England travel to Tallinn for a game they must win to get their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign back on track.
Lampard, who was booed by some fans in the 1-1 draw with Brazil on Friday, wants no repeat of the abuse they received away to Andorra in March.
He said: “It’s not helpful to the team. It’s a bit upsetting but you have to be big enough to take that.”
The players and coach Steve McClaren came in for fierce criticism from angry fans as they struggled to see off minnows Andorra in Barcelona.
Lampard was absent from the line-up for that game but returned for the friendly with Brazil on Friday.

“It’s part of playing for England,” said the 28-year-old, who has scored just once in his last 14 England appearances.
“A year ago I had just won their player of the year two times on the spin. That’s how English football is.
