I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:37, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Here are the issues I found:
 * "However, a year later" the however probably isn't needed.
 * "Boyd was handed his debut" sounds iffy; perhaps just "Boyd made his debut"
 * What does feature mean? I presume that means a starting role, but I could be wrong, so link for those who don't really know footy terms.
 * "scoring a brace" Also not sure what this means; link or reword.
 * Be careful about using words like "impressive" or stuff of that nature; unless the source uses those kinds of words, avoid them. Example is "His fine form continued, scoring four goals.." Four goals is certainly great, but the adjective aren't necessary; the reader can probably figure out that on their own.
 * "Due to his impressive form," as noted above, this can be cut.
 * "Boyd was named in the England C team" to the
 * "Although this caused a degree of controversy," this could be added onto slightly. as it reads now, no way of knowing who found it controversial or why until after i read the ref. Only a little bit needs adding though since nothing came of it.

I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
