Airdrie boss Ian Murray says his Diamonds would be top of League One right now but for some painful moments late on in recent games.
In Saturday's 2-2 draw at Montrose Dylan Easton missed a penalty that would have delivered all three points, while a fortnight ago Murray's men conceded a stoppage time equaliser when they looked on course to down league leaders Cove.
Muray knows if those key moments - which came either side of Cove drawing with Queen's Park - had gone for his side they would be top of the pile, but instead they are now five points adrift of Cove with three games remaining.
