  • Hello and welcome to the Darby County Show.

  • We've reached the second international break of the season, and there's always there's plenty to talk about.

  • Former Rams Kevin Wilson on DSHEA Nicholson are with us to do just that.

  • Here's what's coming up on the show.

  • Well back home.

  • Saturday's win over lieutenant Dark, exciting, off for a fortnight with a win and a clean sheet of pride part.

  • We shut down with multi white cord to reflect on the season so far on with Darby.

  • Five games on bait, and we'll discuss what's changed since the last time the great good jetted off on international lots of football to talk about.

  • And suddenly Darby, one of the form teams the division Shane couple results, makes it'll feel better.

  • It does.

  • Yeah, it was a result that was needed, but I think the performance level had to improve from the bonds again, which I feel it felt it did do.

  • It's an awful are people that probably disagree, but I felt the performance levels were better.

  • I think, as a team we looked a little bit more assured, don't look his nerve and that's problems to do with everything.

  • What's been going on for a football club.

  • I think as a whole cloud hanging over us for the bonds of game is good.

  • To get that out of the way on, Officer, come to the loot in game and get the three points.

  • Results do change everything.

  • Cava.

  • Obviously, performances were important, but you see Darby's five since the last international break.

  • Their results points on the board.

  • Change things?

  • Yeah, it does.

  • That's the most important thing.

  • You know.

  • It's all about gaining them.

  • Points three wouldn't get three points, and and sometimes it's not how you play because just winning gangs.

  • This breeds confidence within the camp on dhe.

  • Certainly, you know, you can see from the last five results.

  • You know they're moving in the right direction again.

  • We'll look at some of the big moments from the last few weeks as the show goes on.

  • But I wanted to focus on Saturday in the victory over looted, which compared to events on and off the picture recently, Shane was actually quite quite a calm afternoon by Darby standards.

  • It was Yeah, it was made even better to see Pilot this sort of game.

  • Yeah, you know, But it was, I think, a lot of pressure on the place.

  • But they're certainly Tom.

  • I have to stay out of trouble.

  • Yeah, I'm surprised to see Tom Lawrence out there if I'm completely honest, but you know, he did what he does way.

  • Always.

  • We knew the fact that he was out there going to be on the headlight is gonna be headlining it wasn't it with a goal that he got, So I was pleased for him in that respect.

  • I was pleased for the team, the securities.

  • I think Patterson's coming as well.

  • I think he's on your exceptional in the last three or four games he's needed just a runner games and has shown is now that whenever it's coming, it's play against.

  • It has always been a thorn in our side and we was waiting to see if he's been getting 10 or 15 minutes, not really at the time to impress.

  • But now he's got that shirt and got run and got the stars.

  • He's showing us what what a player is.

  • Caviar, a goal scorer and you worked so hard for goals in football when you get a gift like the one that Darby were given on Saturday.

  • That must give everybody such a left to go keeping error.

  • It's what you need sometimes when you need to turn the corner, you know, because you get so many times in this season when things don't run your way.

  • But everything went dark because y you know, I think Tom Lawrence is.

  • It was across.

  • It was in the shop, But you think it's a goalkeeper is?

  • I think so, Yeah, I think there's two goalkeeping goalkeeping errors, and they could have been quite easily stopped.

  • But Darby Road Road look when strikers took over top of government, his name at the minute took it over the top of the bar from 45 yards out.

  • And all of a sudden it could have been a different game.

  • But freak points and looking upwards.

  • Now, rather than looking down with Tom Lawrence in the headlines for the right reasons and whether you agree or disagree, whether or not he should be the site of chain he's got on, the pitcher's got a goal that's helped me win the game.

  • Sometimes can the field be a sanctuary for someone if you've got a lot going off off the picture matter what it is it can.

  • Just getting out there playing football cannot be a bit of a relief for me.

  • I completely agree.

  • It's a great point because I mentioned student before that.

  • I've been in Thomas position on for me, the football pitch was kind of escapism for me.

  • So whatever was going on outside my life, being put onto the pitch was an escape.

  • So irrespective of what was what bees, I'll probably get to it didn't matter.

