The fact that they put Andy Carroll and Danny Ings ahead of Charlie is a bit of an embarrassment to be honest, Austin is excellent in the air and has improved ever so much recently, he has one of the best shots/shots on target ratio's in the league and he is the third top scorer, yet Carroll and Ings are supposedly more handy for england...

Understandable......but as a fan would've been nice for him to be in the mix/discussion a bit more.

Hope he get's a shot next year, not this year as we're short. We can't risk him getting injured.

[SuperHoopNik]

Not only does Austin have the best stats there...all his goals have come in the Prem. Lots of Kane's have come against awful teams in the europa league.

I get the idea for a different dimension with carroll but austin is also excellent in the air, my bigger concern is the Ings debacle as he is definitely not as good as Austin.

Rather not have Charlie playing for England tbh. Greater shop window for clubs to look at him through , plus 1 bad game for England and he's lambasted by the media and his confidence gets shattered. Would be great for him to get a call up of course, but on a purely selfish note I would much rather he didn't, no positives to be gained from it for little old QPR.

if austin can play foe england so can i

[Manx Hoop]

I dont want him playing for england during the season, not as a qpr player, simple as.

[nasser95]

I don't think people are understanding, these 'pundits' are suggesting that Ings and Carroll are better players, better finishers than Austin. Put to the side that we don't want him on the shop window, if you are Hodgson, who would you choose?

I love Austin. I am sure he wants to play for his national team. I hope he plays for England as soon as possible. AND I hope he gets a new contract for Christmas.

[Fozzieboy]

I think Austin and Carroll would play great together

[HoopDoggyDogg]

I think any Friendly Games are the times to give call ups to others, and give them a chance but it doesn't seem to happen that much.
Austin will get his call up in the next squad for sure.
The Stats show he deserves it.

Spot on, not to mention league cup games.

As for the bloke saying Ings, who is he....?

[HoopDoggyDogg]

Not only Top English Goalscorer, but only 3 behind Aguero, and 1 behind Costa.
Charlie's confidence must be at the end of scale at moment, knowing he isn't far behind those 2 strikers.
