Steve Bloomer's Washing

The SBW gang are finally reunited in person to reflect on Derby County's rollercoaster 2019/20 campaign. In a season which was arguably more dramatic off the pitch than on it, Chris, Tom, Richard and Anton analyse whether Phillip Cocu has improved the Rams since last summer, as well as awarding our own Player of the Season and Favourite Goals.

There's also reaction to the latest developments in Derby's charge from the EFL, a fond farewell to Chris Martin, and our obligatory quiz round at the end of the pod. Thanks for listening this season and we'll see you in 20/21!

The Rams' late playoff push is left dead in the water after consecutive defeats to promotion-chasing Brentford and Cardiff. Chris, Richard and Tom assess the losses which ended Derby's season, and look at potential candidates for Player of the Year. There's also the inevitable discussion about next season's goalkeeper, following tough seasons for Kelle Roos and Ben Hamer.

After another emotional week for Derby County, Cutch, Tom and Anton reflect on Phillip Cocu's Rams making it five wins on the bounce with a resolute away victory against fellow play-off chasing Preston.

They pay tribute to Andre Wisdom and the Derby County fanbase for responding so quickly in raising almost £6,000 (link below) for a flag for Andre, and two charities of his choice.

As sensational Sibley steals the show in Derby's first game back since football's restart, SBW hails the Rams' teenage wonderkid whose hattrick helped see off Millwall at The Den. Chris, Richard and Anton ask if it's now OK to get *very* excited by the dazzling attacking midfielder, as Derby just about keep within touching distance of the playoffs.

There's also your Five Word Reviews, credit paid to Craig Forsyth, and a (quite short) round of Where Ram I.

In the first of a two-part interview, SBW sat down with former Rams player, coach and manager, Steve McClaren, for a full and frank account of his two spells in charge since 2013. McClaren came closer than any recent Derby boss to Premier League promotion, only to fail in devastating, dramatic circumstances.

McClaren gave us his honest view on the 'brave, committed' nearly men of 2013/14, what went wrong the following season... and how his second spell in charge quickly turned sour in 2017.
