Steve Bloomer's Washing

Hey everyone, Our latest episode is out now! Almost there! After a record-breaking 13th away win of the season, Paul Warne's Derby County are just a single point away from returning to the Championship at the second time of asking. Chris and Cutch are joined by Chris Smith (@cspaceram) review a bruising, battling, nerve-shredding 1-0 win at Cambridge, before attention turns to the possible Pride Park promotion party at the weekend, at home to Carlisle. The SBW panel also rejoice at the news that Puma will be returning at Derby's new kit supplier... and we all have a laugh at Forest following their social media antics this weekend.

Hey all - we've got a new 'At The Match' pod out now, recorded live from the SW Corner at Fortress Pride Park. Chris, Cutch and Anton journey to Pride Park for what could have been a nervy home encounter against Leyton Orient, but which turned out as a stress-free afternoon, thanks to a Sonny Bradley brace which saw the Rams easy 3-0 winners.

That’s the spirit! 👊 Here’s a clip from the pod, with Cutch’s thoughts on the inspirational Ebou Adams:

Hey all, our latest SBW podcast is out now, after a slight delay (blame the school holidays...) After catching their breath, Chris and Anton are joined by a soggy Richard Cutcher, fresh from his trip to the south coast, where Derby gained a valuable point - and avoided defeat - in the crucial top two clash at Portsmouth. We analyse the main talking points (including the fox on the pitch), and ask if Pompey was the game where Corey Blackett-Taylor finally arrived as a Ram. There's yet more praise for Ebou Adams and his incredible mental fortitude to play whilst fasting for Ramadan, another inevitable mention for the fantastic Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, and our latest attempt at wondering how many more points Derby need to secure promotion.

Agreed - seems a very ‘glass half full’ guy and has confidence in his own ability, but not in an annoying, cocky way.

Hey everyone - a bumper SBW podcast week as we've got another (mini) episode also out now. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6TJdnHd9UxPTD5NfupYBIm?si=uP-JobNmRNuKEsWPrK8Xjw In our latest DCFC interview released exclusively in full to SBW Patrons, Richard and Chris spend 40 minutes in the company of the Rams' 'Brummie buffalo', Kane Wilson. Having established himself as a key part of Paul Warne's squad - not least with the winning goal against Bolton Wanderers this month - the 24-year-old told us how at home he feels at Pride Park, and his career ambitions. We also discuss: - The squad's reaction to the Northampton defeat and how Warne has encouraged the team to bounce back. - His distinctive playing style and whether he thinks dribbling is a 'lost art'. - Being 'the buffalo' in the Rams dressing room - His thoughts on Warne's management style and why he gets on so well with 'the gaffer'. - His message to Rams fans ahead of the six crucial remaining league games. I can honestly say, without any agenda, that KW was a very genuine, top bloke, who just loves football (especially dribbing and nutmegs...!).

Hey all, our latest podcast is out now: With the chance to go seven points clear of third place in League One going begging, Chris, Tom and Phil look back on a sorry afternoon at Sixfield, where Derby slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Northampton Town. We analyse the sitters missed, Sonny Bradley's red mist, and the latest possible addition to the injury list. Are Warne's methods leading to more muscle strains, or is it just coincidence and bad luck? We also definitely answer the top Rams talking point from the past week... do beans belong on a fry-up plate or in a separate pot?

Hey all, our new podcast is out now - recorded in real time at Pride Park on matchday v Bolton. Join Chris and Cutch as they make a nervy trip up to Pride Park for the massive promotion showdown with Bolton Wanderers. A win would take Derby four points clear of 3rd place in League One, while defeat would pull the Rams back into the playoff mix. Recorded in real time from the stands, our latest 'At The Match' podcast is an emotional journey through a tense and stressful encounter which ultimately ended in relief thanks to Kane Wilson's second half headed winner.

To add to this to anyone who's listened, we did a bit 'Players you wish had never been injured', and after mentioning Branko Strupar, we discovered he 'had a heart attack on the pitch' last year and was in a bad way. Anyhoo, I messaged him and thought I'd pass on that he's better now and still loves the mighty Rams.

Evening all - some fresh DCFC podcast listening out now to round off a great Derby weekend. An amazing 12th away win of the campaign sees Derby County regain 2nd spot in League One, having briefly dropped to 3rd during the week. Chris and Phil Hile are joined by SBW Ultimate Patron Peter Bond to look back on the impressive, satisfying 3-0 away win at Bristol Rovers, the instant impact and evergreen quality of Dwight Gayle, and whether the Rams can squeak automatic promotion without beating another top two rival. There's also a shocking revelation about Branko Strupar, ponderings on who we'd have supported if the club went bust, a Jungle Book-based comparison from Phil for Richie Barker, and our guesses on how many points equate to automatic promotion.

Ebou Adams counts double.

Hey all - latest from us is out now: With none of the top three winning and Derby going down 2-1 at Oakwell, is it now a four horse race for automatic promotion from League One with Barnsley eyeing a late dash? Richard Cutcher, Tom Martin and Anton Martin assess Derby's defeat against the Tykes, their wider form against the top eight and compare the run-ins of our promotion rivals in a bid to make sense of a topsy-turvy race for the Championship. The lads also debate Derby's striker options with Dwight Gayle, Martyn Waghorn and Corey Blackett-Taylor all hopefully fit for roles against Charlton on Tuesday, and whether Paul Warne needs to go back to a 4-4-3.

Yes, I do love Stevie Wonder. Guilty as charged.... Anyway - we've got a new podcast out! Derby County's promotion bus continues to motor as the Rams maintain their grip on 2nd place thanks to a convincing win away at Exeter City. Chris Parsons, Richard Cutcher and Phil Hile look back on a ruthless performance on the road, and hail the impact of loanee midfield dynamo Ebou Adams. We also discuss the recent BBC Radio Derby interview with CEO Stephen Pearce, wonder who'd be awarded Player of the Year right now, and talk blue cards.

Hey all - we've got a bonus, mini pod out this week - the latest in our 'At The Match' series, recorded directly from the away end. Join Richard Cutcher, Tom Martin and Anton Martin on another away day as Warne's Rams travel to south-east London in search of a tenth league away win of the campaign. Derby have had mixed fortunes at Charlton in recent years, but with new boys Corey Blackett-Taylor and Ebou Adams having boosted the Rams' ranks in January, there are hopes of another three points on the road which would keep Derby in touch with the automatic promotion race in League One. Recorded throughout the day and directly in the away at The Valley, this is our audio adventure and highlights from a gritty, hard-fought 1-0 victory, courtesy of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's first half strike. Cheers! Chris
