Forest Green Rovers’ Kyle McAllister believes his side will ‘give everything’ against Wycombe Wanderers on Easter Monday.
The West Country outfit travel to Buckinghamshire for the Bank Holiday fixture, knowing that a defeat against the Chairboys will all but relegate them back into League Two after a season in the third tier.

A defeat at Adams Park, along with an Accrington Stanley victory over promotion-pushing Sheffield Wednesday, will mean that even if FGR were to win their five remaining matches of the campaign, it might not be enough to save them from the drop.
