A brave second-half performance earned Cowdenbeath a draw with Annan, but manager Liam Fox was not at all pleased with what he saw in the first 45 minutes.
An error strewn first-half saw Annan Athletic take a two-goal lead into the half-time break.
Barry Cuddihy was given too much time to fire a 25-yarder home after 21 minutes.
Eight minutes from the break no one picked up old boy David McKenna, who scored a second.
The hosts did not create anything too dangerous.
But after the break the same 11 Cowdenbeath players started to punch big holes in the Annan defence.
In 50 minutes Fraser Mullen’s cross was headed home by Kyle Miller, and then the Fifers saw Kris Renton twice stopped by visiting keeper Blair Currie, and Miller fire just wide from close in.
The equaliser came with nine minutes to go when Currie blocked Miller’s drive only for substitute Nikolay Todorov to blast the rebound high into the net to earn a point.
Fox said: “The first 45 minutes was simply awful. Again we contrived to give away the first goal through a bad error.
“The second was also avoidable, and we created very little.
“We had a few words at the break about where we were going wrong and, to their credit, the lads went about things well after the interval and really we could have gone on to win the game.”
