Lead

[edit]

Carlisle United

[edit]
  • "League Two side Carlisle United " - club for variety
  • Wikilink the term corner kick

Swansea City

[edit]
  • The wikilink in the word "A" in the second column in the table should be corrected to Layer Road
  • "In the second round, Swansea recorded a comfortable 4–0 victory over Rushden & Diamonds." - the word "comfortable" isn't particularly encyclopedic
  • "The only goal of the game was scored shortly before half time by Akinfenwa, his fourth goal of the competition," - repetition of the term "goal"

Background

[edit]
  • "Carlisle entered the final having won seven of their previous eight fixtures and having not suffered a defeat for nine league games." - and were not beaten in their last nine league games.
  • "and won the 1997 final." - and victory in the 1997 final.

Pre-match

[edit]
  • "Carlisle were dealt a blow" - please reword the text in bold to a more formal, encyclopedic phrase
  • Wikilink cup-tied
  • The percent symbol should be replaced by per cent per MOS:PERCENT
  • Wikilink play-off finals to English Football League play-offs

Aftermath

[edit]
  • "Regarding his goal, Trundle has described the effort as the best goal he scored during his career," - repetition of the word "goal"

Summary

[edit]
  • Wikilink offside to Offside (association football)
  • "Swansea retook the lead with nine minutes remaining, Trundle playing through Akinfenwa," - the first comma is not appropriate in this instance

References

[edit]
  • Reference 3 sends me to the Football Club History Database source and not the one from the RSSSF
  • The hyphens in reference 13 should be replaced by en dashes (–)
  • Ref 35: "Carlisle United 1 Swansea City 2"" A comma is missing between "1" and "Swansea"
