My picks to go down, as of today, Leamington, Gainsborough and North Ferriby.
Leamington have only 4 easier games to play, Gainsborough have lost two games this week 0-5 to Bradford, today 0-3 to fellow struggler Southport
Bottom 11 teams this week
FC Utd of Man; 7 games against common bottom 10 opponents; 24/02 Telford (A), 03/03 Gainsborough (H), 31/03 Leamington (A), 07/04 Tamworth (A), 14/04 Darlington (H), 21/04 Alfreton (A), 28/04 North Ferriby
FCUM 0-0 Chorley; A goalless draw on Friday night lifts FCUM above Tamworth, FCUM are now 6 points in front of 20th place Gainsborough
Alfreton; 5 games; 03/03 Telford (H), 24/03 Southport (A), 30/03 Nuneaton (H) Fri, 02/04 Curzon (A), 21/04 FCUM (H)
Alfreton 2-1 Tamworth; Tied at half time 1-1, Alfreton get a winner in the last 5 minutes, lifting them into 13th place over Tamworth who fall into the bottom pack.
Darlington; 7 games; 03/03 Tamworth (A), 10/03 Curzon (H), 17/03 North Ferriby (H), 24/03 Telford (A), 31/03 Southport (H), 14/04 FCUM (A), 21/04 Nuneaton (H)
Bradford 0-1 Darlington; Another solid performance, the second straight clean sheet, third straight win as David Syers 56th min goal wins the three points, the Quakers have now won 11 points out of a possible 15 in the last five games, lifting them into 14th place
Tamworth; 6 games; 17/02 Telford (H), 03/03 Darlington (H), 10/03 Southport (A), 24/03 Curzon (A), 30/03 North Ferriby (H) (Fri), 07/04 FCUM (H)
Alfreton 2-1 Tamworth; A loss in the last 5 mins today, results in Tamworth falling into 15th place, FCUM, Alfreton & Darlington all leap over them. A very long shot to go down, Tamworth are five points above 20th place Gainsborough and have a far superior goal difference (-8 to -25)
Southport; 7 games; 17/02 North Ferriby (A), 24/02 Curzon (H), 10/03 Tamworth (H), 24/03 Alfreton (H), 31/03 Darlington (A), 07/04 Nuneaton (H), TBA Telford (H)
Gainsborough 0-3 Southport; A huge win as a Jason Gilchrist hat trick (two in the first half) lift Southport to 16th place with a 3-0 win at strugglers Gainsborough, making in 4 points between the teams and improving the goal difference margin between the two teams also (-14 to Gainsborough’s -25).
Nuneaton; 7 games; 27/02 Telford (A), 03/03 Curzon (A), 10/03 North Ferriby, (H)
17/03 Leamington (A), 30/03 Alfreton (A) Fri, 07/04 Southport (A), 21/04 Darlington (A)
Stockport P-P Nuneaton; No game today has Nuneaton fall to 17th place.
Leamington; 4 games; 17/03 Nuneaton (H), 31/03 FCUM (H), 02/04 Telford (A), 14/04 Curzon (H)
Leamington 1-3 Harrogate; After Leamington had equalised on 55 mins to cancel out ex-Quaker Mark Beck’s first half goal, Harrogate score a minute later on their way to a 3-1 win. Leamington are now in 18th place and see Curzon (1 point) and Telford (3 points) make up ground on them. On Tuesday night Telford vs Curzon Ashton, if either team wins, Leamington will fall into the bottom four, a draw will keep Leamington fifth bottom on a better goal difference of 3, both Curzon Ashton (1 game) and Telford (3 games) will still have games to play.
Curzon Ashton; (8 games); 13/02 Telford (A), 24/02 Southport (H), 03/03 Nuneaton (H), 10/03 Darlington (A), 24/03 Tamworth (H), 02/04 Alfreton (H), 14/04 Leamington (A), TBA Gainsborough (H)
Boston 3-3 Curzon Ashton; After 61 minutes Curzon Ashton lead 3-0, 3 goals between the 63rd and 75th min for mid table Boston wipe out the lead, it might be two points lost but the one point gained lifts Curzon Ashton over Gainsborough into 19th place with a 13 goal superior goal difference (-12 to -25), Curzon also have an extra game to play. A big game on Tuesday night as Curzon travel to 21st place Telford.
Gainsborough; (5 games); 03/03 FCUM (A), 02/04 North Ferriby (A), 21/04 Telford (A), 28/04 Tamworth (H), TBA Curzon (A)
Gainsborough 0-3 Southport; A bad week for Gainsborough who lose 0-5 midweek, and then 0-3 today to Southport who are now four points and superior goal difference ahead. Apart from a game at North Ferriby, today might have been the best chance for Gainsborough to win any of its remaining games. On Tuesday night, Telford vs Curzon Ashton, any result is not helpful to Gainsborough, a draw probably the best result but that would cause Telford to rise above them on a far superior goal difference.
Telford; (9 games); 13/02 Curzon (H), 17/02 Tamworth (A), 24/02 FCUM (H), 27/02 Nuneaton (H), 03/03 Alfreton (A), 24/03 Darlington (H), 02/04 Leamington (H), 21/04 Gainsborough (H), TBA Southport (A)
Telford 3-0 North Ferriby; The two bottom teams meet, and Telford did what they needed to do, winning 3-0. Four home games this month against Bottom 11 teams, this was an important win, going into Tuesday night’s game against 19th place Curzon Ashton. Another win (even 1-0) will lift Telford to 17th place.
North Ferriby; (6 games); 17/02 Southport (H), 10/03 Nuneaton (A), 17/03 Darlington (A), 30/03 Tamworth (A) (Fri), 02/04 Gainsborough (H), 28/04 FCUM (A)

Up to the recovery at Leamington, it was a real concern, where were enough points going to come from to stay up.
We are not out of the woods but 6 points so far in February is fantastic. The fixture list had four opponents either in or contending for the playoffs, getting two draws for the month would have seen like decent results a month ago, but we’ve won the first two, that is a great achievement, hopefully the improved play and improved consistency will carry on and I’d be happy with two more points, getting a win over Kidderminster would be fantastic.
Winners today
Darlington obviously, we won at a playoff contending Bradford
Telford, 3-0 winners, catching up to the 3rd and 4th bottom teams
Southport, 3-0 winners, separating themselves from Gainsborough
Losers today
Gainsborough, sliding towards the relegation zone with two losses this week
Leamington, another home loss
Curzon Ashton, losing a 3-0 lead with 30 mins to go, finishing with a 3-3 draw
Is the Bottom 11 too many teams, today, probably not, in a month, probably, if Leamington and Gainsborough don't find form, FCUM, Alfreton, Darlington, Tamworth and Southport will get enough points that 50 points might be way more than is needed to stay up, but there are no guarantees in this game.
FCUM ................0-0 Chorley FT (Friday night)

Southport, 3-0 winners, separating themselves from Gainsborough
Losers today
Gainsborough, sliding towards the relegation zone with two losses this week
Leamington, another home loss
Curzon Ashton, losing a 3-0 lead with 30 mins to go, finishing with a 3-3 draw
Is the Bottom 11 too many teams, today, probably not, in a month, probably, if Leamington and Gainsborough don't find form, FCUM, Alfreton, Darlington, Tamworth and Southport will get enough points that 50 points might be way more than is needed to stay up, but there are no guarantees in this game.
