Derby counting on another fightback
Frank Lam par dis hoping Derby’s powers of recover y will be evident once more against Leeds in tonight’s Sky B et Championship play- off semi-final at Elland Road.
The Rams need to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg if they are to keep alive their promotion dream.
On six occasions this season Derby have come from behind to win league games, including away at champions Norwich in December.
Lampard’s side also fought back to knock out Manchester
United and Southampton in cup competitions, winning on penalties each time.
“This year we have been a team, more so than pretty much any team, who have come back from behind and turned a negative result around into a positive one,” said the Derby manager, pictured. “I have faith and I have belief and those results are good for that. So tap into it, yes, but they mean nothing on Wednesday night.
“We don’t have to go crazy in a game where we’re 1- 0 down at half-time. I want the players to apply themselves exactly as they have been doing, because I have no complaints on that front.”
