Richard Dunne: 'Queens Park Rangers fans can make winning difference'

Richard Dunne has said that the Queens Park Rangers supporters could be the difference between winning and losing tonight's Championship playoff semi-final second leg against Wigan Athletic.

It's as you were going into the game at Loftus Road after a goalless first leg at the DW Stadium, and Dunne believes that home advantage could be what sends QPR to the final at Wembley.

"Loftus Road isn't the biggest stadium but the fans make a great noise," he told the R's website. "There is so much riding on this, and for the last month or six weeks we have been building up to it.

"We will be prepared and we will do our bit, and it's so important for us to have the fans right on side.

"We know they're going to be right behind us and it's going to be a great atmosphere. Hopefully that will be the difference between us winning and losing."

Derby await the winner in the final a week on Saturday after their convincing 6-2 aggregate victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.
