Hide AdJoint boss Mitch Hand says a failure to take their chances is hurting them and it’s something they need to change, as they bid to move away from the wrong end of the table in their final nine games.
They have three home games in a week now – facing Merstham on Saturday, Erith & Belvedere on Tuesday and Ramsgate on Good Friday.
Hand said: “The Hastings game is going to be one that stays with me for a long time – there was a real opportunity there.
"We played so well for 70 minutes but we just didn’t take our chances.

"It’s a recurring theme at the minute, though.
"I can’t fault the effort or even the performances, we’ve been good, but we just haven’t been clinical.
"At Ashford we probably had 70 per cent of the ball but we just were quite ruthless enough in front of goal.
"We’ve got a huge five weeks now and it’s do or die time for us.
"Things at the bottom are a lot closer then we would have liked but we’re up for the challenge and we’re going to do everything we can to keep the club in this division.”
