QPR striker Jamie Mackie to feature for reserves - QPR FC - Sport - Fulham Chronicle JAMIE Mackie is set to play his first game since in nine months this afternoon (Wednesday) when the QPR winger steps out for the reserves against Brighton. Boss Neil Warnock has received the all clear to give Mackie 20 minutes or so as a first step back to league action. The player suffered a terrible double tibia/fibula break during a collision with Blackburn Rovers defender Gael Givet in the FA Cup tie on January 8. But Warnock reckons Mackieâs inclusion is a belated gift after he blew out the candles on his 26th birthday cake last Thursday. âThe surgeon has said itâs fine for Jamie to play,â said Warnock. âSo this will be a bit of a welcome surprise for him.â Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest QPR news.
Dagenham & Redbridge set to sign QPR striker - QPR FC - Sport - Fulham Chronicle TROY Hewitt is set to go out on loan to struggling Dagenham & Redbridge for game time in League Two. The QPR striker has made just one substitute appearance for his new side since his switch from non-league Harrow Borough in March. Hotshot Hewitt was left out of Neil Warnock's 25-man squad submitted to the Premier League, with the 21-year-old being sent on loan to the Daggers to continue his development.

Great news on Jamie, North! News on Troy sounds good too, if true. I think he was non League before he joined us, so League 2 will be a step up for him. Hope he bangs in the goals there and can repeat it for us in the PL when he returns, even though it will be another big step up.
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. Although, Mackie didn't find out he was set to feature until after first-team training this morning. Saints 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 score 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 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 R's 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.
Hmm, 2 goals from Buzsaky, one a ferocious screamer. Could he be the answer to our goal drought? Who is Marcel Henry-Francis? I'd like to hear Neil saying that name quickly.
