February 28, 2022 SBW 128: Posh, Lions & Hatters
The games are running out for Derby County in their improbably quest to avoid relegation, and disheartening defeats against Millwall and Luton havn't helped the Rams' survival cause.
Chris, RIchard and Tom are joined by pod newbie Jimmy McLoughlin to assess Derby's last three performances, with one fundamental question in mind - will we stay up? We've also got 'Your Shout' on whether listeners think Derby will pull off the miracle. (Spoiler: 'No')
Alongside the analysis of Luton, Millwall and Peterborough, there's discussion on Derby's latest defensive starlet, Eiran Cashin. Have we been pleasantly surprised by his emergence into the first team and his apparently composure in slotting into the back line?
Inevitably, there's some more takeover chat - with a make-or-break week approaching, could some positives preferred bidder news kickstart Derby's survival bid... or, conversely, will securing our long term future hamper the Rams' 'siege mentality' in Mission Impossible?
Also in Episode 128, we pass on some helpful pointers on maintaining your mental health during Derby County's crisis season, courtesy of wellbeing expert (and Rams fan) Matt Reed.

February 14, 2022 SBW 127: Lost in the Smog
Is the nightmare finally coming to an end? A key breakthrough off the pitch means Derby County may survive beyond the season - and the Rams are still hanging in there on the pitch too. Chris, Richard and Anton look back on a damaging, but not dispiriting defeat at Middlesbrough, assess Festy Ebosele's game and how he may need to adapt as one of the Championship's quickest players, and wonder - what is the magic points total which would see Derby County survive?

January 31, 2022 SBW 126: Bielik's beautiful bicycle
Onward Krystian's soldiers! As a truly spectacular finish sees Derby rescue a 2-2 draw with Birmingham in the dying seconds, Chris, Richard, Tom and guest podder James Windle assess Bielik's fairytale return* (injury pending), the raw emotion of the pre-match march to Pride Park and where next as the Rams enter the endgame of their existential death spiral.
Is February 2022 the most important month in the club's history? How do fellow Rams feel about the possibility of Derby ceasing to exist... and what's it like recording a podcast in the back of Richard's Tesla? It's all in this episode.

January 24, 2022 My Matchday: Colin Gibson (Patreon taster)
* Patreon taster episode! Sign up below to hear the full 40-minute interview *
www.patreon.com/stevebloomerswashing
As a Radio Derby broadcaster for nearly 30 years and Derby County employee from 2013 until last year, few have been closer to the club than Colin Gibson. A man whose voice is synonymous with the Rams, Colin kindly gave us his time to reflect on his eight years at the club, how it felt losing job at Pride Park due to Derby's administration in September, and his candid opinions on working behind the scenes and with Mel Morris.
Colin also told Chris about the Rams manager he had the best rapport with, the ones who were trickier in post-match interviews, his dismay at the club's current financial plight, and plenty more. An open and frank conversation with a man who bleeds black and white.

January 17, 2022 SBW 125: Defiance and Pride
In another emotionally draining week which leaves Derby County again staring into the abyss, Wayne Rooney's players responded the only way they know how - with buckets of commitment, energy and defiance. Richard, Tom and Anton react to the superb 2-0 win over Sheffield United, featuring two of the best goals ever seen at Pride Park.
There is, of course, also analysis of the latest off-field body blows which see the Rams' administration and EFL interference threatening the club's very existence. Is it now Mike Ashley to the rescue for our 'crisis club'? How many of Derby's young stars will be sacrificed in upcoming 'fire sale'. and who would we be most upset to see leave?

December 31, 2021 SBW 124: Anything is possible
What a way to end 2021! As Rams fans are given a glimmer of hope thanks to three consecutive wins to end the year, Chris and Richard are joined by Ollie Wright (Derby County Blog) to revel in the victories which see Derby cross the psychological barrier of double figures.
There's praise for the returning CKR ('He's back!'), much-needed contributions from Ravel Morrison and Kamil Jozwiak, and general admiration for the fight shown from Wayne Rooney's players in the face of ultimate adversity. Is survival now an actual possibility... and would it constitute the one of the greatest achievements in English football?
Chris, Richard and Ollie also assess Chris Kirchner stepping away as a potential owner of the club, and the 'naked opportunism' of compensation claims by Middlesbrough and Wycombe's owners.

December 23, 2021 SBW 123: Year in Review
As Derby fans look back on one of the most eventful and tumultuous years in the club's history, the SBW team digest a frankly absurd 12 months for the Rams.
Chris and Richard are joined by BBC Radio Derby's Chris Coles as we relive the most dramatic moments of 2021 for Derby - *that* survival Saturday in May, the failed takeovers, and of course the bombshell administration announcement in late September.

November 30, 2021 SBW 122: Hoops Hoodoo
Two excellent results against the best teams in the Championship give Derby fans a glimmer of hope... before QPR spoil the positivity party with a late winner at Pride Park, as that gap to safety just keeps getting bigger.
Chris, Tom and Anton sigh in disbelief at more points dropped from winning positions and kick themselves for having survival hope in the first place, as we also analyse the wonderful first team emergence of Liam Thompson into the Derby County midfield.
Wayne Rooney has also just marked a year in charge of Derby, so we take 'Your Shouts' on the boss's best and worst moments in his first 12 months in as Rams boss.

November 20, 2021 SBW 121: Quantuma Questions
Chris spoke at length to Quantuma CEO Carl Jackson to get an update on Derby County's administration process and the quest to find new buyers for the club.
In their first non-club interview since Derby's -21 points deduction was confirmed, we discussed a number of key issues with the administrators, including how Derby's process has been compared to other companies they deal with (2:06), which interested party is furthest along in the takeover process (9:06), how likely it is that Derby may have to sell players in January (14:55), and how they feel about fans' fears of the club being liquidated (18:48).

November 10, 2021 SBW 120: Lions & Tykes
Can the Rams now pull off the increasingly improbable and beat relegation? After losing to second bottom Barnsley, Derby looked doomed - but a spirited 1-1 draw at Millwall continues to give fans hope.
Chris, Richard and Tom look back on an eventful day at The Den, wonder where Festy Ebosele can do the most damage, and assess what's gone wrong with the Rams previously impressive defensive record.
We also reveal our November Patreon exclusive - an interview with Derby all-time great Igor Stimac, as he recalls his four glorious years at Pride Park.
