Steve Bloomer's Washing

The Rams’ patchy season continues with a win, draw and, predictably, another 3-0 defeat in London in their last three games. Wayne Rooney’s unveiling against QPR failed to mask a lacklustre display, and Derby’s woeful away record continued at Fulham. Which injured first-teamer are we missing most? Are we a midtable side, or a good…… Continue reading SBW 69: Win, Roos or Draw

After 276 games, 42 goals and an historic hattrick… comes one podcast interview. Rams hero Craig Bryson joined us on SBW to look back on his eight years at Pride Park – from his early career and ‘owing everything to Nigel Clough’, to play-off heartache, Forest hattricks, a fall-out with Steve McClaren, and a new…… Continue reading SBW Meets: Craig Bryson

Yet more travel sickness sees Phillip Cocu lose his first league East Midlands derby, as the Rams are beaten at The City Ground.

Another London away day, another catastrophic performance. Richard, Anton and Ryan unpick the mess that was Charlton 3 Derby 0, and ask if the warning signs are there that the Rams are in for a midtable campaign…(or worse?). There are some of your hilarious ‘five word reviews’, and Richard once again disgraces himself at Guess…… Continue reading SBW 65: Capital punishment

Derby’s small but nonetheless important unbeaten run continues with seven points in (just over) seven days, thanks to consecutive morale-boosting home wins. Chris and Richard are joined by SBW debutant Ryan Burton to look back on the Rams’ last two league fixtures. Questions we attempt to tackle include: Should Jayden Bogle play further forward? How…… Continue reading SBW 64: Barnsley & Luton

In a month where a minority of Derby’s squad dominated the headlines and took a sledgehammer to the club’s reputation, you could be forgiven for allowing our unbeaten September to go unnoticed. The Tuesday Club, or ‘SeshGate’ as it’s also been labelled, gave Derby County its darkest episode since the ‘Three Amigos’ got their hands…… Continue reading September review: Draws, disgrace… and dodgy keeping
