Relegation odds cut

ATHLETIC are down to 5-2 to suffer relegation to League Two — but the current bottom four are all rated odds-on.

Competition sponsors Sky Bet rate Lee Johnson’s men as seventh most likely to slide.

Notts County, who come to Boundary Park on May 3, are clear favourites for the drop at 1-8.

Next in line are Shrewsbury (4-11), Crewe (8-11), Stevenage (10-11), Carlisle (6-5) and Tranmere (2-1). Directly above Athletic are Colchester (4-1), who host Johnson’s side on April 18.
