FORFAR boss Jim Moffat was in a state of shock after his rock bottom side sunk to yet another defeat.
Scott Dalziel stole the points for battling Stenhousemuir after Steven Kerrigan had given the home side hope, cancelling out John Dillon's early strike.
Moffat said: "I can't believe we've lost again. I'm happy with our second half performance but I feel like I should be enjoining a victory tonight not suffering another defeat."
Dillon gave Stenny the lead in 20 minutes with a superb free-kick.
Kerrigan hauled Forfar level eight minutes into the second half with a close-range header from Chris Anton's free-kick. But Stenny hit back immediately to secure the points when Dalziel (right) headed in Dillon's corner in 56 minutes.
Visiting boss John Coughlin said: "I didn't think we played well at all.
"The players may think the so-called smaller teams are easier but they have to approach all games the same way."
