Falcons coach Mick Clark said a 4-1 loss to Forest at Dudley Cornell Park in Horsham on Sunday dinted their aspirations.
“It puts us in an awkward position,” he said. “We’ve got to win our last three games to make finals now.
“It’s going to be a tight struggle, but that’s what we’ve got to do.
“We are the ones who got ourselves in this position.”
Clark said his side struggled to convert against Forest.
“We went 1-0 up, then we missed and missed and missed,” he said.
“It wasn’t the flogging the score line might suggest. We just didn’t get our goals.”
Clark said his side also needed to work on its defensive skills in the final rounds of the season.
