Hampton's Thompson and Inman on QPR radar (From Sutton Guardian) Hampton's Thompson and Inman on QPR radar 5:16pm Thursday 29th September 2011 Print Email Comments(0) Hampton & Richmond Borough striker Dan Thompson may be back at the Beveree, but boss Mark Harper has admitted it might not be for long. The 17-year-old returned to the Bevears line-up for Saturday’s 3-1 win over Weston-Super-Mare after a three-week spell on trial at Premier League Stoke City. Eight other clubs had representatives at Station Road to cast their eye over him only to see Thompson taken off just before half-time with a nasty head injury. But the scouts seemed to leave happy as defender Dean Inman secured a trial with QPR reserves this week, with his team-mate lined up to do the same when he gets over his concussion. City remain keen on Thompson, but Harper insisted others were still interested in him. And providing he can play for Hampton at weekend’s he’s more than happy to see him try out for other outfits higher up the pecking order. “Dan looks fitter and more accomplished in just three weeks at Stoke,” he said. “If that is how he comes back from every trial then I’m happy for him to do it as long as he can play for us at a weekend. “Until there is a firm deal that suits both parties, he is our player.” http://www.suttonguardian.co.uk/spo...on_s_Thompson_and_Inman_on_QPR_radar/?ref=rss
IN RESERVE: R'S BEAT BRIGHTON Posted on: Wed 28 Sep 2011 QPR Reserves beat a Brighton XI at the Club's training ground this afternoon in an eight-goal thriller. The entertaining match also featured the return of attacker Jamie Mackie, who made a second-half appearance after a nine-month spell on the sidelines. Mackie, incidentally, didn't find out he was set to feature until after First Team training this morning. Southampton loanee Jason Puncheon put the R's ahead on 20 minutes with a superb left-footed strike, after cutting inside from the right flank. Although it wasn't long before the match was level, as Jamie Smith's acute chip beat Brain Murphy in the Rangers goal. The lead was restored on 37 minutes, when Akos Buzsaky converted from the spot, after Puncheon was fouled inside the Brighton 18-yard box. Moments later and a goal-line scramble allowed the visitors to once again bring the scores level, as George Barker got the decisive and final touch. Rangers added another to the scoreline on the stroke of half-time, as Buzsaky struck a ferocious shot from distance, leaving the Seagulls number one with no chance. The quick feet of Bruno Andrade gifted the home side their second penalty of the match, which the youngster converted, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. Jordan Woodley beat Murphy from close range as the visitors once again narrowed the score. But Marcel Henry-Francis had the final say and headed the R's into a two-goal cushion late into the second half. Mackie came close to marking his return with a goal, but the Rangers number 12 just missed the target on two occasions, in what was overall a momentous step for the 26 year-old. QPR Reserves Squad: Brian Murphy, Michael Harriman, Gary Borrowdale, Bruno Perone, Mo Shariff, Taylor Parmenter, Marcel Henry-Francis, Akos Buzsaky, Petter Vaagan Moen, Hogan Ephraim, Bruno Andrade, Jason Puncheon, Patrick Agyemang, Jamie White, Danny Fitzpatrick, Jordan Gibbons, Jamie Mackie, Trialist x 2.
My mate is a regular down at Hampton and rates them both but doubts they could make the step up to our level for a long long time
