Tisdale slams Grecians' defending

30 October 2010 20:00
Exeter boss Paul Tisdale insisted his side can have no complaints about their 4-2 home defeat against Brentford. The Grecians' unbeaten home record came to an end as they were made to pay for some poor defending. Leon Legge headed the Bees in front only for Jamie Cureton to equalise. But Brentford hit the Grecians with two quick goals. Gary Alexander got the first when he bundled the ball home from close range after 62 minutes and Sam Wood added a third two minutes later. More shocking defending from Exeter led to the fourth goal as the Grecians failed to clear their lines and Charlie McDonald rolled the ball into the corner from 15 yards. Cureton headed in Richard Logan's cross for Exeter to make it 4-2, while Kevin O'Connor and Myles Weston missed late penalties for the Bees, which were saved by Paul Jones. Tisdale said: "It was very disappointing and we didn't deserve to win with our defending. "We had a very wishy-washy first 10 minutes and then gave away some very soft goals. As much as we created an abundance of opportunities going forward again, we defended poorly and we didn't deserve to win."
