Barrow continue to concede late goals as another one in the 89th minute sent them down to a 1-0 defeat at Chesterfield.
Most of these defensive leaks have cost the Bluebirds victories, but slipping to defeat in others means they have slipped from joint top to 12th.
It was half-time substitute Jamie Grimes who grabbed the all-important goal for the Spireites and the win lifted them into a play-off place.
They have made progress up the table despite this being their first home win in League Two since early September.
Barrow started well with Charlie Kirk heading wide when Chris Stokes had put over a dangerous cross.
At the other end Barrow keeper Paul Farman was alert to race from goal to smother an effort from James Berry when the winger seemed favourite to put the home side ahead.
Former Chesterfield forward Andy Dallas went closest for Barrow when he got on the end of a long clearance by Farman and his flick hit a post.
Chesterfield were close to taking the lead early in the second half when a powerful effort from Dilan Markanday was tipped onto the bar by Farman.
More Chesterfield pressure saw Paddy Madden skim the roof of the net with a curled strike from distance and then reaching a corner but could only volley wide.
Barrow must be nervous when it’s getting nearer to time added on and it happened again. Centre-back Grimes powered the ball past Farman with one minute left and no end to the winless sequence for Stephen Clemence’s side.
