Route to the final
- Why was
Crewe Alexandra F.C.Bristol City F.C. in fifth place, and Crewe Alexandra F.C. in sixth, if both had the same number of points? Was there a tiebreaker?- Eh? I guess you mean Bristol and Crewe? No tiebreaker, their league positions (when tied on points) were determined on goal difference. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:51, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yep, my mistake. That's what I meant by a tiebreaker—not an extra game, just a numerical way of breaking the tie. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:39, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

The visitors went ahead on three minutes through David Oldfield but Mark Rivers equalised for Crewe eight minutes into the second half.
— Any details on the goals?The away side took the lead in the 13th minute through Paul Smith
— Any details on the goal?Taylor scored midway through the half, however, and with eleven minutes remaining, Marcus Bent added a second
— Any details on the goals?
Background
- Here or in "Summary", the location of the match (Wembley Stadium) should be mentioned.
Summary
Dele Adebola's shot hit the crossbar of the Brentford goal
— Minute?- "Details" notes a number of yellow cards. Are any of the details of them worth mention in "Summary"?
- There are no details in any sources available. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Details
- The minute of the Tamer Fernandes-for-Kevin Dearden substitution isn't given. Also, worth mentioning the substitution in "Summary"?
- Because he wasn't substituted. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:59, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Got it, so he was just an available substitute. Any idea why if each team could only name three substitutes (as it appears), Brentford chose to name a goalie to one of these few spots? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:41, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Very common to name a goalkeeper in the subs, even when only three were allowed, as it's such a specialised position. Outfield players sometimes go in goal but it's usually a comedy moment... The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

- The hover-over text for the red card given to Brian Statham reads "Sent off (straight red)", while "Summary" says that it was simply a second yellow.
Post-match
both he and Webb left the club
— Why?21st place in the Second Division and relegation to the Third Division
— Might be worth adding that they were one place and two or three points away from sticking around. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:45, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
