The Race To Stay In League 1

|

There are just eleven 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 are just two points above the relegation zone, with Bristol Rovers having a game in hand.

We are now at that point where theĀ Fishy Calculator comes into effect – if you randomise the table without entering any results in they have us staying up by five points, feeling optimistic? Nah us neither.

Anyone from 11th down to 24th can still get relegated in what is probably the most open league in the Football pyramid, however with us facing the top four sides after Fleetwood then Saturday’s game is turning into yet another must win game.

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