skinnybob72 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The last couple of years has seen a big turnover at the top end of the PDC. The guys who had been top 16 for years have fallen away, Part, Mardle, Lloyd, Jenkins, Manley & Baxter. They have been replaced by Van Gerwin, newton, Chisnell, Pipe, Whitlock, Wright, Huybrechts, etc. They quite simply didn't improve as the standard got better and their game was no longer good enough to compete at the highest level. A couple of players have upped their game to stay competitive, such as Hamilton, Thornton and as just witnessed, Caven. In years gone by the likes of Wade and Barney could get to the last 8 without breaking sweat but this year they have been involved in tight games. Makes it more entertaining to watch.

skinnybob72 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Taylor doesn't seem to have recovered from being blown away by MVG in the last TV event. He's been coasting all year and all of a sudden he got steamrollered from nowhere. He played like a man who had lost his invincibility. It's not like he lost to a Lewis or MVG, although Smith played well he is in the grand scheme of things 'a nobody'. However, he now has the rest of the tournament to change that and really go on to make a name for himself. Or he could simply be another Kirk Shepherd.

Loves getting beaten rivals to sign the board when he wins but won't do the same or give an interview when he loses. The guy is a total ******.
