Steve Bloomer's Washing

After an annoyingly long wait, Derby finally have an away goal(s), and an assured 2-0 win over Cambridge to go with it. Chris, Richard, and Tom herald the arrival of 'Warne Ball' by assessing how the Rams got to grips with the new gaffer's style impressively early, James Collins' match-winning brace, and a composed clean sheet for Derby's new-look back three.
There's also analysis of Warne's team shape, the new manager's leadership style and personality... and the welcome return of 'Win, Lose or Schnoor'.
 

 

Hey all, our emergency pod is out now:

Here we go again...! Just 12 games into the season, and the Rams are welcoming their 11th new manager in nine years, as Paul Warne leaves Rotherham United to take over at Pride Park. Chris and Richard are joined by Ollie Wright (Derby County Blog) to assess the credentials of the new gaffer, and discuss what's next for the demoted Liam Rosenior.
How will Derby cope with the contrast in playing styles going from possession, passing football to Warne's more direct approach? How much do we really know about the Rams' new boss? And when on earth will we score a goal away from home? There's plenty to discuss in SBW 139.

Hey all, our latest SBW podcast is out now:
Goals goals goals! After firing blanks in their last two outings, the Rams smash six past West Brom, Peterborough and Grimsby to progress on all fronts in the league and cups. Sibley starred in two of those results, while Mendez-Laing continues to impress with more goals and assists. Dare Derby fans dream of a trip to Wembley or two at the end of the season?
We look at the latest Transfer Deadline Day and the importance of Max Bird and Jason Knight to Derby's future, discuss *that* glorious Didzy late winner against Posh... and disagree on the greatest Derby goal ever scored at Pride Park in 25 years.
There's also a taster of our latest Patreon bonus podcast - an interview with broadcaster and Match of the Day commentator Martin Fisher, who gave us great insight on his career and love for the Rams.

Hey everyone, our new podcast is out now:

Derby's early season form sees formidable performances at home, but forgettable ones away, with a third goalless outing on the road. Richard, Anton, and Jamie Page (@DerbyRetweets) assess what's causing the mini goal drought on our travels, when it will end, and whether another team really is 'in for a thrashing' any time soon.
There are also your 'Five Word Reviews', reaction to Liam Rosenior's assessment of the 0-0 draw at Fleetwood, and discussion on the blossoming Barkhuizen/Mendez-Laing partnership. Thanks for listening!

Hey all, new podcast out now:

The League One rollercoaster is in full swing as Derby edge their opener against Oxford before succumbing to Charlton after missing a shedload of chances. Chris, Tom and Anton analyse what went wrong at The Valley, why James Collins isn't scoring (yet), all those sitters, and acceptable points totals for August.
There's discussion too on Liam Rosenior, new boy Lewis Dobbin, and Anton's intriguingly-titled quiz, 'Before or After'.

Hey, we're back for the 22/23 season! Our new podcast is out now....

As the Rams prepare for life in League One, Chris, Richard, Tom and Anton ready themselves for the new Derby County era... and a whole new team. We assess the new signings (well, most of them), pick our best XI based on Derby's current squad, and agree that patience will be needed in the gruelling first few weeks as Rosenior's new-look squad try to gel and play catch-up.
Which of the new boys are we most excited about, and is promotion a realistic target for Derby this season? There's plenty to get our teeth into in our season preview....

Good to hear about another Ram in the capital!

Yep, the Stage Door is the place to be for televised Derby games. The London Branch have a relationship with the owners and they always make sure to have our games on. It's a 5-10 min walk from Waterloo/Waterloo East.

Here's a flavour from last season:
The Branch also organise travel to/from games from London (often at a discount).

Hey all, our last regular podcast of 2021/22 is out now:
The 2021/22 campaign comes to a close with an anticlimactic 1-0 home defeat to Cardiff City in front of a grateful, emotional Pride Park crowd... but Derby's future continues to be the elephant in the room as takeover talks stall.
Chris, Richard and Anton take to the pub after full time to discuss Derby's final game, the possible exodus of players in the summer, and the slightly horrifying thought of the Rams having to groundshare in the 2022/23 campaign. We're also joined by some of our fantastic Patrons to look back on their standout moments of the season, and Rams Player of the Year.

Hey everyone

We've got a new Patreon episode out now - reliving the glorious 3-2 Man Utd win from '97, which turns 25 years old this week....
https://www.patreon.com/stevebloomerswashing
 
And there's also our regular podcast, which may/may not be ever so slightly out of date as we recorded it on Monday night.

Still, there's some great chat about Ravel Morrison's scissorkick... and George Clooney.
 
 

Here's Quantuma's statement issued this morning. Nothing significant, to be honest.
