It has been a seriously disappointing season for Queens Park Rangers as fans would have hoped that they would be competing for promotion at this stage.

However, the West London based side are languishing at the opposite end of the Sky Bet Championship table and they are in danger of being dragged into a relegation scrap if results don't pick up again.

The Hoops currently sit just five points adrift of Wigan Athletic, who occupy the final spot in the relegation zone, and they will be ominously looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack.

However, Ian Holloway has boosted QPR since his arrival and the neutral would expect them to survive the drop come the end of the season.

Nevertheless, the players' main focus will be to keep QPR afloat.

And for some, the secondary focus will be to convince Holloway they are worthy of a contract extension.

Here are 2 players who need to impress.

Jamie Mackie

Jamie Mackie has enjoyed his return to the first team recently.

You know just what to expect with the experienced forward: pace, energy and causing the defence problems with his persistence.

However, he needs to convince Holloway that he is still good enough to warrant an extension on his current deal, which is due to expire in the summer.

Ravel Morrison

Ravel Morrison joined QPR on deadline day on a loan deal from Lazio, with the option to buy.

The former West Ham and England under-21 attacking midfielder is one of the most naturally gifted footballers out there but his attitude and behaviour have held him back.

Morrison needs to show QPR that he has put his controversies behind him and he is now fully focused on making his football career work.
