5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 18:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

  • Hi The Rambling Man, review follows; article 5x expanded from 7 February; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what appear to be reliable sources; I didn't notice any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a random spotcheck on the sources; hook is interesting (and quirky!), I've put the pub team bit in quotations as D&R aren't actually a pub team (let me know if this is an issue); a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:16, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, happy if the promotor wants to drop the quotes when building the set if they want to. Forgot to add the tick, so here it is - Dumelow (talk) 12:51, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Route to the final

Background

  • They had suffered relegation to the fourth tier of English football when they lost to Swansea City in the semi-finals of the 1988 Football League play-offs — You can be relegated after making it to the semifinals?
    Yes, in 1988 the teams near the bottom of the league played against the teams near the top of the league below in the play-offs, so the teams in the league above were playing to avoid relegation while those below were playing for promotion. It's there in the play-off article linked. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Post-match

  • We'll probably be the biggest-ever favourites to be relegated — Why?
    Almost invariably teams that get promoted are most likely to be relegated. Dagenham in particular were punching above their weight even in League Two, let alone League One. But as it's a quote, you'd probably have to ask him what his thinking was around that. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Roberts, Dagenham's 40-year-old goalkeeper ... Dagenham goalscorer Green — Green was a midfielder, no?
    That's right, the first says "goalkeeper" and the second says "goalscorer". The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Whoops, my mistake. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
