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.

I've been looking forward to this - I'll have a listen soon.  Keep up the great work.

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.

Course we'll do it!

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.

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?
 

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.

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...!).

The full version (32 minutes) of this interview is exclusive to the SBW Patreon - you can hear it by signing up for a free seven day trial, whilst supporting us on SBW and allowing us to do more stuff like this, here: www.patreon.com/stevebloomerswashing

Hey all, our new podcast is out now - recorded in real time at Pride Park on matchday v Bolton.

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.
