Jamie Mackie

[Shania]

mackie has a superb attitude, i wouldn't start him though nor would i play nasser who i think has been poor when i've seen him play . i'd start washington and use mackie as a sub that can press defenders in the closing stages of a game

This.

Sorry Shania - worst player on our team,
Comparing him with Hill - Mackie will always be a loser

[dogsrrs]

Jimmy Floyd has got far more right than wrong in a difficult start at QPR so we should give him the benefit of the doubt if he choses not to start Washington and Nasser this season , and hope to see them as regulars next season which I'm sure we will

Is his average score really 7 since joining us? Really surprised by that to be honest . I think jh has been absolute dog #### for 90% of his time here. It's only now that he's performing ironically as he's approaching a contract expiry. Mackie might not be everyone's cup of tea but in my opinion he can't really be judged on this season. Very much stop start with no consistency in selection and a serious injury. Obviously lacking match sharpness

id take Mackie over Phillips and Toilet all day every day

Thank goodness you're not picking the teams.

Could say the same to you thanks for biting

Could say the same to you thanks for biting though

Could that explain why others don't get in because they don't naturally chase back and are being re-coached in doing so?

Not sure what Phillips is being coached

[Ramsey is god]

not that i am defending Mackie, as thought he was poor Friday, but your stats dont show everything. It wont show where Mackie presses their backline forcing them to go long and we ultimately win the ball back as opposed to just letting them pick their passes out from the back.

Would keep him around the squad and he can still be effective off the bench, just not sure he has a future here as a starter.

That's where me watching the games twice come in handy and he really didn't do anything like that. If anything, Polter was the one doing all the high pressing.

Loved Mackie in our promotion year but since he left he hasn't really performed. I agree with what many have said about him being a squad player and brought on with 10-20 left. He puts loads of effort in and sweats blood for us but the lad just isn't very good on the ball. He'll run his heart out, he'll attempt a tackle or three, he'll score an occasional cracking goal but when running with the ball you can bet he will lose it. Seeing as he does more of the latter why play him more than 10-20 minutes?

Biting? I used a snazzy smiley thingy majig to agree with a comment above? Odd ball aren't you Bill.

Honestly I like Mackie but I just cannot see us progressing with him as a starter. Sadly an impact sub at best.

Nothing against him personally either. However football has moved on and the days when a player would be selected on the grounds that 'he would run through a brick wall for you' are long gone. I would say more of a late sub, when we are under pressure and trying to defend a winning position, more so away from home, rather than an impact sub.
