Steve Bloomer's Washing

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!

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'.

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....

It's over! After 285 days in administration, the Rams finally enter a new era as David Clowes' successful takeover is confirmed. A jubilant SBW panel of Chris Parsons, Tom Martin, Jamie Page (@DerbyRetweets) and the Derby Telegraph's Leigh Curtis celebrate the long-awaited news and discuss the club's future under their 'reluctant saviour' new owner.

Is the job of permanent manager now Liam Rosenior's to lose? And what's the general mood ahead of the League One season, now our long term future has been secured?

The Rams' new chapter will begin with a new manager - how will Wayne Rooney's stint in charge be remembered? There's also analysis on the rumoured incomings, including Connor Hourihane and James Chester... and the SBW panel have a few choice words for a certain Mr Kirchner.

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.

We fought to the end... but it wasn't enough. As Derby's relegation to League One is confirmed, Richard and Tom tell Chris about the emotional scenes from the away end at QPR on Easter Monday, as we look forward to a (hopefully) brighter future.

Will Wayne Rooney stay for the long-term Rams 'project'? We assess how Derby's manager has changed in tone, confidence and appearance since first signing as a player in August 2019. From 'Rooney the marquee signing' to 'Rooney the firefighter', will Wayne fancy the challenge of rebuilding in League One?

There's also your Five Word Reviews on Derby facing third tier football... along with some not-at-all patronising trivia about some League One grounds we'll be visiting in 2022/23.

Progress! A mightily relieved Chris and Richard are joined by Jimmy McLoughlin as Quantuma finally announce Chris Kirchner as their preferred bidder to take Derby County out of administration.

With Kirchner being very public on his plans for the Rams, Chris, Richard and Jimmy analyse our prospective new owner's social media Q&A, in which he addressed funding, personnel, points deductions and recruitment for Derby County.

There's also analysis of yet another disappointing away day, with Chris recounting his trip to Swansea, as the Rams are beaten for the 8th consecutive league game on the road. Why are Derby losing the fight they showed away at the turn of the year... and is there still a glimmer of light that relegation can be avoided?

As Ravel Morrison's late scissor-kick keeps the Rams' faint survival hopes alive for another week, Chris, Richard and Tom heap praise on Derby's mercurial Jamaican.

There's more analysis of the chaotic 1-0 win over Preston which keeps Derby six points from safety with six games to play, as well as chat on Max Bird's red card, along with the small matter of Derby City Council possibly buying Pride Park from Mel Morris to help progress in the Rams' administration nightmare.

With the Championship season entering 'The Business End', Derby's survival still hangs in the balance. Nine games to go and five points from safety, can The Greatest Escape still be achieved? Chris and Tom are joined by Ollie Wright (@derbycountyblog) to look back on the essential victory over Barnsley, followed by the somewhat inevitable defeat to Bournemouth.

We focus on Ravel Morrison - 'a breath of fresh air' according to Rooney and Derby's match-winner in their last home game, as well as the departure of Kamil Jozwiak - a player who failed to deliver, or thrown into impossible circumstances during the pandemic?

There's discussion too on the last nine games - and if Derby are to earn the 15-18 points needed to stay up, where do the wins come from?
