Derby County suffered defeat to Nottingham Forest last night at the City Ground.

Manager Frank Lampard was disappointed after the game, and must pick his players up for the game against Aston Villa at the weekend.

Lampard was keen to remind everybody that Derby are above both Forest and Villa in the table.

He told Rams TV after last night’s loss, looking ahead to the weekend: “It’s another tough game. They’ll all be similar to today.

“A good team, fighting below us, they remain below us, as do Nottingham Forest remain below us, that’s a fact.

“So we need to go and fight there, and try and turn this little corner, of the last few games.”

Derby are in seventh place in the table, with Forest in eighth.

Villa are a little further back in 11th.

Recent defeats have seen Derby lose momentum with their play-off push, and whoever finishes higher out of them, Forest and Derby could end up counting for nothing other than bragging rights at the end of the season.
