Steve Bloomer's Washing

With the chance to go seven points clear of third place in League One going begging, Chris, Tom and Phil look back on a sorry afternoon at Sixfield, where Derby slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Northampton Town. We analyse the sitters missed, Sonny Bradley's red mist, and the latest possible addition to the injury list. Are Warne's methods leading to more muscle strains, or is it just coincidence and bad luck?

There's also analysis of our promotion rivals' run-ins, points predictions for Easter, and we definitely answer the top Rams talking point from the past week... do beans belong on a fry-up plate or in a separate pot?

Join Chris and Cutch as they make a nervy trip up to Pride Park for the massive promotion showdown with Bolton Wanderers. A win would take Derby four points clear of 3rd place in League One, while defeat would pull the Rams back into the playoff mix.

Recorded in real time from the stands, our latest 'At The Match' podcast is an emotional journey through a tense and stressful encounter which ultimately ended in relief thanks to Kane Wilson's second half headed winner.

With none of the top three winning and Derby going down 2-1 at Oakwell, is it now a four horse race for automatic promotion from League One with Barnsley eyeing a late dash?

The lads also debate Derby's striker options with Dwight Gayle, Martyn Waghorn and Corey Blackett-Taylor all hopefully fit for roles against Charlton on Tuesday, and whether Paul Warne needs to go back to a 4-3-3.

Join Richard Cutcher, Tom Martin and Anton Martin on another away day as Warne's Rams travel to south-east London in search of a tenth league away win of the campaign.

Derby have had mixed fortunes at Charlton in recent years, but with new boys Corey Blackett-Taylor and Ebou Adams having boosted the Rams' ranks in January, there are hopes of another three points on the road which would keep Derby in touch with the automatic promotion race in League One.

Derby returned to winning ways at the weekend (just), but questions still remain over the Rams' consistency, aggression, and desire as the League One promotion slog continues. Richard and Anton are joined by Match of the Day commentator and avid Rams fan Martin Fisher, who returns to the pod to talk life in the gantry, as well as his thoughts on the Cheltenham win, jeering Conor Hourihane, and booing the team off at half time.

There's also discussion on Derby's new arrival, midfield Ebou Adams on loan from Cardiff City. Is he the midfield 'ratter' Warne needs in the middle, or just another underwhelming body in the building...?

The Rams opt to concentrate on the league in early 2024 after a disappointing 1-0 home exit in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy to Bradford City... but how important was it as a competition anyway? Chris and Tom are joined by Chris Smith to look back on a 'brutal' Pride Park defeat, assess Joe Ward's deficiencies as a right back, and wonder if Derby have the squad depth to go the distance in the League One promotion race.
