Manager Richard Money has said that Andy Druy's two yellow cards were harsh considering Hayes and Yeading United's players committed fouls but weren't punished during their 1-1 draw.
The Luton Town midfielder scored the equaliser on the hour after the part timers had taken the lead through Bradley Pritchard's lob six minutes earlier.
The former Stevenage winger was then farcically booked for pointing out to the referee that a Hayes wall, set up for a free kick, was not the full ten yards away. He walked the distance to find it was only eight yards away but was cautioned.
Then in added time he fouled Jamie Mulley to be shown a second yellow. Money said: "He was making a point to the referee that they were not ten yards away. Why the referee books him, I do not know.
"He's then tried to recover a situation for us and he's a little bit late but, again, why he has to give him a second yellow card, I do not know, especially when a number of their defenders have made foul after foul away all afternoon and not picked up a yellow.
"Sometimes people get booked for an accumulation of fouls. I can count numerous occasions when (Matthew) Barnes-Homer, (Danny) Crow or (Kevin) Gallen ended up on the floor and the referee has given a free kick. So I would suggest that their two central defenders have made quite a number of fouls and not picked up a yellow, which amazes me really."
After losing their first game of the season on Saturday 3-1 at Tamworth, the manager was delighted with his team's response, despite failing to find a winner.
There was a clear penalty shout late in the second half when Adam Bygrave handled Gallen's shot and then another appeal from Adam Murray's follow up.
"I thought it was a really good effort by the players" he said. "You can do no more than keep banging on the door. One of them must have been a penalty, surely?
"To be fair to them, they've thrown their body in front of shots and got blocks in, but I thought everybody should be proud of the players' efforts.
"We've kept trying to play football in the way we want to play and carved out numerous opportunities but didn't take a good percentage of them.
"Everyone knows football is about creating chances. Then you've got to take those chances. We've carved out some really good openings and whether through poor finishing, good saves from the goalkeeper or a do-or-die block from a defender we could have come away comfortable winners. We haven't and, in the end, it was just as important not to lose.
"We've picked up another point and we'll go again Saturday."
United had their chances in the game and keeper Mark Tyler had to produce a string of fine saves before Pritchard scored a sublime opener.
"It was a good finish," said Money. "He didn't have much room to put it under the bar and over the goalkeeper, but sometimes you have to say, 'fair play, good finish.'
"But we picked ourselves up and scored pretty quickly and, as I've said, from there on it we peppered the goal but couldn't get the win.
"I said before we started this six game period our objective was to get as many points on the board as we could and get ourselves off to a good start, which I think we've done. The last three games, in terms of results, have not been what we wanted to utilise the group and get everybody good playing time - we've done that.
"We can now have a couple of days break. The players have earned it and need to recharge their batteries. It's difficult for me to explain to people how tough it is to go through six games in 16 days.
"It's not just the physical, it's the mental. It's impossible to recover energy levels in the way that you want them to. Now we've got a break to recover and go again with the next block of fixtures.
"The players need a couple of days of, there's no doubt about that. When you play football in the way we are trying to it means you dominate possession, you’re on the ball and everyone is trying to make angles to open up the opposition. That means they're all playing at a good intensity.
"The other way to play football is to bash from back to front, don't lose shape, win second balls, hoof it in the box and see what happens from that. It's not what I'm about or what this football club is about.
"We'll continue to keep moving the ball properly and try to create proper openings. I think we've done that more than enough this afternoon to have won the game.
"We as a group put no significance in whether it's Hayes at home or York at home, Tamworth away or Grimsby away. We know that, whoever we play, they cannot work any harder than they already do.
"We've played six games and I would suggest they've been six cup finals. I don't think that the other teams experience that, if I'm honest. They'll get spells where it is a little bit less intense because the opposition is not at them as much as they are against us.
"We know that and live with it, but it has been a very tough schedule for us.
"Grimsby away will not be any harder than Tamworth away. It's really about us. As long as we keep playing the way we are then we'll be fine."
The Luton boss also thanked fans for their reaction to him following his post match outburst some of Town's travelling support on Saturday.
He subsequently apologised through an official statement on the club's website and reiterated his remorse after the draw against Hayes.
"I thought the reaction from the fans was fantastic and I thank them for that," he said. "I was a little bit concerned over night in terms of how people would feel over the weekend. It was inexcusable and I've already said that. It is something that I'll look back on and regret.
"We can't move backwards and get the time back, you have to move on. I'm very grateful that the supporters were fully behind the team, and I think behind me today. Again, I hope that they feel that their team have played well enough to win a game of football and it's another point on the board."
