I know this has been said a lot. But this time I truly think, Judd will win the World title this season. I think, his time has come. He's matured, has enough experience and he's at the peak of his powers and reminds me a little bit of the peak O'Sullivan in the 2004 World Championship when every department of his game was just really really good even though I still think, that peak O'Sullivan in the 2004 WC was a level above this Trump.

well of course there's no guarantee whatsoever mate. The possibility of losing to a topplayer is obviously always existing. But he's undoubtely in his prime now and he's got to take advantage of that big time. These next 3-4 years are hugely important to him.

he could win 5 rankers in this season and still lose in the 1st round of the WC. see ding. WC is a different ball game. pressure has gotten to him. lost two deciders against players he should have won against (carter in 2012 and bingham in 2015) and bottled quite a bit vs neil in 2014.

I had a hell of a time finding my way here from my hotel, but other than that, it's great.
The Trafford Centre is amazing.

Am I the only one who think that Trump isn't playing THAT good currently. He's playing good enough to beat his opponents but he's nowhere near to his best. Like I said yesterday, it's a great time to be Judd Trump, his opposition is laughable. The only way he can lose this tournament is by bottling it big time.
Regarding the empty seats, when the Crucible struggles to be sold out then you know there's something wrong.

it takes only one bad loss (decider loss, thrashing) and judd could disappear for a bit. it did take him some time to recover from his loss vs wilson till the end of the last season where he won the china open. so a similar loss like this who knows

Really good response from Barry. The green at the start was a fantastic shot.

Pretty poor crowd in, maybe more tourneys in Eastern Europe is the way forward

Couldn't agree more mate.
Plus like you said, it takes one bad loss (e.g. a match he should have really won) to take his confidence back. Trump has been like that in recent years.
Lot and lot's of Snooker to be played until then. In theory, a player could get knocked out first round in every tournament and win the Worlds. It's better to go there with confidence, but the tournament itself is so much diferent to the others.

That missed black off its spot from Hawkins could prove turning point.
He was going so well and about to level at 3-3. 4-2 takes him back again.

judd is difficult to beat. you have to be at the top of your game. barry cant miss these kind of black. judd will punish you even when he is not playing well.
