Diamonds remain in the final play-off position but now have Basford and Leek Town breathing down their necks.
And Peaks said: “The defending for the first two goals was poor and then we have given them another one early in the second half.
“We have lost to three headed goals, they were unchallenged and pretty much free headers.

“It’s important we turn this form on its head by this time next week.
“The performance levels have got to be a lot better because we slipped well below the standards we have set.”
Diamonds are back in action on Tuesday night when they make the trip to mid-table Chasetown.
