Hey all

Our latest Patreon podcast is an exclusive in-depth technical chat with Curtis Davies on the art of being a central defender. We spoke at length with Curtis on subjects such as:

- Playing direct vs playing from the back and why Derby will continue to try to play out
- On being 'the Bonucci and Chiellini of the Championship' with Phil Jagielka and why the partnership has worked (so far)
- Switching defensive partners, playing three at the back, and the lines of communication with goalkeepers
- The 'nightmare' 'unplayable' strikers he's faced in his career... and which striker was best at 'the dark arts'.
- What's next for him - playing for Derby in League One, signing a new deal, his plans for the future.

As mentioned, this one is a Patreon exclusive, and you can sign up here:

For signing up, you can also claim a free drink and snack on us via Derby Brewing Co, win prizes in our private Fantasy Football game, and also have access to our previous Patreon specials.

Cheers!
Chris

As the post-points deduction era begins for Derby, Chris, Tom and Anton look back on a positive four points picked up from home games against Reading and Swansea which saw the Rams climb out of a negative points total.
With both Kelle Roos and Ryan Allsop showing encouraging form between the sticks, who should keep the No.1 shirt for the Rams? Have Derby been slightly fortunate to go unbeaten (so far) at home this season?
We're also joined by Paul Harris, Managing Director of Derby Brewing Company, to talk to us about their initiative of creating a Derby County beer to raise funds for the club - and how fans can get involved.

Just to update everyone on what's happening next with this idea....

We had Paul Harris from DBC on our most recent podcast last night (out later this week), who's explained that they're going to try to whittle down all the suggestions (approximately 300....!) to a shortlist of around 4, and then we're going to put these out for a vote and take it from there.

Hey all. We recorded an emergency podcast in the wake of Friday's news, and it's out now:

In a podcast we never thought we'd do, Chris, Richard and Tom react to the devastating news that Derby County are entering administration and will plummet to the bottom of the Championship following a 12 point deduction. How terminal will the situation become for our proud club, an institution of English football, and where do we go from here?
THE STATEMENT: Our emotions from Friday night, and how close we believe Derby currently are to liquidation. MEL MORRIS: How did a self-proclaimed 'lifelong fan' allow this to happen? We assess how a local businessman worth hundreds of millions took Derby County to the brink. STOKE: We won a game...! Amidst the chaos, Derby actually earned a rare three points. How has our relationship with the club and matchday changed now that results are basically irrelevant this season? To summarise one of our closing lines from this episode:

As long as there's a Derby County to talk about, we'll talk about it. Whether it's League One, League Two, or a pheonix club at the bottom of the pyramid. We're Derby now, and we always will be.
 
 

Hmm, that was odd. It normally comes through quite quickly.

It's here, anyway:
Thanks for flagging!
