Background

The play-off final was Northampton's 64th match of the season. — What's the significance of that?
That's a lot of matches. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Bradford squad had cost a total of £7,500 — What does this mean? Surely not their collective salary for the year?
That's how much transfer fee had been paid in total. That's also linked. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Roy O'Donovan's header for Northampton went wide of the Bradford goal. — When?
Source doesn't say. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Northampton failed to register a single shot on target — Then why did McLaughlin need to save that shot from Hanson?
Trick: wrong goalkeeper. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Details

Keith Stroud (Hampshire) — The Hampshire portion isn't mentioned anywhere else, including in the infobox.
Sourced, added to infobox. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Assistant Referees: Steve Copeland and Jake Hillier — The fourth official was mentioned in the text, so why not these guys?
They're unsourced so I've removed them. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Are none of those five yellow cards worth mentioning in the summary?
Added some detail. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

Through "Details" so far; more to come. --Usernameunique (talk) 08:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

Looks like the book has a subtitle (A Comprehensive History of the Football League Play-Offs), is that right? If so, I would add it in—it makes the nature of the book a lot more clear. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:19, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Usernameunique all done, over to you. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:09, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
