Wikipedia:Peer review/2022–23 Notts County F.C. season/archive1

I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to get it up to featured article standard. I'm a Notts County supporter and while I've tried to be neutral I may have slipped up in places by being biased or overly wordy. All comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Eric Idle's Cat (talk) 19:59, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Lead

edit

-too long, also needs some sources

Background

edit

- The first three paragraphs are completely unnecessary, and all this information should go into the National League article. This is way out of scope. The fourth paragraph is excellent, well sourced and explains the background well up to the club's first season back into the national league after relegation from League Two.

Coaching changes and player transfers

edit

Notts County brought in five players on loan during the 2022–23 season. Leicester City goalkeeper Brad Young joined on 26 August. Intended as a season-long loan, an injury forced his return to Leicester in January. I think these three sentences could be merged to Notts County brought in five players on loan during the 2022–23 season, starting with Leicester City goalkeeper Brad Young, who joined on 26 August.

The Magpies finished December with two home matches, the first a 2–0 win over Gateshead in which leading goal scorer Langstaff sustained an injury which kept him out of the following game.
