DERBY County's players were back on the training ground yesterday despite the winter weather.

Heavy snow on Saturday evening forced the postponement of Sunday's Championship clash against rivals Nottingham Forest at Pride Park.

Now the Rams are preparing for a game at Millwall this weekend and the players were put through their paces at a snow-covered Moor Farm.

"We couldn't do anything, obviously, on Sunday and we couldn't do anything on Monday, so it was good for the lads to get back training," said manager Nigel Clough.

"It's hard work running on the snow.

"We had a good 45-minute game and there was still some good stuff played, even on the snow.

"A few of the players are not comfortable on the surface indoors because of ankle and knee niggles, so we enjoyed a good session outdoors, although some of the lads need to practise their snowballing skills!"

Recalling his own playing days, Clough said: "We used to play games in the snow, never mind train!

"Seeing the recent game between Birmingham and Southampton with the snow coming down was a bit of a throwback."
