a passing move from Wycombe
— What does this mean?- A move involving passing? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- That doesn't clarify things. Looking at the source does. I've amended the text accordingly. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Route to the final
Darren Moore then scored with a volley in the 57th minute
— It's unclear what team this was for until the next few sentences. Maybe something like "Darren Moore then doubled the score with a volley..." would make it clearer.Ellis scored with a header to put Preston ahead but Torquay's Gregory Goodridge equalised after going one-on-one with Woods.
— Minutes?Moore was sent off for punching Paul Raynor
— Any word on what set him off?- No, it literally says "... was sent off for punching Paul Rayner." The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
A goal from Stuart Hicks levelled the tie on aggregate
— What minute? Also, suggest adding the match score (3–1) here.- No minute, score added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:45, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Raynor scored with a header and Preston progressed to the final with a 4–3 aggregate victory
— Likewise, suggest adding the match score (4–1).caught by Garner on the break
— What minute? Link break to Glossary of association football terms#B?wrong-footing
— What does this mean?- Per the Merriam-Webster dictionary: "to cause (someone, such as an opponent in soccer or tennis) to lean into or step with the wrong foot broadly". The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Interesting, didn't realize it was a term that had made its way into a dictionary. Worth linking as "wrongfooting"? I'm not sure if linking words to Wiktionary definitions is frowned upon. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Summary
Guppy's shot
— Minute?- Sources don't say. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Ian Bryson became the first player of the match to be shown the yellow card in the 16th minute
— What did he do?- Sources don't say. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
an attempt by Preston's Jamie Squires to defend Thompson's strike put the ball into the net for an own goal
— Any more details on this?- No, it says "A desperate attempt by Preston's Squires to get to the shot only helped it over the line." The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
a passing move from Wycombe
— What does this mean?- A move involving passing? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Glyn Creaser became the first Wycombe player to be shown the yellow card
— What did he do?- Sources don't say. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Gareth Ainsworth was then booked in the 49th minute
— What did he do? Also, maybe avoid saying "booked", which is jargon.- Sources don't say, and it's really not jargon, it's absolutely a fact. It's called a "booking". I could link it to the glossary if it's really a major issue. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Garner was then booked in the 75th minute
— Ditto & dittoat their first attempt, earning back-to-back promotions.
— This is repeated below. Any reason to have it twice?- Yes, it was for DYK. It's removed now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Details
- Missing time of match
Post-match
one place outside the play-offs
— And how many points?losing at the semi-final stage
— Anything to link to (e.g., the "Route to the final" section of the appropriate article)?- The relevant overall play-off article is already linked in the previous sentence. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:36, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
References
- #2, 3, 4, 5 — Only 4 & 5 have archived links. But do the links actually do anything for you? They just take me to a page saying I need to register.
- I use the archive tool on the talkpage which (I guess) is accredited by WMF. I don't do anything more than that, if it's malfunctioning then I guess a ticket should be raised but I think that's outside the scope of the GAN. I'll happily remove archived links, but it's not unreasonable to ask for registration I guess. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:33, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Overall
- The Rambling Man, all yours. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Usernameunique all addressed and/or responded to. It's quite common in the earlier contemporary reports that finer details like goal times were not reported in post-match reports, by the way. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 21:54, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- The Rambling Man, passing now. Two comments (including one possible suggestion) above. Makes sense re: details not showing up in post-match reports; I just figure that I'll ask, and if there's nothing to add then there's nothing to add.
