The Race To Stay In League 1 Set To Go Down To The Wire

|

There are just seven games left of our 2018/19 League 1 campaign and its set to go right down to the wire.

As we sit here now the Saddlers sit in the last relegation spot. Anyone from 12th down to 24th can still realistically get relegated in what is probably the most open league in the Football pyramid.

Should Bristol Rovers win their game tomorrow evening against Doncaster Rovers you would imagine themselves, Gillingham, Oxford and Plymouth will be two results away from securing League 1 safety.

We are now at that point where the Fishy Calculator comes into effect – if you randomise the table without entering any results in they have us relegated on 46 points.

We take a look at the run in of a few sides currently within touching distance of the trap door.
