Derby boss Billy Davies refuses to panic, despite Saturday's 6-0 reverse at Liverpool.
He said: "I am very confident that in time we will get it right in this division. But I am a realist, I know the position we are in when we play a team like Liverpool.
"The result disappointed me. To show such a lack of discipline and care is very disappointing. We made silly mistakes and some of my players are not brave enough.
"That cost us dearly, one or two of them are freezing at this level. They are standing and admiring top class players and letting them play."
