Don't know where to start with this one: Shockingly poor officiating, strange team selection, rugged physical opposition, two red cards for Swans, an own goal and a penalty that only the ref knew what for.
On the stroke of half time, just like last week, a free kick to the opposition led to a goal, this time an own goal!
Swans equalised in the 69th minute with a fine piece of football, Johl Powell finishing a lovely move from a tight angle on the right.
In the 84th minute Hanwell were awarded a very mysterious penalty which they scored.

Hanwell play a shocking brand of dreadful long ball hopeful tactic combined with frankly blatant cheating and diving to win free kicks to pump into the box. The ref bought it every single time and was a disgrace. Helped by equally useless linesman. The swans were superb today I have to say and lacked some luck to be honest. Hanwell are the worst team I have ever had the misfortune to watch and would be embarrassed to support them. Cheating from front to back the entire game

There are plenty of teams that play a similar brand of football in this league. Take, for instance, Beaconsfield last week. They barely had a shot at goal but scored twice from free kicks pumped into the box: effective!

Got nothing against Hanwell’s football but their diving and the utterly appalling performance from the referee just should not be able to happen. Not one person in that ground knows how it was a penalty and then how when their guy lay on the floor and handled the ball it was a free kick to them. Pathetic

And these clubs will remain with small support bases and limited ambition just existing season by season drifting nowhere. Appreciate they play to strengths but this is a team that the coach has recruited and instructed to play in that way and it’s just awful. If we had more luck today around the box and a little more ruthless and cutting edge there style would have failed. Playing that way only paid off today because of a Terrible ref and pure luck. They absolutely stole the points today and didn’t deserve anything. I have seen other teams park the bus and defend reputedly- Plymouth, Salisbury, Beaconsfield to name but a few but they also cheated constantly and dived all over the place to purely spoil the game and win free kicks to lump in the box. Who the Flip wants to watch that shower of shit. If not this season then next please lest them get relegated

I watch this from almost 4000 miles away via live stream……thought W&H engineered their own downfall….had some great opportunities in first half hour to put this away….inability to finish and constant waste of possession meant the only beamish became a half time deficit …I don’t know all players but #19;needs a new job because football isn’t going to be it…maybe Uber eats…both wide players lacked passing skills and constantly turned ball over
Second half way too slow too methodical and everyone started to have same problems….Hanwell dropped deeper and deeper and Walton did not have players to break them down…good equalizer but so many wasted chanc to be comfortably ahead …how many corners or free kicks were wasted without a ball ever going into box
Yep baffled by penalty…live stream plays no replays so on first watch saw nothing…until then thought the ref had done ok but last 20-25 he lost it game almost deteriorated into barnyard brawl…….did think Walton should have had a penalty and Lino bottled it after flagging for foul…sending offs should have been from both teams ….
Team has gone backwards on skill and speed though that may be confidence based …at least 2 or 3 of this team were out of their depth today early season squad seemed much better balanced
Crowd looked decent again but that own goal seemed to take steam out of game and by time Walton responded it was too late …very much 3 points given away

I disagree that we were too slow, we also kept the ball for the most part well and as the game progressed we cut through them time and again. On another we would have rightly won easily by four or five.
There was no point swinging in cross after cross against a huge side that would win everything in the air. I liked the variation with short corners and low drilled crosses.

Personally, I feel there is a nieviity in our play. To see and read about how the other teams recently played were crap but beat us shows it’s us not them we should be looking at but us. We break slowly allowing less talented team to have 11 players behind the ball and then difficult to break down. We can’t keep moaning about the opposition style of play because the last 2 less talented teams took the points. Thought Josh Tobin was outstanding today.

How can you break on a team that have no intention of getting forward and lumping it long? You would all moan if we kept hitting it forward long and giving it away.
We play a patient style that is designed to break down team and we did. We have a lot to look forward to and thankful we get to watch a side trying to play great football and the rewards will come. If we had of scored in the first half when we had a flurry of chances we would have battered them. If they had showed ambition because they were loosing we would have had a lot more space. Trust what’s being coached here and built and we will come good.

We’ve had a few games now where we have had the possession or dominated the game and yet loose. We have to learn/adjust rather than go blindly on. Having said that this is just our first season at this very good level so work in progress. Look at the quality of players we have from a couple of seasons ago and growing crowds and a buzz on match days. What was the attendance yesterday.

I would not be surprised if the club gets into some trouble over the protests about the penalty decision.
For the first time I can remember the club has not posted the highlights overnight.
I think tempers ran high because it was an important game and losing greatly reduces our play off hopes. We had chances and should have scored more. We also made it difficult for ourselves with a horrible own goal. Unfortunately we did not look at all comfortable against those extraordinary long throws.

It would be interesting to see that penalty decision. From where we were standing, it looked like the guy went down with no one near him and also the way he went down looked like a poor performance in a third rate amateur dramatics play.
Although we should have taken our chances and finsihed the game off in the first half, we were without a doubt cheated in this one. The ref was useless and the linesman clueless!

If that’s a penalty then there should have been multiple pens for both sides. Even look at our own goal we were being fouled and held

Just watched highlights-on another day could have won that comfortably-a combination of bad luck & a bizarre penalty decision! Things not going in our favour last 3 games, but as Scott said in his interview I'm sure iit will turn!

I hope there players have recovered from there serious injuries on Saturday the way they went down and that abysmal linesman on stand side coudnt waite to get involved ,Hanwell players pathetic behaviour total embarrassment to non league football glad we don't play them again ,but unfortunately other clubs in these league are equally pathetic in there behaviour, the swans fans behaved well considering what they had to put up with ,Scott sent of for kicking ball against fence and pj booked and sent off for behing honest ,and anis booked for obviously annoyed by us us not getting obvious penalty, a day to forget ,and another crowd of 500 plus ,
