Wigan v Hull Live!
97 And the game's second ref Dean blows up for full-time. It's finished 1-0 here thanks to Watson's goal. Thanks for tuning into today's commentary. From me, Elliot it's goodbye for now. Don't forget to follow the match report & reaction next.[LNB]96 Mendy takes it and he aims for the back-post, Folan rises, but he can't get a good enough contact and it's a Wigan goal-kick.[LNB]95 Dean calls for a drop ball, no, actually he changes his mind and Bramble hoofs it back to Duke. Hull then win a free-kick on the half-way line[LNB]94 A clash between Kilbane and Melchiot sees the latter land awkwardly and he's down on the ground and he needs treatment.[LNB]93 De Ridder takes the ball into the corner, to try and take the sting out of the game, but Hull get a goal-kick.[LNB]93 Ref Marriner walks over to the touchline and tells fourth official Mike Dean that he can't continue. Marrniner takes his shirt off and hands the sweaty garment to Dean, who receives a cheer when he walks onto the field.[LNB]91 Wigan have a free-kick in Hull's half. They are taking their time.[LNB]90 Four minutes of added time announced as De Ridder goes down the right, he gets his head up and plays it across the ground to Kapo, he steadies himself and blasts one goalwards but it goes narrowly over.[LNB]89 Ricketts hits it long, but Wigan get it away. Brown makes a great tackle on Folan.[LNB]88 Rodallega goes off the field to receive treatment as Hull come at Wigan.[LNB]87 Rodallega goes down claiming a foul by Ricketts, but Marrniner gives a throw-in to Hull.[LNB]86 Hull win a couple of throw-ins, and neither of them come to anything.[LNB]85 The crowd are bouncing now![LNB]83 The throw-in comes in eventally, Duke punches it away, but he hits the deck and he struggles to get to his feet, while Duke is on the ground Watson picks up the ball and dinks it over the Hull keeper to give Wigan the lead. Wigan at last make the break-through!!![LNB]82 Zaki is down hurt as Wigan have a throw-in.[LNB]81 HULL SUB Fagan isn't risked after being booked and Halmosi comes on.[LNB]80 Kapo continues Wigan pressure down the left, but his cross sails behind for a Hull goal-kick.[LNB]78 De Ridder crosses into the box, Rodallega gets to the ball first and he heads it goalwards and he hits the post, the ball cannons off the woodwork back to Rodallega and he tries an overhead kick, but that goes behind for a goal-kick.[LNB]77 Kapo finds De Ridder on the right as Wigan come forward and keep possesion in Hull's half until Figueroa's cross goes straight to Kilbane.[LNB]76 WIGAN SUB Scharner comes off making his 100th league appearance and Kapo comes on.[LNB]75 Melchiot and Watson try to link up in Hull's penalty area, but Melchiot's flick doesn't come off.[LNB]74 The game gets end-to-end until Bramble shows some great defensive play to marshall the ball out for a Wigan goal-kick.[LNB]73 Wigan are wasteful and give the ball straight back to Hull. Giovanni finds Manucho in the box, who tries to run onto the ball, but he brings down Melchiot and it's a Wigan free-kick.[LNB]72 Hull are pressing for a goal, but they concede a free-kick.[LNB]71 WIGAN SUB: Mido comes off and is replaced by Zaki.[LNB]70 Marrniner plays a Hull advantage, Kilbane crosses from the left, it falls to Fagan wide on the right, he crossed to Manucho and he lays it off to Marney, but his shot is well over.[LNB]69 Figueroa halts Folan on the wing, the Wigan left-back has put in another solid perforamce today.[LNB]68 Fagan flys into a challenge, on a booking, a concedes a foul. Marriner doesn't take action, the Hull striker is a lucky boy.[LNB]67 Wigan play a short corner and Watson is given time to crack a shot, and he does just that and I thought it was in, but it hit the side netting![LNB]67 Rodallega continues to graft and he earns a throw-in in Hull's half. De Ridder puts a decent cross into the box, aiming for Mido, and it's a corner.[LNB]66 Garcia tries a long-distance effort, but it's well wide.[LNB]65 Wigan have a throw-in in a dangerous position, but Hull have a free-kick after Bramble concedes a foul.[LNB]64 Watson needs to put a better delivery, but again his cross is short...Bramble picks up the loose ball and flicks it onto Scharner who tries to get an effort on target, but it goes over.[LNB]63 Mido tries to work an opening, but he is snuffed out. Hull get his cross away, but Wigan come again from Kilbane's poor clearance and Garcia concedes a free-kick for knicking Watson.