  • My escapism was to go on the pitch because I struggled to deal with things off the picture until I got things.

  • I got helping, got things sorted out.

  • So I understand why.

  • Why Tom's on the you know.

  • But you know, his level of performance is now.

  • I've been raised again.

  • I think the teams have any needs to keep from there and I can as a golf score, Cavill know a goal.

  • I got to go.

  • But now I think I scored one against Chelsea, where it came up the back side influence.

  • So, you know, I don't know.

  • You know, you just got keep getting in that in that six shop six yard box and gambling and keep believing that you're going to school.

  • You won't have to look at Chris Martin.

  • The goals that he's got since he's come back, they've all been in the 18 yard box, everything they've been on one on one and two took finishes, and we used to talk about Jack marry at last year.

  • Chris Martin is a natural goalscorer if you give them opportunities and it's great to see him back.

  • Also, it's good to see Bogle back.

  • We'll come back to Chris Martin a little bit later.

  • I wanted to talk about Graham.

  • Shelly, who was a revelation.

  • Shane against Luke, had to wait for his opportunity.

  • Played in the Cup games, hadn't yet play for Darby in the league.

  • And I love the story that he ends up making his debut against his brother as well, who was playing solution.

  • But he was exactly what Darby needed.

  • Yeah, I mean, they have the urgency about his plate into you was snapping in the tackle.

  • It was breaking things off.

  • Andi didn't complicate his game, you know, I never liked trying to afford an awful lot, but you know, when I was playing up north.

  • But but here I just thought he broke things off and then gave it to a creative players and let them get on with the job.

  • I think it was industrious.

  • Everything about his game was good.

  • It really wasn't the first officer exceptional.

  • The second office was a little bit more offensive, but because it needed to be sorry defensive because it needed to be.

  • But but yeah, is that what you're his chances?

  • You have to wait a long time.

  • But you know, hopefully he's done enough not to keep your shirt and he was physical and he put a couple of, you know, strong challenges, tasty tackles, that sort of thing that gets fans on their feet and really get support on board.

  • I think I think this is what I've been missing in the field.

  • Combative player who can get it, break the game, give the board to players who couldn't get on it.

  • But in Scotland has got a good record getting forward as well.

  • So certainly for May.

  • A great opportunity for it now in this performance and you know we'll be looking forward again like you know, it was a bit surprised you never started that start the season.

  • But you know the opportunity is there.

  • No, there's nothing like a good tackle as well, is it?

  • To get the crowd of, you know, this is which is Ah, yeah, you know, for whatever reason, it shows that the crowd that the players care with the old care, but that's one of his strengths within his game is to get citing people within the ball and quite clearly that it did it very, very clearly and fairly as well.

  • I don't think you get many free kicks about with the challenges that was putting in, So so you're excellent for Darby.

  • Fans expect that.

  • That's one thing that Darby fans like they like people that compete and chasing Harry and get the foot in on DIT does.

  • You know what?

  • That once that happens, the atmosphere lifts on, Dhe starts driving people on.

  • Incredibly, he wasn't in the championship two of the week, but Darby did have a couple of plays that we're, um I want to search out a couple of individuals as well.

  • You mentioned Jalen Bogle already.

  • I think he was showing already how much he was missed when he was out of the side of injury count.

  • Oh, he's a plot is going to be a player.

  • He's gonna He's gonna play in the Premiership.

  • Hopefully it be with Darby, But he's certainly one of these.

  • I think he gets forward.

  • Well, I think he's defending now.

  • Is improving because Israel strength is getting forward.

  • But in the modern day game, China, you need that because it is about your wide player.

  • You know, your fullbacks giving you the Whitford time.

  • I mean, that was a brilliant bullets here.

  • Fantastic is an outlet for, isn't it?

  • Is like is like a wide right player playing playing with a full.

  • But it really has got great technique on.

  • Did you know, I think last season you probably the most assists, you know?

  • So it was great to see him back.

  • You know, there's nothing.

  • Take nothing away from Maxwell when he was playing.

  • They're doing a difficult job quite easy.

