Huddersfield secured a play-off place following a thumping victory over relegated Stockport.
Ex-County player Anthony Pilkington put the visitors in front after two minutes before Theo Robinson netted his 15th goal of the season in the 38th minute.
The visitors added a third in the 68th minute through Jordan Rhodes before Danny Drinkwater added a fourth with five minutes remaining.
Gary Roberts and substitute Lee Novak completed the rout in injury time.
Stockport boss Gary Ablett told BBC Radio Manchester:
"We set our stall out and prepared for the last three days of what we're going to do.
"But you concede two goals like we do then it's always going to be an uphill struggle from there.
"We've said the same thing after every game for 4-6 weeks now and it's not had the desired effect.
"The players don't seem to be able to motivate themselves or each other and certainly the staff you would say have failed to motivate them as we haven't had a level of performance that's been acceptable."
Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:
"I thought we did very well and the lads were very professional in their approach to this game and that showed.
"We done our jobs very well and the players became very ruthless in the second half when the game opened up.
"You can't ask for more than a clean sheet and six goals away from home, there was a bit of pressure on us to win this game and the players coped with it."
