QPR co-chairman Tony Fernandes has given his full backing to director of football Les Ferdinand and manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink despite the clubs disappointing attempt to bounce straight back into the Premier League. QPR are 12th in the Championship, 13 points behind sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday - who they play on Tuesday night at Hillsborough - with Hasselbaink collecting just two wins from his 14 games in charge.But, although Fernandes accepts it has been a struggle on their return to English footballs second tier, he believes the right pieces are in place at Loftus Road. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (left) poses with director of football Les Ferdinand after being appointed QPR boss I think Les has been a fantastic guy, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Some of the fans give him stick but he knows what he wants, hes done some great deals for us, hes honest, hes hard-working.Jimmy is new but I love his enthusiasm. Again, he knows what he wants, hes very forthright. Hes very clear. I hope this is the foundation weve been dreaming of for a long, long time. We want to be back this season, who wouldnt? Weve probably missed the boat this time so I hope in the short term we start playing good football and we start giving players who are going to be here for the long-term game time. Hopefully well be competing in the not-too-distant future. Charlie Austin left Loftus Road in January in a £4m move to Southampton Fernandes believes Southampton got one of the bargains of the season when they signed striker Charlie Austin for £4m in January, but thinks the club could have hung on to the striker had they been closer to the play-off places.A club that he really wanted to go to came in and made an offer, so we said okay. We took what money we could, he added.It wasnt what we would have liked but we got some money. I tried very hard to extend his contract, we were close while in the Premier League and then we lost one game and he got nervous about it.We would have fought very hard to keep him [had we been higher in the table] and I think Charlie would have stayed and helped to take us up. Its hypothetical now, but the player would have made a big impact. It wasnt cashing in, the player wanted to go.

SAN DIEGO -- The rebuilding San Diego Padres got a glimpse of the future on Thursday night.Two rookies led the way as San Diego beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-8 to snap a five-game losing streak.Alex Dickersons two-out, three-run double in the eighth inning was the big play after the Padres squandered a three-run edge.Travis Jankowski had a career-high four hits to increase his average to .365 (30 for 87) since July 31. Hes also added nine stolen bases and 17 runs scored over that span.Hes always a pain for the other team, Dickerson said. Any time he is on base, he can do damage to you.Dickerson smacked Enrique Burgos pitch into the gap in left-center field to put the Padres ahead.That kind of situation, anytime runners in the scoring position, you dont want to get cheated on anything, Dickerson said. Its not going to be a finesse swing. I wanted to make sure I was getting my moneys worth on it, cause you got to make that be a hard hit ball and make it tough on the defense if you do hit it on the ground.Michael Bourns soft single drove in pinch-hitter Rickie Weeks in the top of the eighth put Arizona ahead after it rallied from a three-run deficit.Ryan Buchter (3-0), the Padres fourth pitcher, got the win.Brandon Maurer worked the ninth for his sixth save in 10 chances. He gave up an unearned run before stranding the tying and go-ahead runs.Jake Barrett (1-1) allowed three runs in the eighth to snap Arizonas four-game winning streak.

And that is a great example of it.Just as Jankowski is proof positive that if the Padres are to win, the youngsters much produce.Give him credit, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. He is a real good hitter.Mitch Hanigers run-scoring double in the seventh pulled Arizona even at 6-6.The Padres had gone ahead 6-5 on Edwin Jacksons keen base running, after the Padres starter reached on a walk as a pinch-hitter to start the sixth. Jackson advanced to third on Jankowskis double and scored on a passed ball.Welington Casttillo was handcuffed by Edwin Escobars pitch and the ball ricocheted toward the Padres dugout.dddddddddddd Jackson broke for the plate and Castillos relay was high, with Jackson swiping the plate with his left hand on a headfirst slide.That is just inexcusable at this level, Hale said. Its not that hard to get the signs.Jean Seguras two-run homer, a 416-foot shot in the sixth off reliever Jose Dominguez, tied the game 5-5.Arizona pulled to 5-3 in the fifth on Castillos RBI single, his third hit of the game.The Padres took a 5-2 lead in the third thanks to some sloppy Arizona fielding.Jankowskis second hit opened the frame and he stole second base -- after a replay overturned the original call. Wil Myers followed with a single, with Jankowski scoring his second run.Segura then misplayed Dickersons grounder and Myers scored. Christian Bethancourt followed with a two-run single for the three-run lead.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: OF A.J.
