Two more home defeats left Pinchbeck United fighting for their lives at the foot of the United Counties League Premier Division North table.
Abysmal form at the Sir Halley Stewart Field has seen them win just one of their 13 home games so far this season.
They need to discover the winning formula quickly because all but one of their remaining matches are on home territory.
On Saturday they trailed Ashby Ivanhoe 3-0 at the interval and Oliver Fields’ great solo goal was mere consolation in a 4-1 defeat.
A seven-minute drop in concentration levels proved costly with Sam Grouse grabbing a hat-trick for Ashby after an even first 30 minutes.
Substitute Clayton Wilkinson led a second-half fightback to earn the man of the match award.
On Tuesday, Boston Town took the lead when they capitalised on a slip by goalkeeper Lewis Cox and completed a 2-0 win through Will Langford after Marshall Young had gone close for the hosts.
The Knights sit two points behind Hucknall Town from a game more.
