    As an Aussie, hopefully he'll have his head screwed on right ................. we don't want any Kewell or Viduka types.

    Cheers Roller. Interesting read. I've been curious about him, seen his name on the scoresheet regularly and was wondering if we had a gem on our hands. Still early days, but with his family close by there's every chance he'll make it. Just hope we can see some youth get a chance this season, it can only make us stronger long term.

    Only worry though is that he tries to model his game around Luis Suarez... ;)

    An encouraging read, cheers Roller. Let us hope he does not do a Raheem on us.

    That's a cracking feature. Kid seems like he's got some real potential!

    It would be good to see some younger players coming through. And identified as captain material too at youth level, which says something about his character. Look forward to seeing him play

    Certainly looks a promising youngster, about time we benefited from the youth set-up...

    A very good read. Get this lad in with the 1st team in pre season and give him some appropriate game time. A start against Exeter in the Capital One Cup would be a good chance. He could be the start of a respectable production line of QPR youth players.

    I agree with all of this. It is a great write up and I hope Skapetis can fulfil his potential with us. It would be great to see Skapetis and Frankie Sutherland break through the ranks and into the first team.

    The support any of these young, relatively home grown lads would get making their debut at LR would be fantastic. Really hope that this bloke, Sutherland, Harriman, Ehmer and whoever else get a few chances this year.
