- Tend to avoid single-sentence paras, lead could be either expanded to make the first para larger or merge/split accordingly.
- "during the 2016–17 season" seems weird to link the Grimsby season when he's playing for other clubs in that season, maybe just the general season article?
- "of the 2019–20 season on loan " lnk?
- "end of the 2020–21 season" ditto.
- "Jones born" ->" Dan Jones was born"
- Could add DOB there too.
- " the Academy at" no need for capital A.
- "youth-team" no hyphen required.
- "Jones' progress" Jones's.
- "meniscus cartilage tear" link?
- "at Victoria Park on" context?
- Link caretaker.
- "manager Paul Murray" manager has a link.
- "who would last just six weeks" bit tabloid, maybe "who lasted six weeks"
- "helping "Pools" to avoid" avoid unexplained nicks.
- "summer.[15][16][14] " order.
- "made just 12" "just" is inherently POV.
- "in just three league" stop saying "just".
- "only five appearances" ditto with "only", perhaps context so say how many games the team had that season or something to give people a comparison.
- "would miss" ->"missed".
- "impressed new" according to whom?
- "as the "Bluebirds" finished" nickname again.
- "having stood out in an inconsistent Barrow team" your opinion or attributable quote?
- "Manager Ian Evatt stated.." it was Alexander a couple of sentences ago?
- "was curtailed early on 16 March" no need for early, curtailed means that.
- " in an EFL Trophy tie against" overlinked.
- "on 62-minutes" no hyphen.
- "a yellow card" link.
- "new "Ammies" manager" nickname...
- "honest... he'll" non-breaking space before ... for an ellipsis.
- "red card" link.
- "to switch the play" link or explain.
- "throw-in" link.

that footballer Dan Jones discovered that he was talented at taking throw-ins after having been a javelin thrower at school?Source: link “I didn’t play football until I was about 12 and never even used it until I went to Barrow (four years ago). But I did javelin as a kid and enjoyed athletics, so it must have come from that"
Improved to Good Article status by EchetusXe (talk). Self-nominated at 22:35, 11 July 2022 (UTC).
General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - I had a little trouble parsing the phrasing of the hook. Suggest ALT1 ... that footballer Dan Jones credits his skill at taking throw-ins to having been a javelin thrower as a child?
QPQ: Done. |
Overall: New GA (same day as nomination), well-sourced and neutral. No copyvio concerns, proper QPQ done. Hook is sourced and interesting. I've suggested alternative wording, ALT1, above; @EchetusXe: keen for your thoughts on that? Chocmilk03 (talk) 05:12, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah that new hook is better worded than mine.EchetusXe 11:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