  • Always come back when you're on your left foot in his favorite left foot.

  • But he gave us that buys.

  • Gene, Didn't you know you took it from Mary left Also have a left footer when that ball is coming in from that side.

  • It's very difficult for strikers to be ableto get across people.

  • It's easier when people get down the line and they're coming and able to tuck it in the from post or or across the fenders.

  • Goodwin for Darby the week Remember, let's say from a man who is more than played his part over recent weeks, Martin Michael has been talking to the Darby County sheriff.

  • Okay, we're being a bit inconsistent.

  • We obviously nor could have picked up more points along the way.

  • But towards in the last last few weeks of we're being could have could have been in about a situation.

  • But in the grand scheme of things in this league, it's all about putting one's together in them, not dropping points in Yeah, well, but I think we're 551 beaten and going into the briquettes to study, study well or run of pictures.

  • I want to focus on this most recent block of gangs because it is an achievement to go one.

  • Beating the Miss Division from one international break the next five games is a decent run.

  • Yeah, it is in a in comparison.

  • You look at the leader's old.

  • You're kind of fool that you've come with the point of that place and then the bonds on the flip side, you did support of the drawer there, so yeah, couldn't be in better.

  • But you've got look at the bigger picture.

  • And over the course of the season, these runs coming Hunde towards getting near to where you want to be.

  • A So, yeah, what could have been about, obviously what was one?

  • Improve.

  • Always wonder when games in them that's gotta look to do over the next course.

  • And ex pictures always think it's about moments scenes in turn on the old moment here and there.

  • Equalizer, it leaves how important you think that might be or is already know.

  • Yeah, it was massive him in terms of the run of pictures that will kill him off and talking about Mormons and stuff.

  • It was important that we did pick up from somewhere, listen well, far from good.

  • On that day, we were a bit off it in terms of hardball.

  • Players were pressing, retaining the board chances created, and sometimes you just get results like that.

  • I think Bonds, the kind of done it us at their place.

  • So it was one than fiction.

  • As we look back on a good Ellen Woods Christy Martin corn box going his goal, getting getting gored.

  • And then you look back and think it's a pretty good results, um, over the course of season and help him earn this little one and then you get the first home victory in dramatic fashion.

  • In the end, did you get a sense of relief?

  • Was their weight lifted when you got that?

  • Yeah, it is a massive relief, to be honest, especially after what was going on during the week.

  • It was important that we're went out there, work hard as a team short, short, togetherness.

  • And I thought we'd done that again.

  • It was not an easy game.

  • Made it hard for ourselves.

  • But do you think it was over when when you put the second?

  • Yeah, that was it.

  • But it just shows you how quickly this this leak and combine your back in them for collateral to make the save and for the go again get their goal.

  • It was massive, and it just short what we're all about.

  • Robin showed offline off the season.

  • Definitely, but and spells will create a very good stuff and the team not going forward, it's It's a level that when you know when he a player.

  • So it was a relief just to get the wind special to the weekend and it's also it's a catalyst that we know we can complete our total football.

  • Was there a conversation or maybe nothing needed to be said, But was there a sense we have to show that we're together here?

  • We have to show that we are united in that with behind the manager behind the club.

  • Yeah, definitely support.

  • Go out all week in terms of what we're going to do on Saturday.

  • So we're gonna go.

  • There were cards, stick by each other.

  • Whatever happens, we'll use the Drug Lords beer for that for each other.

  • And for the manager John Minutes, it was important for him for him first to go there showroom What we want to do that we want to be a hero, one of win games and we are a team going forward.

  • So they're just such a really fun menu.

  • Many, many ways and it's always always nice.

  • Toe was later than they never expected to get the first woman.

  • But it's done.

  • It's a stick coffin in order to get to your toe.

  • Back to back wins at home.

  • Five beating.

  • It's amazing how different feelings now feeling going into the last year, definitely going in the last Big almost needed the brick.

  • It wasn't forging a great set of fixtures or results, and it shows you how quickly the sleek and turn around and would do.

  • Now.

  • I wish that we could just keep playing games on come on thick and fast.

