Overall:
Pass/Fail:

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

"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)[reply]

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)"

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

"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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]
