See that Jack Taylor has returned to Bridgwater from Corsham. Expected to sign a few more players in the next couple of weeks from higher divisions as well. Hope they fail miserably.

Noppert is the one that has the most to feel hard done by. We have Luke Littler, then the others are the top 6 in the rankings, Noppert is at number 7 and Peter Wright at 8. Wright very lucky to get in imo after an abysmal year for him form wise.

He was asked about it and spoke against it as would mean almost seven days of darts every week which is a danger at his age for burnout 

On a side note I see that he is provisionally in the top 32 in the world after this.

Humphries wins it for me now. Had a tough schedule with playing last most rounds. No real idea as to what time his match would start so difficult to prepare. It wasn't until last night when there were only 2 matches, so had an idea as to when his match would start. And low and behold hits a 103.5 average. Can only see him getting stronger now.

108.74 average tonight. What a final it is going to be tomorrow night.

Worst I’ve seen MvG play, can’t believe how many doubles he missed.

He is nowhere near as good as he was. There is always this type of performance in him nowadays.

Wycombe down to ten, there`s a surprise.

But 3 nil up

Wow Cross 4-0 down to Dobey in first to 5 and comes back to beat him 5-4. Unbelievable darts.

Hardly nailed on for the WC. There is some seriously good competition in that midfield.

Nailed on, injury permitting, in my opinion.

Who had the other 10% ?

Absolute class from Humphries.

Humphries in big trouble 3-1 down in a first to 4.

Getting better and better. Dobey averaging 112 two sets to nil up on Ross Smith who is averaging 111

Dobey wins 4-2 and there were 27 180's in the match. I think he will beat Michael Smith in the next round.

Getting better and better. Dobey averaging 112 two sets to nil up on Ross Smith who is averaging 111

What a 1st set between Bunting & Hempel. Going to be a great day of darts.

Watched Yate on Saturday - didn’t look like scoring if they’d been there all week.

I’m assuming that tit Tooze gave it large at the final whistle 

No kept it quite restrained really. Thought he might have given it large TBF. The biggest tit on the day was Tovey on the Yate bench, non stop querying every decision. Not too sure what the financial situation is like at Yate now but if the best back up striker they can get is Jack Ball things must be bad. Hadn't heard is name on the circuit last 18 months or so but he looked a couple of stone too heavy.

Oli Jenkins of Yate best player on the pitch by some distance.

Just back from the 6 pointer between Paulton and Yate. Paulton won one nil in a real scrappy affair. Both teams right down at the bottom of the league and you can see why.

If he wasn’t, who was?

Mousinho at Pompey ?

11 of the 32 seeds have been knocked out in the 2nd round.

3 more seeds out so far today, Huybrechts, Rydz and now Josh Rock.

Next game could be another, Ryan Joyce been playing well recently, should give Bunting a game.

Van den bergh, de Souza and the aubergine farmer all knocked out today.

Going off on a tangent Swansea linked with Luke Williams as their new manager.

Wade out beaten by Canadian Matt Campbell. Big shock as Wade's form has been good recently.

Bobby is an interesting one.  You could see he had technique but he didn’t seem to physically develop for ages which probably delayed his progress.  LJ discovered his super power (? by accident) when he moved him up front - he’s one of the best pressers I’ve ever seen.  

Definitely by accident. He was on his way out of the club and was used as a striker in pre season as a filler as we had no one else available.
