Refer to the following B737-800 botched Go Around in Bournemouth in 2007
The report says 737-3Q8, did you post the wrong link perhaps?

GA and then stall?
Not again???
Nowadays, we are all encouraged to go around for a wide variety of reasons, as if going around is a risk free procedure that will automatically cure all your troubles.

Yes, I know a GA is a normal manoeuvre, and shouldn't cause a regular crew any difficulty, but here's another accident on the go around.
And until very recently, most of the training I've had in this area was a go around from near minimums. When you perform a go around at other phases of the approach, there are nuances of the speed window opening, altitude capture, autothrottle modes and number of autopilots engaged that sometimes puzzle even the geniuses over at the sim building.

On the widebody Boeings that I've flown you leave the autopilot on but disconnect the autothrottles and manually apply full thrust on a windshear escape maneuver on a coupled approach. Would this be the same on a B-738?
