Jewell's side took the lead before losing 3-1 at Fratton Park

Derby County boss Paul Jewell accepts his side are as good as relegated and says he would love to fast forward to the start of next season.

The Rams are 13 points adrift of safety with 15 games remaining following the 3-1 defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday.

Jewell said: "If you keep saying the same things you know the players are not or cannot take it onboard.

"I'm getting bored of it and I really am frustrated because you want the season to end now and start again."
