The League Two relegation battle

Last updated : 22 March 2008 By Jaybee

As the end of the season approaches, the clubs at the bottom of League Two are, naturally, beginning to get anxious and will be looking to string together some decent results and get the necessary results to allow them to pull themselves out of the relegation area.

Below, we list the fixtures for the run in to the end of the season for the clubs who are in the bottom nine places. Until the end of the season, we shall be keeping a close eye on all the results concerning the bottom of the table. A number of clubs have a lot of fixtures against other clubs who are involved in the relegation battle. For instance, 6 out of Shrewsbury's last 9 matches are against clubs in the bottom nine. Most of the clubs' fixtures are similar, with some clubs also facing sides who are in the chase for promotion. Bottom club, Wrexham, for instance, play 6 of the bottom 9 clubs, plus MK Dons and Hereford away in their last 11 Matches.
