Lloyd chooses darkhorses for PDC World Darts Championship: "I like the look of Gurney and Searle"

Previewing the PDC World Darts Championship, Colin Lloyd has named two players he thinks will go surprisingly far at Alexandra Palace.
The first name is Daryl Gurney. "He's been a little bit on the missing list, but this individual would be my surprise package - at the Players Championship Finals, he showed to me he's got that hunger and desire back. I like the look of Daryl Gurney. He looked really good, really sharp, very focused," said Lloyd to Sky Sports.
"The other one for me is Ryan Searle. He proved something to himself and he openly admitted that nerves probably got the better of him in the end. Those two had one heck of a battle at the Players Championship and we want to see more of that.
"Two players that are firing on all cylinders, looking good. I am looking forward to seeing how both of those guys perform at the World Championship."

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
