sentence of the second paragraph but is used two sentences earlier.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Swindon Town linked twice.

  Good grief. Mind you I think it's been a while since I did this one, excuses excuses.... The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Route to the final

• Do these league tables need scope cols/rows?

  That's a "module" and I wouldn't know where to begin with daring to edit it. I believe it does have them as I made a HUGE fuss (not like me) when I was instructed that it was what we should be using (as opposed to hand-crafted floating tables). Apparently they look better on mobile. I'll do some digging to see if I can find out what was said about the MOS:ACCESS aspects. But for here, now, I cannae do anything sir. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

  That's fine, I had an inkling there would be a reason why it didn't seem obvious at first. Kosack (talk) 09:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

• "Crystal Palace United", team name again

  The shame. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• "The return leg at was played", extra word here I think.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Probably worth linking captain.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• "deflection of John Millar" > off?

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Background

• "23 goals across all competitions (20 in the league, 1 in the FA Cup and 1 in the League Cup)", tally in brackets adds up to 22.

  Just plucked the book from my shelf, re-checked, and 23 was right, it was two in the League Cup. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

First let summary

• Do you mean "First leg summary"??? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

  Hey, stop reviewing my review! (in my best Python voice). Kosack (talk) 09:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

• Link Hat-trick.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Is this before the era of pre-assigned shirt numbers? No reliable source for positions either?

  As far as I can tell, shirts were for positions, not people, and I have no RS I'm afraid for either, which is why it looks so bleak. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

  I guessed that would be the case, no worries. Kosack (talk) 09:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Second leg summary

• "through Wright who scored from after 17 minutes", a little muddled here.

  Same as the lead. Fixed now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• Sean Curry link goes to an ice hockey player.

  Now redlinked. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

• The Ainscow sub is listed at 114 minutes for Gayle here but at 105 for Millar in the details section below?

  Super weird. I normally would attribute that to conflicting sources, but no, it looks like it's just a very bad typo. Observer says 105, so 105 it is. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

That's about it really, nothing major I don't think. Placed on hold while these are looked at. Kosack (talk) 15:32, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Kosack thanks for taking a good look. I've responded to and/or addressed everything you've suggested, let me know if there's anything else I can do. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

All of my concerns have been addressed, a quick spot check on refs comes back fine too. Happy to promote, nice work. Kosack (talk) 09:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
