Potters Bar lost a proverbial "six-pointer" 2-0 at Waltham Forest yesterday.
The defeat leaves the struggling Scholars looking anxiously over their shoulders as the season enters the closing stages.
Town are fifth from bottom, just three points above the Stags having played a game more.
Tilbury, who are third from bottom, are seven points behind Potters Bar with a couple of games in hand.
Suddenly the dreaded words "relegation fight" spring to mind.
