Carrick Rangers manager Stephen Baxter said his side have to "move forward" after their 7-0 loss against Glentoran at Taylors Avenue.
Pat Hoban netted six goals in 52 minutes to give the away side a sizeable lead before Liam Burt added a seventh.

It was an afternoon to forget for Carrick with defender Reece Glendinning dismissed for a high challenge on Jordan Jenkins after 30 minutes.
"Glentoran were better than us by some difference and we were well below par," Baxter told BBC Sport NI.
"Credit to Glentoran for some very good play and some very good finishes from Hoban and it was one of those days that got away from us.
"It is not something that I am going to lose any sleep over. Whether it was 4-0, 6-0 or 10-0, it is what it is, and we have lost the game. Players have to get over it quickly and move forward."
Baxter's side are now without a win in nine league games and sit 11th in the Premiership table.

As well as now being without the suspended Glendinning, Ryan Waide looks set to join Carrick's lengthy injury list after he had to be replaced 10 minutes into the game.
"In terms of where we are personal wise, we need to see fit bodies coming back and we need to bring one or two more in for what is ahead of us over the next 16 weeks," Baxter continued.
"We have one goalkeeper at the minute. Nathan Gartside looks like he will be out for quite a number of weeks with this thigh injury he picked up against Crusaders.
"Lots of things go on around you and the sending off doesn't help you and, for me, it was never a sending off."
