Rams not giving up in relegation fight - Zetterstrom
- Published
Goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom says Derby County have what it takes to avoid relegation despite sinking further into the Championship drop zone over the weekend.
Saturday's last-gasp defeat by Millwall, combined with other results going against Derby, sees them second from bottom in the table and four points from safety.
Josh Coburn scored the only goal of the game at Pride Park in the 95th minute, having had a penalty saved by Zetterstrom just minutes earlier.
"We are very disappointed," the Swedish goalkeeper told BBC Radio Derby. "But I definitely believe that if we look at the bigger picture of what we did today and what we have done throughout the week, I'm very sure we can find strength in this."
The defeat was Derby's ninth in an 11-game winless league run dating back to late December and their second loss in as many games under John Eustace since his appointment earlier this month.
Despite the woeful run of form, Zetterstrom says Derby are capable of getting out of trouble with 12 games remaining.
"There are so many games left to play and we are fighters, not victims," he said.
"There is so much talent in that room and so much belief in what we can do that there is no point just giving up."
