WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…

Speaking to RamsTV, Lampard said: “We have a big game coming up at the weekend and if we win we will be three points off the play-offs, no matter what happens elsewhere.

“We have to concentrate on what we can do, and I know what this squad can do, and I am very positive going into the weekend.

“Bolton are in a tough position and lets no shy away from it, it is a game that we really, really want to win.

Bolton Wanderes 1-0 Derby County

The only goal of the game came in the 10th minute when Craig Noone met Will Buckley’s cross at the far post.
