Swans ill luck continued when a game they brought forward was ruined by the dreadful weather. Their inability to defend set pieces was again their downfall, conceding two goals from corners and one following a free kick.
Swans took the lead in the 14th minute when a superb through ball by Arden Ujkah found Nans Owusu who slipped the ball past the Harrow ‘keeper and slammed it home.
Harrow equalised straight away with a controversial goal, Swans players claiming handball.
The away side scored a second in the 29th minute from a corner.
Swans drew level in the37th minute when Stan Flaherty cut in from the right and hit a swerving shot which beat the keeper all ends up.
On the stroke of half time Harrow retook the lead from another corner.
Harrow made it 2-4 in the 62nd minute when Tula Dickinson parried a free kick and it was knocked in.
Six minutes from time Swans pulled a goal back when Eddie Simon knocked home a corner.
With time almost up Swans equalised with a tremendous shot from Owusu.

1. Great idea to play it Thursday but there has to be extra bar staff to cope
2. Despite the wind you have to defend set pieces
3. With the wind you have to take great set pieces
4. It’s still not quite over with our attacking prowess

If I was a Harrow fan I am thinking we just dropped 2 points……not a night for structured short ball football…this was more about character and desire and for a long time W&H where second
Absolutely asleep at the wheel defending setbpieces….ball control was really difficult and yet Harrow won nearly all of the knock downs ….second third and fourth goal were mistakes from setbpieces and as pointed out been an Achilles heel all season…in reply the inability to put home setbpieces into danger areas was not good
Good finish for Waltons second and fourth goals and an atypical Simon goal…..but the urgency played with in the last 8-10 minutes really should have been there the whole second half…so that makes the playoffs a bit more difficult to achieve ….all credit to Harrow they did one hell of a job getting a result tonight

Scoot spot on in his interview-yet again so frustrating not to win ! Yes the wind didn't favour our style of play -our defenders are good technical players but so many times lack the physicality to deal with high balls into the box resulting in giving away soft goals! We are good enough to beat anyone in this league but we consistently shoot ourselves in the foot Need to win last 5 games to reach play offs which is unrealistic -also goal difference not in our favour.

I think perhaps we could have done with Hicksy in the first half to deal with those crosses. But the issue from my view wasn’t that they were bigger and stronger than us it’s more the freakish nature of that wind it made it almost impossible to judge where it was going. Harrow didn’t deal with it much better in the second half, we just didn’t try and use it like Harrow did as being frank it’s all they had as I’m sorry but they are a poor side. They played the percentages and 9/10 times all those crosses are cleared on another day no problem. I know we have conceded from set pieces a number of times but I don’t think any side last night would have done much different. The wind just took the ball away from you in the air or ground

The wind just took the ball away from you in the air or ground Those conditions last night are the worst you could ever see ,the continual time wasting from the Harrow team and the refferees inability to punish foul play ,on harows twitter they moaned about ot getting penalty near the end but nothing honest about there cheating throught the 90 plus minutes, the tremendous turnout off 802 who came out and saw a hard fought contest in appalling conditions ,plenty of good football and mistakes from both set off defences but not surprising, hope the weathers better for Mondays trip to afc Toton and Hendon and those who have good days and 2 wins for swans ,its been another great season and whatever happens more good and more positives and memories to look back on ,2 home 3 away to come , |
