    Watched it on QPR's site. Thought Holmes & Monthe + Skapetis from QPR were standouts.

    From reading qpr forums, most were impressed with Holmes, and also surprised/glad that someone as slight as him has been kept on by an academy rather than suffering the English fate of 'too small'.

    Duane Holmes has won an award called the Donald Bell Award

    I've never heard of it either (since it's the first time the award has been handed out) but it sounds cool. Congrats to him

    Good to hear.

    And cheers to whoever runs that @USAprospects twitter page, they do some good work getting info on a lot of the unknown commodities/dual internationals.

    It certainly appears as if Holmes is putting himself in the club's first team plans moving forward.

    Here were quotes from Huddersfield's coach after the game...

    Brian, do you know if Duane is still projected as a box to box mid long term by the club?

    I don't know if he's any good but he's really pretty.

    Seriously, he should make sure he NEVER goes to jail.

    Also, huge congrats for this debut.

    On his first touch he makes a nice run from the left flank, uses a nice touch to get around a defender and hits a low cross that is cleared.
