darts. PL week 5

[theoldmaster]

my thoughts on the match ups for week 5. A LEWIS v R SCHOLTON, well this is a game that you feel the Ducthman has to win, currently bottom he has to secure a victory in the next two weeks to keep himself in with a shout. He has yet to fire on all cylinders and i feel this could be the week for it, and when he is hot he is an awesome scorer, his only weakness finishing, and this is similar to Lewis, another factor to consider Scholton is no stranger to a bit of gamesmanship, he has previous for dawdling to the oche, and has been warned by referees in the past for this, and against a player like Lewis, who has let these things get to him before, he may well do anything to win, Bet on Sholton. D PRIESTLEY v C LLOYD, Dennis is top of the league and is off the back of two victories, however jaws has appeared to be finally finding his form, this is going to be tight and personally i'm finding it hard to split them, so a draw maybe the way to go here, if i had to pick someone then i would go for the menace, he is a slow player and lloyd has been known to struggle against slow players and start pushing darts. T JENKINS v P MANLEY, in the last two weeks, jenkins has played both Taylor and barney, and on both occassions he has played macnificently, indee he should've beaten taylor, and against barney he lost with a 102 avg! on this form manley should'nt stand a chance but the ex newsagent has shown good form recently, (finalist in Holland) and i just wonder fi jenkins is due a dip in form, manley is known for his gamesmanship but nothing seems to fluster jenkins so can't see that being a factor here, my bet would be on a draw, maybe this match will produce highest checkout Manley is a master at high outs. BARNEVELD v TAYLOR, the BIG one, the eagerly awaited clash that won't dissapoint! and this is going to be close, barney took taylors world crown and as we know a wounded taylor is a dangerous beast, the power has been out of sorts of late his new lifestyle appears to have affected his game BUT he has been looking better as the weeks go on, Barney has no fears facing taylor and believes he has a phsycological advantage on taylor, indeed his record against him is probably better than anyone else's, where to we bet on this depends who the bookies make fav, that will be interesting. on a final note the first or last games are worth punting on for most 180s would prob fancy the Lewis/ scholton match.

Re: darts. PL week 5 my pick for this week: Jenkins, Terry vs Manley, P Jenkins ML @1.90 in Unibet Jenkins has been in a good shape recently. He played very close matches with the two "big guns" and was a bit unlucky not to beat at least one of them. Manley is not the man he used to be, last time he was crashed by the "Power" and generally he's been far from his best in PL so far. If I just simply compare the stats ( 180s, doubles etc. ) of these two dartsmen I really think it's worth backing Jenkins this time with medium stake.
