Jay Saunders saw Maidstone's goalless draw at Guiseley as a missed opportunity.
The Stones had plenty of chances against the National League's bottom side but couldn't make them count and returned from Yorkshire with a goalless draw.
It moves them six points clear of the bottom four although Barrow, who now occupy the final relegation spot, have two games in hand.

Maidstone manager Saunders said: "I think we've had enough chances to win the game, enough spells in the game, I thought we had the majority of possession.
"They looked dangerous on the break but if you really look at it I think we've hit the crossbar twice, maybe three times, we've got in some great areas and really we've got to do better.
"I think if we do then we win the game but we haven't been able to do that that again and that's the disappointing thing.
"I thought we defended well for large parts of it but I'm disappointed really.
"It's a point. I think it was important we didn't come here and lose.
"That was the main thing but I just think there was three points there for the taking today and at times we played some good stuff."
A big plus for Maidstone was the performance of Reece Prestedge after weeks out of the team.
Saunders always had him in mind for Guiseley and the 32-year-old bossed midfield.
"People don't see what goes on week to week in training and on match days behind the scenes," said Saunders.
"I'll give Prezza his due, he's never once sulked, that sometimes happens with players, his attitude's been first class and even if he's been left out the squad he gets behind the boys.
"I did say to him a few weeks back your chance will come and I thought he was absolutely outstanding and for me was man-of-the-match.
"He's probably not played for months so it was hard for him but he's looked after himself - I know it probably doesn't look he has - but he has looked after himself and done extra work with Harrison Grant (fitness coach)."
