Derby County suffered a narrow loss away to Bolton at the weekend.
Derby County manager Frank Lampard has explained he is fed up of the inconsistency in his side’s results after they lost away to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
The Rams were beaten on the road 1-0, as Craig Noone scored the only goal of the game in the 10th minute.
Derby’s setback came fresh off the back of beating Brentford in the league and knocking Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in midweek.
The East Midlands club are still trying to find their way under the new manager and are having to deal with plenty of obstacles along the way.
They are now ninth in the league table following the latest defeat, but only four points behind new leaders West Brom in a close-knit table.
Lampard revealed his frustration in his post-match interview and is desperate for them to be consistent.
“The beauty of the Championship is to move on quickly, but I am a bit fed up of saying that because if we want to be as successful as we want to be we can’t go up and go down and win some and lose some,” Lampard told Rams TV.
“We have to get some consistency, keep saying it, it’s up to the players to do it. We got too many basics wrong today [against Rotherham].”
Derby’s season is beginning to take shape 10 games into the league season, winning five and losing four of them.
They look like a team that are going to be pushing for the play-offs and certainly have the individual talent to compete with anyone in the division, but need to try pick up points on the road in difficult opponents.
