   Pass/Fail:

General

• Please be consistent in how Torquay is referred to in the article as it is alternatively referred to as "Torquay" and "Torquay United"

Lead

• Relegation will need to be wikilinked to the relevant article
• The terms goalkeeper and aggregate will also need wikilinking

Route to the final

• "the club which had finished immediately above the relegation places in the Third Division competed with three clubs" - repetition of "club(s)"
• "the club which had finished immediately above the relegation places in the Third Division competed with three clubs from the Fourth Division for a place" - repetition of "place(s)"
• "Scunthorpe were reduced to ten players when Paul Nicol was sent off." - what was Nicol sent off for?

  It doesn't say in the sources. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 18:32, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Background

• The text previous season is linked to 1986–87 Football League when that is already linked in the preceding section
• "Swansea City had played in the fourth tier of English football for two seasons, and had played in the First Division as recently as the 1982–83 season," - repetition of "played"
• "In the matches between the sides during the regular season, the match at the Vetch Field in December 1987" - repetition of "match(es)"

First leg (Summary)

• Vetch Field is a duplicate link
• Wikilink the terms free kick, header and cross to the relevant articles only on the first mention

Second leg (summary)

• "Love was pulled down in the Torquay penalty area" - pulled down by whom?

  Not one of the three sources says. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 18:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Details (second leg)

• Appears to me that the time the goals were scored is incorrect if the text above this section states

References

• References 6, 8, 20 and 21 have incorrect publication dates

  As were two years in the prose! Fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 18:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
