QPR see opportunity in 'open' Championship - Dunne
Dunne: 'The Championship is a relentless beast... it takes a toll'

Queens Park Rangers captain Jimmy Dunne says that his side are still "looking up" despite their poor form before the November international break.
QPR are winless in their last four games in the Championship but Dunne insists confidence has not been hit by results because teams are so close in the division.
Six points separate 16th-placed QPR and Hull, who sit in the play-off places in fifth, a gap which theoretically could be closed by next week if results go their way.
"It feels a little more open for anyone to go for it," he said.
"Momentum seems to be playing a massive part in teams. We had a spell there where we were unbeaten in however many, seven or something, Derby are flying at the minute but it can easily change for everyone.
"What everyone is looking for is that momentum at the right time to try and get into that top six but at the minute it seems like it's there for anyone."
The defender was part of the Republic of Ireland squad that reached for the World Cup qualifying play-offs in dramatic fashion on Sunday by beating Hungary 3-2 in Budapest.
He expects the Championship will begin to take shape from next month.
"It's usually pretty tight until after November," Dunne added.
"I think in December you start to see it categorise off a little bit and teams get into little battles in different parts of the table but at the minute its anyone's game and we had a disappointing couple of weeks before the international break but it's not knocked any belief out of us.
"We're looking up, we can still see an opportunity."