  • But you do need a break because the current, because going in there November December.

  • You know how busy the schedule gets.

  • So you take the breaker that comes.

  • It gives her a chance to reflect on what we could do about it.

  • I mean, I'm separators could have bean the Achilles heel for well over the course of the Games, but work on chance to the boys to have a break, get ready and go again.

  • It was good to hear from wagging his the championship table.

  • 11 games into the season West from and Northern Forest both have 22 points at the top, but There's just one win separating first tonight the likes of Preston Swans.

  • The leads on Fulham all in the mix to Darby just five points off the playoffs after Saturday's with bottom.

  • Finally, some signs of life Stoke, who appear to be sticking with Nathan Jones after that surprise victory over Swansea.

  • But Barnsley have already decided that they need to change the sacks.

  • Daniel Stendhal on Tuesday.

  • Speculation is that Reading may follow suit this week with Jose Gomez under pressure at the Madejski form Table.

  • Looks a little different to that, of course, that Darby, five games of being a run that includes and stretches back to before the last international break, drew Cardiff.

  • Then it leads the Big Birmingham for the first home win and then another point in Barnsley before Lieutenant weekend.

  • What stood out for you boys from from this block of five matches kept, I think, with the events that have gone on around the club, I think it's sort of it could have done it two ways.

  • It could have split it and wagon, but this seems like there's been a gel, it's galvanized, everybody's got together.

  • They got through this period.

  • I think Tom Lawrence has had to go out on the picture on Do is play his game because it does give you release it.

  • It's takes you away from everyday life because 90 minutes of football you go out there and do si Do you think that you're enjoying, um, on just the spirit?

  • You know, Curtis Davis has been a big plus because Richard Kiel was always going to be a big, big mess.

  • Got clean.

  • Treat is well on Saturday, which is a fantastic thing on there are there are chances now that being corrected on Dhe.

  • You know that that's from a a real, real positive talking to Martin, wack all about potentially big turning points, not just over the last three weeks, but across the season as a whole.

  • You look a the equalizer.

  • It leads first.

  • Martin.

  • You look at Caruso's penalty save and then the late winner against burning for that first home win.

  • I sort of feel like we'll look back it at the end of the season to these few weeks and think this wall's may be the most crucial period of the campaign.

  • It was because like Kev said, I mean with events off the field is gonna go one of two ways, and the managers come in for a bit of stick because of the way he carries himself and not be in this this person that jobs around on the touchline when, in fact that that type of person into the yard was exactly what the club meeting at that time.

  • So it worked out perfectly.

  • You know, the lads of they've come together, The funds have come together, the whole clubs come together and it needed to together's where we are now.

  • And yes, we are in a good word with largest in ourselves a little bit hard with the table.

  • But listen, it is it with men or we could talk about the players aren't here from last season.

  • That's a massive chunk of talent that's going out.

  • The other team and massive Chunk.

  • We're seeing it now on much of the week in makeup was applied in the Premiership and score.

  • So it's a lot to deal with on guilt about leaving.

  • Yeah, come from a championship club.

  • They're gone into partnership, have not looked out price.

  • They have moved on from the experiences of Evander here.

  • And also I think they've got faith in Frank Lampard.

  • But I think koku Philip Coppens during this period is really handled it very well.

  • But now they're more methodical.

  • They're more thinking, um, Andi, I think you know that is under everything, any any strong.

  • I mean, if we could've held on the bonds there Wednesday night, those two points were put them top half and they would have been within a victory of the playoff places, swings and roundabouts because you get the late goal that leads and maybe deserved point didn't deserve a point.

  • But on these things, even out.

  • But just the momentum that these results have given Darby show you dread to think, whether it be without it.

  • Yeah, because I think the even Though we did get a point of Bonds, I think that fella could defeat.

  • I feel it was a you know, the way with the way we gave the gold as well.

  • We was very disappointed again.

  • Have to come back and play at home in front of your own crowd under an awful lot of pressure as well.

  • I think you handled it very well.

  • Listen, the crowd played their part in it as well.

  • I think they stopped beyond the Thio behind the players and the manager.

