Derby County midfielder Robbie Savage says the Rams must use Tuesday's home match against Swansea to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Doncaster.

Savage put Derby ahead just after half-time on Friday but goals from Paul Heffernan and Mark Wilson sealed the South Yorkshire club's win.

Savage told BBC Radio Derby: "We're all desperately disappointed. The manager had a right go at us and rightly so.

"Three-and-a-half thousand travelling fans deserve better than that."

Savage added: "We just didn't grind it out. We were 1-0 up away from home - even if we'd come away one-all it's a good point and keeps the unbeaten run going.

"[Tuesday's] game can't come quickly enough for me."

Derby are seven points clear of the relegation zone in 16th place.
