This left the Hillians in 20th place in the table while the Met Police rose to fifth and Dulwich Hamlet are now top.

But worryingly the table is looking very even and Hill, although fifth from bottom on goal difference are actually level on points with the second to bottom team.

Hillians manager Ian Chapman said: “We weren’t good enough. We’ve got a really talented squad,

“We played well against Dartford and Dulwich and lost, which was fair enough.

“But against Met Police we lacked the killer punch.

“I don’t want to be saying the same things all season. But sometimes football’s that way.

“The teams we have been playing away are all in the top five and have got good home records.

“We haven’t played anyone in the bottom half of the table away from home yet.

“We looked like a team of individuals on Tuesday. I don’t want to be down the bottom.”
