• "in the table partook in play-off semi-finals" - in the play-off

  No, this is just fine in BritEng. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:48, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Route to the final

• "before goals from Birmingham's Nikola Žigić scored midway through the second half." - pretty sure the text in bold is unneeded

Background

• "Blackpool's top scorer was Kevin Phillips who netted 16 times during the regular season." - maybe there is a better way to word the text in bold

  No information available about it. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:48, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• "During the regular season, he had contributed ten assists and eight goals to Blackpool's season;" - repetition of the word "season"

First half

• "but Nolan's pass was too heavy" - not too sure what this means

Post-match
