Arbroath have to take full advantage of Forfar slip-ups

Arbroath manager Dick Campbell wants to make sure his team take full advantage of any future stumble from League Two leaders Forfar.

While the table-toppers were going down to Berwick last Saturday, the Red Lichties were being held 1-1 by visitors Stirling Albion.

It was a point gained but Campbell said: “Forfar lost last weekend and we did not take the full points on offer to us.

“We have to ensure that if they lose again then we have won our game. It does not matter what Forfar do if we do not win our games.”

Arbroath welcome bottom side Cowdenbeath to Gayfield today.

Campbell added: “We will be looking to defeat Cowdenbeath and show that we mean business at home. We have not won enough games at Gayfield this season and we want put that right.

“We have a terrific record away from home where we have won five games in a row but at home we have had a disappointing time results-wise recently.”

David Gold will miss out, however Martin Scott has been passed fit and could return to the starting line-up.
