Date, length and hook all OK (I still hate that banal EFL rebrand!). QPQ done, no cloese paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:56, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

The title for the infobox needs to capitalise "Final" to match the article title.
"struck the ball first-time shot into the far corner", sentence doesn't quite work.
League 1 > League One

Route to the final[edit]

Worth linking the first use of header.
"Armand Gnanduillet header made", doesn't quite work.

Background[edit]

"since being relegated 2011–12 season", something missing here.
Link Faryl Smith.
"played as 4–4–2", should this be a 4–4–2?

Summary[edit]

"struck the ball first-time shot into the far corner", a little muddled here.
Link penalty area.
League 1 > League One.

Details[edit]

Is there any reason the attendance and referee are missing from this section?
Ian Black is listed as coming on in the 42nd minute here, but in the 62nd in the text.

A few minor points, but very little to complain about really. Placed on hold for now while these are looked at. Kosack (talk) 07:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
