SBW 162: Wigan Wake-Up Call

Steve Bloomer's Washing

Chris and Blake are joined by Chris Smith as Derby's 23/24 season opener ends with disappointment in a home defeat to Wigan Athletic. The SBW panel discuss the errors which undermined the Rams' intense pressing, why the defeat 'wasn't catastrophic', and positives on show from debutants.

There's also discussion on the likely arrival of more firepower - which one of Jordan Rhodes, Martyn Waghorn or Michael Smith would add the most to the current Derby line-up... and which one is most likely to sign? We also lament the possible exit of Max Bird - can the Rams justify selling one of their prized academy assets and mainstays in the midfield?

We also talk about the heartwarming Korean Lee, the Rams-obsessed South Korean student who had the time of his life in the East Midlands this weekend on his first ever trip to the UK.
