22. North Ferriby... 39.. 1 5 14 2 3 14 21 97 -76.. 17

My picks to go down, Tamworth, Gainsborough and North Ferriby.
No change.
However, could Gainsborough (remaining games are Telford (A), Tamworth (H)) jump over Curzon Ashton or Alfreton to stay up? Leamington beating Chorley gives them a much better chance of staying up.
