Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Lead

"The top three teams of the 2000–01 Football League Third Division, Brighton & Hove Albion, Cardiff City and Chesterfield, gained automatic promotion to the Second Division, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh place in the table took part in play-offs." - repetition of "teams"

Route to the final

"Leyton Orient finished the regular 2000–01 season in fifth place in the Third Division, the fourth tier of the English football league system, two places and three points ahead of Blackpool." - repetition of "place(s)"
"Leyton Orient finished three points behind Chesterfield (who were promoted in third place, despite having been deducted nine points)," - why were Chesterfield deducted nine points?
"Blackpool's opponents in their play-off semi-final were Hartlepool United with the first match of the two-legged tie taking place at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool on 13 May 2001." - will need verifying with another source since BBC Sport does not mention Sixfields as the stadium this match was played
Wikilink pass to the relevant article only on the first mention
"In the second semi-final, Leyton Orient faced Hull City and the first match was played at Boothferry Park, Hull's home ground, on 13 May 2001." - Same query as the third point in this section
The terms foul and cross can be wikilinked to the relevant articles for non-Football readers
"The second leg took place there days later" - spelling error; three

Summary

"Three minutes later Bayes made a save to deny Danny Coid from close range," - deny for what exactly?
A wikilink to substitutions and injury time would help non-Football readers

Shall put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query every one of the points raised in this review MWright96 (talk) 20:07, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
