MATCHDAY LIVE: Wanderers 4 Hull City 1

This live event has finished

4:55pm

That's it. Best performance of the season? Probably. Match report up soon.

4:51pm

Someone said they had money on 4-2 earlier.... almost want Hull to score just so their bet comes up!

4:51pm

Four minutes added time.

4:47pm

Wheater on for Mark Davies. Welcome back Wheats!

4:36pm

Medo already in ref's bad books. Looked like a final warning for a foul on Boyd there.

4:34pm

Medo on for his debut. Ngog off.

4:32pm

Scramble in the box after Spearing's corner. Dawson had already hit the post and Chester cleared one effort from Ngog off the line, but when Alonso drilled another low effort back in, he cleverly flicked the ball past Stockdale for his second.

4:30pm

GOAL Wanderers

4:29pm

Great break by Wanderers. Craig Davies plays in Pratley, whose shot on the stretch brings a great save out of Stockdale.

4:28pm

Brady free kick took a clip off the wall and wrong-footed Bogdan. Game on again?

4:28pm

GOAL Hull

4:24pm

Dawson booked there for a foul on Simpson. Think the Hull sub should have been booked moments earlier for his cynical foul on Chung-Yong.

4:23pm

Smoke bomb off in the Hull end. Things starting to get a bit fractious among the away fans.

4:21pm

Boyd and Simpson thrown on for Hull. Gedo and Koren off.

4:18pm

Sordell looked disappointed going off there. He has put in a good hour, but hadn't been holding on to the ball all that much in the second half.

4:17pm

Attendance 17,655

4:17pm

Craig Davies on for Sordell

4:12pm

Brady curls a much better free kick in, and Bruce heads over the top. Big chance.

4:10pm

Brady curls one high, wide and less-than-handsome. Terrible effort.

4:09pm

Free-kick right on the edge of the area for Hull. Spearing foul on Elmohamady - thought it was a pen for a moment.

4:06pm

Pratley tries his luck from distance. Wide of the target.

4:04pm

Players coming back out now. 

4:02pm

If three goals don't go in between 45-52 minutes, I'm going to be thoroughly disappointed....

3:50pm

Half time. Great half for Wanderers who exploded out of the blocks.

3:46pm

Three mins added time.

3:45pm

Wanderers have lost 26 points from winning positions this season. It's going to take a lot to add to that now.

3:44pm

Good defensive work there from Spearing to clear a dangerous cross from Brady.

3:38pm

Chungy up and about now. Walking a bit gingerly off the pitch. And I don't mean those dodgy highlights he had a couple of months back...

3:37pm

Fans unhappy about a challenge by Quinn on Chungy there. Ref didn't give anything but he's still down.

3:35pm

Everything a yard quicker and more urgent so far. Chung-Yong's performance has been especially pleasing after a poor show at Derby.

3:29pm

And now the snow starts to fall at the Reebok.

3:28pm

 
Mark Davies.

3:28pm

Up to 14th as the table stands... 

3:26pm

They are starting to swing a few crosses in. One of their main strengths.

3:26pm

Hull starting to recover some sort of poise now. They don't score that many goals so it looks a very long road back from here.

3:23pm

Trying to remember a better start from Wanderers but struggling. They have been playing more like a 4-3-3, with Chungy pushed out to the left. Ngog and Sordell pace causing all sorts of problems.

3:20pm

Great football again. Ricketts and Ngog combine on the right and the cross is sidefooted against the outside of the post by Sordell.

3:19pm

Brady's angled free kick just hit the bar. Koren then blasted the rebound over the top.

3:14pm

Three goals in the first seven minutes. Don't think I've seen a start like that since I've been covering Wanderers.

3:12pm

Some also being escorted...

3:11pm

This is amazing stuff. Some Hull fans leaving already.

3:11pm

Dawson makes it three! Spearing corner headed by Dawson, seeimingly cleared off the line, but then turned in at the far post by Sordell.

Sordell then pointed to Dawson to indicate it was his goal.

3:08pm

GOAL Wanderers!

3:07pm

Mark Davies drills home from the edge of the box. Ngog had been shouting for a penalty after going down near the penalty spot but Chung-Yong laid the ball back and though Stockdale got a good hand to Davies's shot, he couldn't keep it out. Wanderers rampant.

3:05pm

GOAL! Wanderers

3:03pm

Brilliant goal! Mark Davies scampered into the final third, played a ball out to Chung-Yong, whose cross was headed home at full length by Darren Pratley. Superb finish.

3:02pm

GOAL! Wanderers

3:01pm

Sordell and Ngog up front, looks 4-4-2 from the start.

2:58pm

About 1,200 Hull fans here (guestimate). They haven't seen too many defeats on their travels this season.

2:57pm

Looks like they are on their way out now. Caught Colin on the hop... he had to play another song!

2:57pm

Is it me or are these players late?

2:52pm

Bitterly cold day at the Reebok. Hopefully the football will be a step up from Tuesday night at Derby.

2:48pm

Good to see Medo Kamara on the bench for the first time. DF said there was "no rush" to include him on Friday. But wonder whether we will get a glimpse?

2:44pm

Nothing sinister about Stu Holden's exclusion from the squad, I'm told. Will get it on the record after the game if I can.

2:33pm

Quite a few asking about Holden. Saw him yesterday and he was absolutely fine. DF wanted to get him on against Derby but said after the game that it was too finely poised. Will ask again after the match but stress that his rehab is still MILES off being finished. He won't be playing week in week out this season, in my opinion.

2:31pm

Internet suddenly gone a bit rubbish at the Reebok. Not often that happens.

2:30pm

Just writing out the quiz questions for this week's Wanderer. Need some inspiration. Anyone got any good ones?

2:10pm

 
No injuries reported on Friday. DF hinted at a possible change in shape, so could be 4-4-2. Ngog obviously capable of playing out wide.

2:08pm

Hull (3-5-1-1) Stockdale; Chester, Hobbs, Bruce; Elmohamady, Quinn, Meyler, Evans, Brady; Koren; Gedo.

Subs: Jakupovic, Rosenior, Simpson, Cairney, Fathi, Proschwitz, Boyd

2:06pm

 
Not 100 per cent about Holden, but DF said Vela wouldn't be playing for a couple of weeks. Read the BN!!

2:05pm

What do we make of that then? Eagles, Mears, Craig Davies out - Alonso, Sordell and Mark Davies in.

2:04pm

BWFC: Bogdan, Ricketts, Knight, Dawson, Alonso, Spearing, Pratley, Chung-Yong, M Davies, Sordell, Ngog

Subs: Lonergan, Wheater, Kamara, Eagles, De Ridder, C Davies, K Davies

2:02pm

 

 
People might luck out every once and a while and get it right, but certainly since DF came in, I'd bet no-one has consistently got it correct.

1:56pm

Interesting to see who's rotated today. No fresh injury worries, and Keith Andrews the only player currently in the treatment room.

1:53pm

Good afternoon folks - teams not far away.

Good to see that Freedman is getting something from Pratley, Knight and Alonso - more than Coyle managed to do.

Very good performance yesterday,though would like to see some consistency in performances from now to end of season.
Perhaps the team have found their level in the lower half of the Championship and have a new found confidence because of that.I'd like to think the better players - Wheater and Holden will now be given the chance to drive the team forward.
