Graham Alexander cut a frustrated figure after watching his Fleetwood side throw away a lead and their unbeaten run in a 2-1 loss to Exeter. With five men at the back the Grecians frustrated their high-flying hosts before hitting them late on the counter. It paid dividends, Scot Bennett's double within five second-half minutes cancelling out Matty Blair's opener. The Cod Army had won their previous four games, and Alexander said: "It was a frustrating afternoon. "First half they played to frustrate us which you can understand with our recent form. "The two goals we're not happy with. "We've taken the lead and taken a backward step. "We tried to protect the 1-0 rather than playing the same."
