With it only being pre-season, the result was never likely to be significant and there is no doub that the former England international will face much bigger challenges ahead.
Indeed, his side were ahead inside two minutes on Saturday as young attacking midfielder Luke Thomas opened the scoring with a left-footed effort.
Thomas then doubled his and Derby's tally for the day before the break, before Mason Bennett go in on the act just before the hour mark.
Kane Hemmings breached the Derby rearguard to pull one back shortly after that, but any hopes of a comeback were quashed as Tom Huddlestone powered home from long range late on.
Whilst the game was broken up by the nine changes made by Lampard at the break, there were certainly things to be optimistic about for the County fans.
