Lampard, whose County side are sitting six points behind West Brom in seventh spot, said: “I was shocked, [with them] being fourth in the table.“From the outside it certainly seems harsh.“I went up against Darren earlier in the season, we won the game and played particularly well – one of our best games – but he was an absolute gentleman.“What he did at the back end of last season meant he certainly deserved the job.

“From the outside you think surely he would have had an opportunity to see out the season but I was at Chelsea when Ancelotti got sacked for coming second, Conte was sacked last season, and we don’t know what the remits behind the scenes are.“But for sure Darren will be feeling it is harsh and I wish him the best going forward because he certainly is a very talented coach.”
