Overall:
Pass/Fail:

"The top three teams of the 1996–97 Football League Third Division, Carlisle United, Fulham and league winners Wigan Athletic, gained automatic promotion to the Second Division, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh place" - repetition of "teams"
Wikilink volley to the appropriate article for non-Football readers
How about wikilinking the term goalkeeper to its article like in the lede?
I suggest both mentions of the word season in the third paragraph be wikilinked to their respective articles where possible

"Northampton Town finished the regular 1997–98 season in fourth place in the Football League Fourth Division, the fourth tier of the English football league system, one place and one point ahead of Swansea City." - repetition of "place"
"and three minute later," - spelling error
"David Flitcroft had a goal disallowed" - why was the goal disallowed?
"Swansea's defender Steve Jones broke his leg" - how about clarifying which leg Jones broke?

"This was Swansea City's second appearance in a play-off final, having won the 1988 Football League Fourth Division play-off Final 5–4 on aggregate against Torquay United. They had played in the fourth tier of English football since being relegated in the 1989–90 season." - WalesOnline does not mention this information. A reliable source is needed to verify this information
"In the two matches between the side during the regular season," - spelling error

Like with the fourth point in the eaead, i suggest both mentions of the word season in the second paragraph be wikilinked to their respective articles where possible

Shall put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 09:43, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
