This seasons relegation battle in League One has got to be one of the tightest in history. With Bradford City in 24th (36 points) and Oxford United in 13th (46 points) any of 12 teams still aren't safe from the dreaded drop back down to the basement division that is League Two. With just seven games remaining, those 12 teams will still be looking over their shoulders and supporters will be hoping that their clubs can do just enough to survive come May.
As someone who regularly looks at what teams around us in the table are doing and who they still have to play I thought I'd put all that in one place so that we can all see just who plays who in this relegation dog fight. With just goal difference separating us and Walsall in 21st, I'm not going to focus on those teams above us, just those who are below us and could move above us from now till the end of the season. As mentioned by @Stuart W it might be worth adding Scunthrope United and Shrewsbury Town fixtures and also Wycomebe Wanders and Accrington Stanley's as requested by @LBBlue so here they are.
One thing that I notice looking at those fixtures for teams below us is just how many of us play teams who are also in the relegation battle. With Rochdale having a game in hand, albeit against high flying Portsmouth it's still going to go down right to the last day I think. Despite being in horrendous form, no win in eleven games now and playing under a manager who in my opinion has lost the dressing room, I still have hope that we'll just have enough to survive.. or at least I hope.
