Cowdenbeath player/boss Colin Cameron is concerned that his side’s poor home form could put their place in the First Division at risk.
Over the past fortnight the Blue Brazil have failed to beat two of their survival rivals Dumbarton and Airdrie at Central Park, and it all adds up to just one home league win this term.
Added to that is the fact that Cowden have now gone a total of eight games without a win in the division.
After Saturday’s draw, a result that keeps them in sixth place, Cameron said: ”One win and three draws from our home fixtures is not good enough. We have put on some decent performances on our own park but have failed to come away with full points and that has seen the teams below us close the gap.
”We played reasonably well against Airdrie and had chances to score in the first half but a mixture of good goalkeeping and indifferent finishing saw a blank scoreline at the interval.
”We kept creating openings in the second half and scored a good goal and had couple of chances after that but could not get the key second.
”Then we switched off and gave Airdrie too much space in our box and the chance to get three points disappeared.”
Striker Greg Stewart scored after 69 minutes with a well placed header from Jamie Stevenson’s corner and the front man should have added to his tally soon after but was denied by Airdrie’s on-loan keeper from Rangers, Grant Adam.
In 77 minutes the Fifers were caught flat-footed when Marc Warren slung over a cross from the left and Gregor Buchanan’s header gave goalkeeper Thomas Flynn no chance.
Airdrie boss Jimmy Boyle was pleased with the way his team responded to going a goal down.
He said: ”When we did go behind no one panicked, we kept trying to string together good passes and Gregor’s finish was excellent to give us the point I felt we deserved.”