[LNB]62 Watson takes a couple of corners, the second which forces Duke to fist the ball away while being under pressure from Figueroa.[LNB]61 Rodallega fluffs a chance, before Watson forces a corner for Wigan.[LNB]60 SUBZayatte, who has been struggling since the first half, comes off for Folan.[LNB]59 YELLOW CARD Fagan gets a yellow for his wild swipe at De Ridder.[LNB]59 Mido heads Hull's free-kick away, before Fagan makes a poor tackle.[LNB]58 YELLOW CARD Bramble is booked for his late challenge.[LNB]58 Garcia gets on the ball again, down the right, and he takes on Bramble who slides in and brings the Hull man down.[LNB]57 Giovanni goes down the left and gets the better of Melchiot, before crossing it towards Garcia, but the Australian can't find the target.[LNB]56 Wigan still have the ball in Hull's half, they try to work an opening, but Rodallega gives a foul away.[LNB]55 Wigan have a throw-in in Hull's half, they spray it left-to right to Melchiot, who finds Scharner, he crosses but Hull have it away.[LNB]54 Giovanni and Fagan combine before Marney tries his luck from distance, but his left-foot shot sails over the bar.[LNB]53 Rodallega tries a one-two with Scharner, Scharner's pass is poor, but Rodallega battles to win the ball from Ricketts although he is adjudged to have fouled the Hull defender.[LNB]52 Mido gets into a good position, but he can't find his strikepartner Rodallega. Meanwhile Brown is struggling because he's lost his boot![LNB]51 Scharner is penalised for a hand-ball from Turner's blast, which is slightly unfair considering the Wigan man was only a yard away.[LNB]50 Marney takes it again and finds Turner, but the defender can't get his header on target.[LNB]49 The cross comes in from Marney and its angled to the near post, Manucho powers a head at goal, but Kirkland gets a strong fist and deflects it behind for another corner.[LNB]49 Hull look sharper on the ball and Fagan wins the away side a corner.[LNB]48 Mido concedes a free-kick, but Wigan get back onto the ball until the move breaks down.[LNB]47 Watson steps up to take the kick and it is an abysmal effort which trickles to the first Hull defender and they get it away.[LNB]46 Wigan have the ball, and De Ridder is seeing a lot of the ball in the opening of the second-half, he tries to find Mido in the box, but Hull have it away...then Melchiot is brought down and he wins a free-kick in Hull's half.[LNB]45 De Ridder's first touch sees him concede a foul.[LNB]45 Wigan get the second half under way with N'Zogbia off and De Ridder taking his place.[LNB] A pretty uneventful first half has seen the draw shorten into 13/10, while Wigan are out to 11/10 and Hull can now be backed at 4/1. [LNB]The Goal scorers continue to be dominated by the pre-match Scharner money, but Skybet are starting to the think the No Scorer option will end up the winner - that's just 9/4 now.[LNB]48 And Marriner blows up for half-time. Mido is shaking his head as he walks off the field, he and Steve Bruce know he should have given his side the lead after a dominant opening 45 minutes. But it's 0-0 here at the JJB at half-time.[LNB]48 Wigan have a free-kick, but N'Zogbia still is suffering and he comes off with seconds remaining. No substitute mind, Wigan end the first half with 10 men.[LNB]47 N'Zogbia and Zayatte both come back on after receiving treatment.[LNB]46 The play is delayed Zayatte receiving treatment following his involvement in stopping N'Zogbia's run.[LNB]44 N'Zogbia goes on a mazy run, he's tackled by Mendy but Wigan still have it and Melchiot picks the ball up on the right byline and he plays it square across the box aiming for Rodallega, but the striker showed a lack of aniticipation and it's a Hull goal-kick.[LNB]44 Giovanni has it on the left, he tries to work a yard and blast one, but it's blocked.[LNB]43 Bramble finds Watson wide on the right, he wins a throw-in, which is taken quickly and Brown crosses it into the box, but it comes to nothing.[LNB]42 Kilbane lines this one up, he fires it into the box, but it doesn't beat the first man.[LNB]41 Garica wins a free-kick now, on the right, after Figueroa made a silly challenge.[LNB]40 Waston puts a high ball into Hull's box, but Hull have it away with Giovanni and he gets a free-kick after Brown had a tug at his shirt.