Steve Bloomer's Washing

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

Hey everyone, our latest episode out now (slightly later than planned due to childcare issues I had... but it did mean we could react to the Adams signing)....
 
Derby returned to winning ways at the weekend (just), but questions still remain over the Rams' consistency, aggression, and desire as the League One promotion slog continues. Richard and Anton are joined by Match of the Day commentator and avid Rams fan Martin Fisher, who returns to the pod to talk life in the gantry, as well as his thoughts on the Cheltenham win, jeering Conor Hourihane, and booing the team off at half time.
There's also discussion on Derby's new arrival, midfield Ebou Adams on loan from Cardiff City. Is he the midfield 'ratter' Warne needs in the middle, or just another underwhelming body in the building...?

Hey all, our new podcast is out now - a return of the 'Roundtable' format we did in pre-season. Something a bit different which hopefully gives you some perspective on Derby's promotion rivals:
 
With the League One season now past the half way point, Richard caught up with pod panelists from our promotion rivals, including two guests who'd also given us their predictions back in pre-season. We speak to Bolton fan James Jarvis, from the Lion of Vienna Suite podcast, Jake Smith, Pompey fan and radio presenter on Portsmouth's Express FM, and Dan Wheldon, from 'The Yellow Block' Peterborough United podcast.

Our League One top four panel reveal their team's weaknesses, where they're looking to strengthen in January... and who they all think will gain automatic promotion. 



Cheers!
Chris

Hey all, our new podcast is out now:

The Rams opt to concentrate on the league in early 2024 after a disappointing 1-0 home exit in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy to Bradford City... but how important was it as a competition anyway? Chris and Tom are joined by Chris Smith to look back on a 'brutal' Pride Park defeat, assess Joe Ward's deficiencies as a right back, and wonder if Derby have the squad depth to go the distance in the League One promotion race.

It's January, so there's the inevitable discussion about Max Bird's future, along with welcome reaction to NML's new 2-year contract extension. Plus, Jesse Lingard 'offers himself to Barcelona': Discuss.

Thanks! Chris

Hey all, our penultimate podcast of 2023 is out now....
 
The Rams' penultimate game of 2023 sees a seventh win in eight league games, as Wigan are edged out at the DW. Chris is joined by Ollie Wright (@derbycountyblog) to assess the latest impressive result on the road - including a stressful last 20 minutes, before pondering the future or Eiran Cashin and heralding the new contract of superb fullback Ryan Nyambe.

Ollie also tells Chris about the inspiration for his latest book, 'Coming Home', based on personal reflections of Derby's recent administration period, and we both wonder whether any team in the existence of football will 'beat' Derby's 11 point Premier League record. Happy Christmas!

Hey all, our new podcast is out now:
 
Fiiiiive goooold wins! Chris, Tom and Phil look back on a superb 3-0 away win at Leyton Orient which made it 13 scored and just one conceded in our last five, as Derby hit their traditional December purple patch. Phil also shares his incredible experience of watching the Orient game from the balcony of a rented AirBnB, complete with funny looks and the odd bit of abuse from the locals.

The panel also give some serious chat on the Rams' Christmas fancy dress effort, before winding up the pod with the long-awaited (by noone) return of 'Win, Lose or Schnoor'.

Hey everyone - our latest Derby County podcast is out now, off the back of FOUR STRAIGHT WINS!

https://traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG4391086538.mp3?updated=1701379178
 
The temperatures are getting chilly... but Warne's Rams are starting to cook! Chris, Anton and Phil look back on back to back wins which extended Derby's winning streak to four in League One, sending Paul Warne's side into the top six for the first time this season.

There's welcome praise - and a possible new chant - for first touch goalscoring hero Tyreece John-Jules, along with analysis of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and his fantastic form... are we becoming too reliant on NML to win games?

The SBW panel also look at the state of the division, with Derby sat in the same position but 4 points better off than this time last year. With the general consensus that League One is weaker in 23/24, do Derby have a greater chance of getting promoted?

Plus, Phil expains his AirBnB set-up for his upcoming trip to Leyton Orient.
