But the manner of Wright’s departure possibly stunned viewers more. The 54-year-old averaged just 74.81 and failed to achieve even one attempt at a checkout. A scathing fan posted: “Up there with one of the worst performances I’ve seen by a so called top player.” <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Another wrote: “Not even gonna lie, as a massive Wright fan: That was just sad. Every time Wright looks like he might be turning a corner, he does something like this.” A third pointed out: “74 average, no attempts at doubles.” A gobsmacked fourth said: “Unreal, he couldn’t find a treble to save his life. Poor performance heading towards world champs.” And a fifth fan claimed: “Genuinely the worst performance I’ve ever seen from Wright in a season of sh*** performances.” <figure class="wp-caption alignnone" id="attachment_12756733"><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3nnw1S_0wMGbmq400" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3nnw1S_0wMGbmq400" width="960" height="530" ><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Snakebite now has two months to prepare himself for the World Championships </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS However, other viewers were baffled by Wright slumping so tamely – after mounting a revival in recent weeks following a rough few months, especially in the Premier League. One said: “Thought Wright had found some sort of form.”  Another added: “Wow what happened for Wright, been so good on euro tours last couple of weeks.” Meanwhile, darts lovers who were more sympathetic urged the Scot to keep plugging away to help do himself justice at this year’s World Championships, starting in December. The only two averages below Wright’s in this event both came in its inaugural year of 2008. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> German no-hoper Andree Welge averaged 71 in losing 5-0 to Wayne Mardle in Frankfurt and Roland Scholten managed just 51 as he struggled with a shoulder injury. </div></body>
