Lloyd backs Wright for World Matchplay glory: "I've been sucked into his hype"

Colin Lloyd has backed Peter Wright for World Matchplay glory ahead of the showpiece tournament returning to Blackpool from tonight (Saturday).
Lloyd believes his recent form with his new darts in particular are a sign of how well he's playing and that 'Snakebite's focus will be there to add the second biggest tournament to his resume.
"I've been sucked into his hype, I'm going to go with Peter Wright," said Lloyd on The Darts Show podcast.
"I like the fact that he's only had these gold darts a couple of weeks and listen anybody who can beat Michael van Gerwen 8-2 when Michael's averaging between 105-106, possibly higher at some point in that match.
"They're throwing some seriously good stuff and we know that Peter's someone who focuses and takes his darts very seriously especially when it is the second biggest ranked tournament on the calendar."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
