Stockport fans go viral giving it large to Wrexham fans during 5-0 thrashing

Stockport County fans go viral with a video showing them giving it large to Wrexham fans during the hosts’ 5-0 thrashing on Saturday.

Majority within Edgeley Park belted out a number of chants mocking the Welsh outfit, while others took to taunting the scoreline to those in the away end.

Wrexham were humbled by last season’s beaten playoff finalists Stockport, who hammered Phil Parkinson’s side to move a point off the top seven.

Isaac Olaofe netted a hat-trick, with Louie Barry and Paddy Madden also on target to move Stockport up to 9th in the League Two table, with 14 points from 9 games played, and one point behind Wrexham, who sit in the last playoff place.

Isaac Olaofe’s hat-trick ended Wrexham’s seven-match unbeaten run in League Two.

Elliot Lee twice going close for the visitors before County went ahead against the run of play as Olaofe scored from Will Collar’s cross.

Olaofe put the ball past Mark Howard to make it 2-0 and two minutes later, Louie Barry was there to make it three after a strong run.

Olaofe completed his hat-trick in the 50th minute, then Paddy Madden came off the bench to make it 5-0 late on.

Speaking after the game, Parkinson said: “It’s as bad of a first-half that I can remember us playing in terms of all the fundamentals in football. So many times we gave the ball away in the back third and middle third and put ourselves under pressure, our selection of pass and weight of the pass, we put ourselves under so much pressure today. Coming away to Stockport, it’s about getting a platform in a game, start properly, do the right things in the right areas of the pitch and build a performance. Today we were sloppy in everything we did and we’ve got to take our medicine.

“We’ve done okay on the road so far this season but they were just a yard quicker, a yard sharper all over the pitch. We had so many performances today which were so far below par and it’s kind of difficult to explain that. I need to look at that, the reasons for that. They were sharper, they were quicker than us, they put us under pressure, and when you come away from home, you’ve got to make sure in the early part of the game that we make the right decisions on the ball and there were so many times that we tried floaty balls in our own half to give them the opportunity to press us and put us under pressure, and played the ball backwards too many times. When it came to the back third, we didn’t defend our box anywhere near well enough and we’ve got punished.”

Asked about going in at half-time 3-0 down, Parkinson added: “We had a chat at half-time about what we felt we needed to do better and then we’ve conceded a goal which obviously, 4-0 away from home is always going to be tough. We then had a period where we’ve had chances, we hit the bar, we tried to create something but to be fair to them, they defended really well and made it difficult and protected the goal. Then we’ve conceded a fifth which is just too soft because if you’re getting beat 4-0 away from home, make sure you don’t get beat 5-0 and make it any worse and you stand strong as a team. It’s as disappointing, that goal, even though the game is over at that point, as any of the others.”
