Derby have insisted they will stick to their long-term plan following more protests against the club's owners.

In a repeat of the scenes that followed the Rams' home defeat by Ipswich two weeks ago, supporters stayed behind after Saturday's loss to Leicester at Pride Park and chanted 'sack the board'.

The Championship outfit have failed to secure a win in their last six league encounters, and fans are angry because they feel the owners should be investing more in the squad.

But the club have responded by saying they believe their strategy gives Derby the "best chance of a stable and successful future".

Frustrations

"We acknowledge the frustration and anger of some of the supporters," said a club spokesman.

"We understand they want to see the team and the club performing better. We know they are expressing these frustrations because they care passionately about Derby County.

"The best way to make everybody feel better is to win more matches. The supporters want to see a winning team and it is our job to give them one. We have a clear plan how we are going to run the club, we believe in this plan and we are sticking to it.

"We believe this plan gives Derby County the best chance of a stable and successful future even if we are currently experiencing some short-term pain.

"The ownership group remains committed to this club and will not deviate from the strategy which has put this club on a sound financial footing for the first time in decades."

The Rams, who finished 14th last season, are currently 17th in the table and sit seven points clear of the relegation zone
