Originally posted by lymehoop View Postdon't like to coat of ex-players but I'd rather take note of Forest fans who attend matches rather than some Canadian who relies on stats
But my post was not about anybody's opinion of how well he is playing, it was about your patently incorrect assertion that he is "warming his #### on the bench at Forest". The fact is he has played 11 out of 11 league matches and has started two of the last three and THAT is a STAT that can be verified without watching the matches!'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

I think our affinity with him grew because he stood head and shoulders above everyone in terms of effort and attempts to galvanise the others on the pitch. Basically if any fan somehow got into the team, they'd play like Mackie. Heart on sleeve etc.
But there is no way he would be anywhere near our starting XI now, but he is a regular at one of our main rivals. Says it all really.

By the way, although I live in Canada I am half English and I lived in England from age 3-21. I've seen QPR play live many times and was one of the 35,353. So, I take offence at "some Canadian..." (but I won't hold a grudge!).Last edited by dsqpr; 09-10-2013, 09:14 PM.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

Forest have played 11 league matches and Jamie Mackie has played in every single one of them (doesn't say how many he started but he played 90 mins in 2 of the last 3 and came on as a sub against Brighton).
The Official Website of Nottingham Forest Football Club: get the latest news, highlights, fixtures and results, tickets and more.
He has one goal and two assists and, by the way, Forest seem to be doing quite well with him in the team.

Originally posted by stainrodisalegend View PostOne goal in ten and you are holding that up as some kind of achievement? I read a Forest forum and one of the more intelligent posters said "he doesn't appear to be the 20-goal-a-season striker we were promised." You felt like posting back "no sh*t, Sherlock." One of those permanently frustrating players, not clinical enough to be a striker and not skillful enough to be a winger. Be surprised if he is still starting for Forest in Jan. And if he is wd be even more surprised if they are challenging for promotion. Harsh to say but we improved massively when he broke his leg and we brought in Routledge. Top block, average player.Last edited by dsqpr; 09-10-2013, 10:59 PM.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.
