• Article nominated within seven days of five times expansion and meets the length guidelines. QPQ has been done. Article is neutral, reliably sources and not a copyright violation per Earwigs. Hook is interesting, short and reliably sourced in The Guardian newspaper source attached to it. GTG. I will note the hook itself has a missing word between "flight" and "Ireland" that needs to be added MWright96 (talk) 18:04, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• Wikilink cross to the relevant article for non-Football readers

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Route to the final

• "Leyton Orient finished the regular 1988–89 season in sixth place in the Football League Fourth Division – the fourth tier of the English football league system – one place and four points ahead of Wrexham." - repetition of "place"

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

• Darren Wright put the home side into the lead after two minutes when he scored from a free kick" - whose's free kick?

  Sources don't say. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Background

• "Both sides had won their away game in the matches between the sides during the regular season:" - repetition of "sides"

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Matches

• Just a note, is the one paragraph for both legs that really all the information that is available?

  Early days play-offs at this level of English football received scant coverage. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Second leg (summary)

• "and headed in a cross." - from who?

  The source mentions three players but doesn't make it clear which of them played the final ball in. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Post-match

• "Frank Clark, the winning manager said" - shouldn't there be another comma after the word "manager"?

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

• Wiklink Heathrow Airport

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

References

• Reference 11 "Orient's revival on course" has the incorrect publication date

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

• Reference 12 "Orient up" is missing the page number
