Stay on this page for regular updates
Kick off 3pm
5/Early pressure from the Irons but hosts clear their lines
7/ HAMMERS BEHIND: Big cross in from right and Griggs header beats Hart who might have done better 1-0
10/ Wigan find back of net again – thankfully linesman’s flag up
20/ First corner to Wigan and cleared by the Irons – shot from distance then over top
21/ Byram gets clear down left but crosses low into keeper’s arm
28/ Hammers creating very little and Wigan hold whip hand without making plenty of possession count
30/ Ogbonna gets his head to a ball in as Grigg goes in looking for his and Wigan’s second goal
34/ Obiang injured and being stretchered off after falling awkwardly following a midfield challenge – Oxford preparing to come on.
Can we get through any match without an injury – OXFORD ON
37/ Another important intervention by Ogbonna as Wigan our forward.
We understand it’s a knee problem for Obiang
40/ Wigan still pressing and from corner nice, clearance to Chicharito almost sets him away
44/ Jacobs tries his luck from 22 yards but weak effort and Hart collects
47/ Powell close range drive blocked by Cresswell
48 Martinez win great ball down right – slides in fine cross and after two shots are blocked ball falls to Oxford who slices wide and high
Half time: 1-0: The Hammers have been second best all over the pitch and but for sharper finishing the League One team would be further ahead. However, for all the build up there’s a real lack of anything serious at the business end from the Latics. West Ham started brightly but soon ran out of ideas as the hosts dominated play. Their best chance came near the end of the half with Oxford firing high and wide. Beyond that next to zero in any offensive sense. David Moyes needs to bring the proverbial half time rocket into play.
2nd Half: Mario ON but Masuaku sent off after tjree minutes of second half following spitting incident.
Sorry guys technical problems – look for reports later after game
