Embarrassed is not the word.

Stockport suffered their worst loss of the season last night away at Grimsby as they lost 7-0 to the team they previously beat 2-0 earlier on this season.

Stockport team was as follows: Halstead, Holden, O`Donnell, Halls, Bounab, McCann, Rowe, Blackburn, Cole, German and Gritton.

Stockport held out at 0-0 for only 18 minutes and from then on in the goals poured in, with the first goal scored by Coulson in the 18th minute, following this Hearn made it 2-0 in the 22nd minute with the first of his three goals. In the 31st minute County old boy Elding made it 3-0 before emphatically celebrating in front of the travelling 68 fans. In the 35th minute Green made it 4-0 and to top it off on the stroke of half time Grimsby were 5-0 up through the efforts of Hearn for his second goal of the evening.

In the second half things didn`t go any better with the thought of a comeback beyond the imagination as Hearn completed his hat-trick upon thee 58th minute and to rub salt into the wounds I ‘Anson made it 7-0 in the 64th minute.

The game saw The Hatters have 38% of the possession and only 1 shot on target and this did not trouble the keeper.

Following the result The Hatters find themselves in 21st place which means that we are now certainly in a relegation battle, with the current form topping up to go down upon last seasons table. With 23 games played County have only managed to find 19 points and have a goal advantage of -15.

The best thing to take from the game is to hope that on load goalkeeper Halstead is sent back to Blackpool after telling the away supporters to ‘f**k off` twice throughout the game. At the end of the game Jim send the players over to clap the fans in which only Andy Halls and Daniel O`Donnell did so passionately with Danny kissing his badge. But in all fairness does the commitment to the club matter after a 7-0 hammering?

I will leave you with this question… Can things get any worse?
