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
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
@MarcIles do you think Ngog will play on the wing or up front with Sordell? Also is mears injured?

@MarcIles I miss the anticipation of the teams these days - lost since they get leaked on the forums the day before the match.

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.

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.
