Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe insists he has “no doubt” he can turn the club’s fortunes around after they fell seven points adrift of Dunfermline at the bottom of the Championship on Saturday.
The Diamonds’ dismal run continued as the lost 1-0 to the Pars at East End Park, making it six defeats on the bounce for McCabe’s men and five games without scoring.
They have also just one once in their last 16 games in all competitions on a run that includes an embarrassing defeat to Lowland League East Kilbride in the SPFL Trust Trophy.
Injuries have played their part with a host of first team players missing.
And ahead of a visit from second-place Livingston on Saturday, McCabe says their fortunes will turn.
He said: “I’ve no doubt in my mind we can turn it around, we’ve got a lot of players to come back. It’s tough just now but it’s the way football is.
“Four months ago we were in the play-offs and winning a trophy and everything was rosy. You have ups and downs.
“We know what we’ve got to do. We should take elements of the second half on Saturday. It was much more like us in terms of enthusiam and getting bodies forward. We can still do better but I think confidence plays a huge factor in where we are.
“Hopefully getting more bodies back fit towards the end of the week and the next few weeks will be a good headache to have.
“We’ve got a stretch if seven or eight games where we’ve got good teams at home so we need to make sure we are extremely postive and keep working hard.”
