On the floor it looks like he will struggle. :DDD:

Here are some facts not in dispute

He lost 4 games on the floor in q-school to poor players like vince Tipple and needed league position to earn a card.
Lost to Alan Tabern yesterday on the floor


Jamie Caven WON back to back pc titles and he is now chucking averages in the 70s on his way to the bdo.
Bunting won a title when he first switched and look how he fared, and I think bunting is vastly superior to durrant.

When Durrant is playing for a living day in and day out on the floor he wont find it that easy when he is picking up a lot of defeats and his confidence is truly tested. He is a good player but absolutely no where near as good as some would have you believe.

how are the former bdo #1 s doing like Wilson. Kellet, Farmer ?
How are those lakeside winners like kist, webster, klaasen etc doing ? :grin:

out of interest it seems some folk think that this comp is the gsod, that Glen is playing as a bdo player. I thought the thread title may have been a clue.

Razma chokes when he was well on top
Thornton 4-1 and should have been 5-1 up and bottles it.
Hendo misses multiple darts to go 5-1 up and chokes
He then play a proven choker in Cullen who last week lost 10 legs out of 12 to Wade...no surprise Cullen bottled it
Chizzy who has never in his entire life won a major title hits an 88 average and misses match darts and still wins.

People heralded Bunting as a top player because he won an event, and where is bunting now ?
Durrant could only beat what was in front of him, but other than Peter Wright, durrant beat no one who is decent, even Robert Thornton is a shell of the player he was.Hendo, Cullen, and Madars showed why they will never win anything of note.

As for Chizzy, he too was lucky and nearly blew it, like Wade did when he missed 5 match darts against Chizzy.
When Durrant is scraping lucky wins against fodder players it does not look encouraging....remember Jamie Caven won back to back players champs...and where is he
Agree with all of this. It's like that time you said Wade was a complete jobber and he'd never win a title again, and he won the next two TV tournaments after lads missed multiple match darts against him. Pure genius.
What part of my post is wrong ?
Bunting was heralded by people on here when he won a UK Open qualifier, one person claimed there was only 2 players better, and others even agreed.
Years on, and where is Bunting...well outside the top 16, and he even contemplated retiring from the game TWICE.

Another fact, Chizzy has never won a major, and averaged 88 and still won.
Another fact is joe Cullen is over rated and did indeed lose 10 of his last 12 legs to wade last week.
Thornton is in a slump no matter how you spin it and blew a huge lead and was given the chances and failed to take them.
Hendo was given multiple chances and failed to take them as did Razma.

I did not knock Durrant, as said you can only beat what is in front of you, I was criticizing his opponents who blew huge leads at crucial times.
Make no mistake, to meet that many players on a way to a final who caved in is thankfully a rare thing, and I saw nothing from durrant to suggest he would fare any better than Bunting has.
Factor in durrants age, and how he clearly shows the pressure he is under I dont see him as a top player. He luckily got a tourcard, lost to Alan Tabern,yesterday and failed to be a woeful chizzy averaging 88.
That said he might be a better stage player, but on the floor he looks like he will struggle.
Bunting isn't well outside the top 16 He s 17th in the OOM and only by 25 K

Also good start to the year for Clayton played well both days and like I said really isn’t defending much this year so should easily be top 12 after the worlds likely even top 10. Chizzy is an odd players these days doesn’t seem to play as well as he used to very often but still has a lot of deep runs on the floor.

I think making the Euro tour and having runs there key if get to that final it 10k

he is still outside the top 16, and on current form I expect that 25k gap to increase

he contemplated retiring twice, and is not and never was a player where "there is only 2 players in the world better than him".

but feel free to ignore this like others because of who typed it, as it might not suit your agenda.

I expect Durrant will do no better than Bunting did when he switched, currently all the hype is about will he cut it with the PDC elite, personally i doubt it today he beat Wright both averages below par and i know averages don't win matches, lets see how this pans out over the coming months but im not expecting him doing any damage in the PDC.

Darts players come back shocker and show fighting spirit.

Durrant beat two top 16 players. Not bad for an UNRANKED player. He is getting to grips on this tour, You slagged him off when he lost to the likes of tipple but when he beating Cullen, Henderson & Wright after going behind you still slag him of


Bunting is 17th in the rankings and has struggled for consistancy

It's been this rule for at least 2 years already. Players and their national orgs get no say in selection.
