League
Slough’s proud six-month unbeaten away league run came to a painful end on Tuesday night.
After eight wins and four draws on tour since the reverse at Windsor in September, the Rebels crashed to a defeat as emphatic as the score suggests.
Manager Alan Davies had nothing to say in defence of his beaten troops after the thrashing against the league's in-form side.
Harrow notched up their eighth successive win after being gifted two goals in 90 seconds and Davies said: "They started as if they wanted to win more than us. There were two bad goals from our point of view and after that, we weren't in the game. “You look for excuses, there isn't any It was just bad all round. The players know it and I know it. It's no good getting geed up against a team at the top of the table, we've got to do it every week."
Kenny Wilson was still feeling the effects of a twisted ankle sustained at Wycombe and Petty and Waites got through treatment on Monday night to complete a side showing only one change.
But their performance in the first 20 minutes, in fact the whole game, was the exact opposite of the abundance of energy and effort shown at Loakes Park.
First Woodcraft failed to clear his lines and Bobby Dell played a neat one-two with Holmes and slotted in a well taken close-range shot past Bunting in in the 12th minute.
And within 90 seconds, Slough were two down. This time Jacobs lost out and Dell was in oceans of space to nod in a second.
Tony Knight, the Rebel's most consistent player over the last three months, seemed more concerned with having a kick at his old colleagues for a spell and this hardly helped an already desperate cause.
Petty set up Brown for the visitors' shot in the 21st minute, but Mackenzie acrobatically turned his well-struck shot over the bar. Harrow were almost always first to the ball and Jacobs needed to clear off the line from Morris.
To rub salt in their wounds vehement penalty appeals by Slough for handball were turned down in a one-sided first 45 minutes.
The Rebels marginally improved in the second half, but Mackenzie was equal to their best-and only clear cut effort when White shot goalwards on the hour.
Bunting thwarted Kerr, but was beaten again in the 63rd minute when Lawrence Holmes deflected in a header from Morris after Slough's marking at a corner had been poor once again.
Their misery was complete. in the final minute when sub Matthew Loddy beat Jacobs to Dell's free-kick and finished with alacrity.
The Rebels still haven't won an Isthmian, Vauxhall Opel League game at Boro.
