Davies plays down defeat

Derby County boss Billy Davies was keeping a cool head after seeing his side slip to a 1-0 defeat at promotion rivals Birmingham City.
A Rowan Vine strike right on half-time gave the Blues the points, as the Rams struggled to keep up with the pace in their third game in a week.
Davies commented: "Playing our third game in the space of seven days was always a big concern for us.
"The game could have gone either way, but with Birmingham getting that goal just 15 seconds before half-time, that was always going to be crucial.
"Losing at Birmingham was not a disaster. Our form has been excellent.
"What it means is that we now have to capitalise upon our remaining nine games."
