League One’s intriguing survival scrap

Coventry City manager Mark Robins.

The fight to stay in League One next season remains firmly in the balance.

Despite winning their games on Saturday, rock-bottom Coventry City and Chesterfield look consigned to relegation, with only four fixtures of the left to play.

The six positions above those two sides are separated by just five points, in what will be a nail-biting climax for those involved.

Currently, Swindon Town and Port Vale occupy the final two relegation positions, but then perched just outside the bottom four are a cluster of sides.

Gillingham, Shrewsbury Town, Bury and Oldham Athletic are all nervously looking over their shoulders in fear of getting sucked back into trouble.

The big winners on Saturday were Shrewsbury, who climbed out of the drop zone after Jack Payne netted the only goal to beat Rochdale at New Meadow, and Oldham, who beat Fleetwood Town 2-0 at Boundary Park.
