Only Derby County could squeeze their best AND worst result of the season into four days, and that's exactly what Phillip Cocu's Jekyll & Hyde Rams have done. Chris, Richard and Anton salute the spectacular four-goal shoeing of Stoke City, before asking what on earth went wrong earlier in the same week against Luton Town.

There's also your five-word reviews of Rooney's first month, our analysis of the January transfer window (it doesn't take long), and another attempt at Goal of the Month (oops).

A truly woeful FA Cup tie against Northampton Town sees the Rams needing a replay to secure a fifth round spot... but they're still in the hat. Chris, Tom and Anton pick the bones out of an uninspiring display against their League Two opposition, and also look back on the home win over Hull City.

There's also some inevitable discussion of Derby's EFL charge over FFP. a preview of the Rams' trip to Luton, Goal of the Month, and a tribute to the departing George Thorne.

The new year sees Derby County still unbeaten (enjoy it while it lasts!), as Crystal Palace are dispatched in the FA Cup before Duane Holmes' late volley snatches an unlikely point on Teeside. How long can the Rams continue their undefeated stretch in 2020? Penalties, Rooney, VAR, Deon Burton (!), transfer rumours and loads more are all discussed in our latest pod.

We were also joined on the phone once again by Daily Telegraph Midlands football reporter John Percy, who filled us in on the latest loan links with the Rams, gave us his take on FFP, the rumoured new investment, and how he's found covering Mr Rooney since his arrival.

Derby start the new year as they ended the last - with a 2-1 home win easing unrest around Pride Park. How influential was Wayne Rooney after his long-awaited debut for the Rams against Barnsley?

With an FA Cup tie away at Crystal Palace next, we're also joined by Eagles fan Alan Burrows, who filled us in on their season so far, players to watch and how seriously they'll take the competition.

The Steve Bloomer’s Washing boys take a break from contemporary Derby County developments to pay tribute to the most successful manager of their lifetime - the late Jim Smith.

The Bald Eagle took charge of the Rams in the summer of 1995, leading an entertaining Derby side to automatic promotion in his first season.

He took charge of four full seasons in the Premier League, taking the Rams to the brink of Europe with plenty of memorable signings and results along the way.

Chris, Cutch and Tom discuss what made Jim Smith such a unique character, debate his best signings and compose their Bald Eagle Derby XI.