  • Quite rightly so on Dhe.

  • Hopefully from now it convict.

  • It can be the Kegel that we need, you know, with this place, according to the team that you know, I bought a Curtis, Chris Martin talked about players that playing the team now that really had to start the season.

  • You would never have thought that was gonna be getting opportunity.

  • I'm surprised that you have Chris Martin's reemergence.

  • When he got, he got three goals in in three games, which is as many legal zzzz he's had for 18 months.

  • I think if Chris Martin's handled properly and played in the right way, he will get your goals and he will get you assists because one thing that he does do, he holds the ball up.

  • He brings people into play and he's always looking to get in that 18 yard box to get headers and shots away, and he's been a big difference.

  • He's been a massive difference.

  • I think Bogle like I said earlier, he has been a big difference and I think hopefully now you'll see the best of shinning on Dhe.

  • See why he came to club in a two end of the season?

  • I mean, you look at the goals he scored and then you mentioned earlier, they're all inside the penalty area.

  • That's strike three.

  • That's right, because you know he's on.

  • He's always on the move, and he always onda way Darby play.

  • Now it's a possession game has gone back to a little bit like Steve McClaren days where the ball was moved nice and bright and Frank Lampard days, and I still think maybe he might be able to do a job for Frank Man pardon, but it's great to see him back and being in a moving in a positive why It isn't a reminder that sometimes people just need a chance.

  • They just need an opportunity, because I'm sure he would argue that he didn't get one on the front line part.

  • He didn't really get one under Gary Rowett, either.

  • Now he's got one on the Philip.

  • Cocky Chris might say, Look what I can do.

  • Well, I think the old situation was strange for Chris.

  • We know what type of player is.

  • You know, when Frank was here.

  • I don't believe you could have played because the intensity of our build a play now is slower.

  • That suits Chris.

  • You know he's not doing nothing different today than what everybody was doing in 2014 that believe, except he's a little older and I was holding the ball up scoring goals.

  • That's what he does.

  • We all knew we could do it, but we wasn't the previous year playing in a fashion that would suit him, and I think he would.

  • He would say that himself.

  • But now we are the buildup summer.

  • We can get the ball into him.

  • He's the focal point, and we've got the energy around t penetrate that force.

  • So it's been a good room for Darby on after international break its back to it.

  • It's all building up to another trip to the city ground, which looks like it will be a real test given the way that knowing and forests of sort of the season.

  • But do you look at those fixtures?

  • Cab big on, say again, some decent opportunities to pick up some points there.

  • Well, you got Wigan hole in medals were we have not had particularly good start.

  • But then you've got chow on the star.

  • You know, the after the international break and you got knocked out and forests at the end of it, which is gonna be too difficult games.

  • But hopefully if they've got carried on the run that been on, if they go to challenge and you get three points, so or go on, get drill, then they're going into the the other gangs with a bit of confidence.

  • The local Darby's against forest.

  • If you're up for it, it doesn't matter what sort of run you're in.

  • It can all change, you know, because it's all about sometimes about belt, that passion and the fire of being the neighbors on dhe.

  • Certainly they do need being such a contrast sitting here now, too.

  • The mood before the last international break out, the less international brakeman Darby's swivels back to back defeats, including two forest.

  • Yeah, I imagine it's a lot easier for the players, you know, because Feroz really it wasn't great to talk about neither.

  • Well, it isn't, is it?

  • You know, the team you support, and it's it's not great to talk about that, but, you know, you got to give the players credit, give this stuff in the football club and they're not supposed credit ruined.

  • How they've dealt with things, you know, we've all got our own opinions of what we think should have been done.

  • Shouldn't have been done.

  • But you know, what's happened has happened since that.

  • Now we're going out onto the pitch.

  • A couple of times, things have happened and things are looking good, little kid much better in the water.

  • As you said a few weeks ago, the boys thank you very much indeed.

  • That's it from us.

  • For now.

  • We'll be back next week to look into that trip to Charlton as the football gets back underway.

  • But enjoy your international break and we'll see you next time.

Hello and welcome to the Darby County Show.
