Wycombe and Walsall - Which team will survive?

I've been fortunate enough to see a few games involving Wycombe and Walsall recently and with four games to go, I still have hopes that both clubs will survive the drop.

Walsall now find themselves better positioned to do so and are four points clear of Wycombe who occupy that last relegation place.

The Chairboys did themselves no favours against Chesterfield on Monday and when I saw the result come through while reporting on the Oxford game, I was left wondering whether the Wycombe boys had been a little complacent.

Chesterfield are rock bottom and going down. I saw them lose to Walsall on Saturday and you could see the steam coming out of manager John Sheridan's ears in the press conference afterwards. No doubt he told a few of his players that they weren't just playing for a job next season, but - given the precarious nature of football - their careers in league football. Whatever he said, it seems to have worked as they gave Wycombe a good old 4-0 tonking.

Gary Waddock will hope that his lads can bounce back in the same manner when they take on Oldham this weekend.

Oldham are by no means out of the woods themselves and - along with Orient - will be looking nervously over their shoulders. A win for Wycombe could cause panic in the small town in Lancashire with three games left.

Having taken a look at the remaining fixtures, I have made some predictions below which sees both Wycombe and Walsall fans checking out the League One fixture lists again next season and Oldham going down.

Of course there are so many unknowns at this time of the season and my last day prediction of a point for the Chairboys at Sheffield Wednesday presumes that Sheffield United will already have won promotion to the Championship - leaving thee Owls to take their feet of the gas in preparation for the play-offs.

Then again, will Notts County be scrapping tooth and nail to get into the play-offs when they visit Adams Park on April 28th?
