Whitlock on goals for rest of Premier League season: 'I'd love to be in the Play-Offs'

Simon Whitlock has proven everyone wrong so far in this years' Premier League on his march towards an unlikely Play-Off spot. 'The Wizard' though faces a tough test tomorrow against Michael van Gerwen but has his sights set on reaching the Play-Offs.

He himself though admits that there is a long way to go until he can think about it but knows what he has to do taking it one week a time. "I'm looking pretty good again," said Whitlock, who picked up another win defeating Gerwyn Price last week. "In my head I expected to win and get the two points last week. I can build on last week and I'm pushing towards the top four again now. "After the first three weeks, maybe 12 points would have been more what I was thinking, but I've avoided elimination and I'm up there close to the top four, so I'm doing alright. "I'd love to be in the Play-Offs - that's my goal now. I've done the first section and avoided elimination and now I'm looking to make The O2. That's my dream. "There's a long way to go, another seven more games, but if I can get another ten points then maybe I'll make the Play-Offs. I just take one week at a time now and enjoy it, because I love it."