[LNB]39 YELLOW CARD Mendy is booked for his late, late challenge.[LNB]39 Kilbane gets treatment for a cut eye-brow as Mendy flys into a high tackle on N'Zogbia, which he completely mistimes and N'Zogbia is rolling on the floor with pain.[LNB]38 Garcia gets onto the ball and wins Hull a free-kick.[LNB]37 HULL SUB Garica comes on for Dawson, who could be struggling with injury.[LNB]37 Wigan enjoy a spell of possession, they work it out wide to N'Zogbia who finds Mido, but he can only head wide.[LNB]36 Fagan shows his frustration as Hull give the ball away yet again. Wigan throw-in in their own half.[LNB]35 Rodallega tries to get the better of Dawson with a cheeky back-heel but the Hull left-back gets it away.[LNB]34 Fagan gives the ball away, Mido finds himself out on the left and he gets his head up and tries to pick out Rodallega, but the cross is slightly too high.[LNB]33 Corner comes in from Watson, but Duke has it.[LNB]32 Hull keep giving the ball away and as I say that they do just that and Brown finds Rodallega who runs at pace before unleashing a drive at goal. Duke gets something on it and it eventually goes behind for a corner.[LNB]31 Figueroa and Mendy have a battle on Wigan's left, and the former is fouled and earns the Latics a free-kick.[LNB]30 Fagan and Bramble tussle, with Bramble coming out on top and getting the ball clear. Hull throw-in.[LNB]29 Hull have a free-kick in Wigan territory - Dawson flights it in, but Wigan deal with it easily.[LNB]28 Andy from Kansas, USA thinks Mido is going to score today and he has the chance to after Rodallega tees him up 6-yards out, but he skies his effort![LNB]27 Figueroa is predominatley left-footed but he tries a cross with his right, and my esteemed colleague James is slating Wigan's left-back after his effort goes out for a throw-in on the other side.[LNB]26 N'Zogbia and Figueroa work well down the left, before winning a throw-in deep in Hull's half.[LNB]25 N'Zogbia and Ricketts enjoy another tussle, before Watson tries a one-two the edge of the box, but it breaks down.[LNB]24 Hull try to get numbers into the box as Giovanni has it wide on the right, he swings a cross in, but Wigan have it away.[LNB]23 N'Zogbia shows great skill to nutmeg Ricketts, but then the whistle goes and N'Zogbia is penalised. Hull free-kick.[LNB]22 Rodallega strikes the free-kick but it's straight at Duke.[LNB]21 YELLOW CARD: Ricketts is booked for bringing Scharner down.[LNB]21 Wigan go route-one, Mido flicks it onto Rodallega, who in turn heads it into the path of Scharner who tries to get one-on-one, but he is brought down and Marriner blows for a free-kick.[LNB]19 Figueroa puts Wigan under the cosh with a poor clearance, Hull try to work it down the left and Dawson hits a deep cross, but it's a Wigan goal-kick.[LNB]18 Melchiot picks up the loose ball he puts a cross in, but Hull have it and Ricketts tries to counter, but N'Zogbia tracks back and puts a crowd-pleasing tackle in.[LNB]17 Mido commits another foul and it's a Hull free-kick. Hull get it forward to Manucho and he flicks it on into the penalty area, which causes Wigan a problem until Melchiot hooks it away[LNB]16 Wigan win a free-kick in Hull's half...Watson sends it into the box, Hull clear it but only as far as Brown, but he can't get his effort on target.[LNB]15 Wigan enjoy a spell on the ball but Hull are pressuring Wigan's players with Marney and Fagan doing well.[LNB]14 Rodallega plays a one-two and then picks out Mido on the edge of the 18-yard-box, but the Egyptian striker blasts it over.[LNB]13 Giovanni is proving a nuisance for Boyce and Hull get a throw-in deep in Wigan's half...Ricketts takes it quickly but hand's Wigan a throw-in.[LNB]12 Figueroa battles with Mendy and wins a throw-in.[LNB]11 Watson has a good shot from distance, but Duke holds it easily enough.[LNB]10 N'Zogbia tries to take on Ricketts, but the Frenchman falls over. Hull throw-in.[LNB]9 Wigan have possession down the right and Scharner gets to the byline with a clever turn, but he can't find Mido in the penalty area.[LNB]8 Wigan continue the end-to-end start to the match, but Hull gain possession until Fagan's shot is well wide.[LNB]6 Hull respond and move forward with the ball, Fagan chases after a through-ball and causes Kirkland a problem, but the England stopper eventually claims the ball.[LNB]5 Brown steals possession and Wigan break, Brown finds N'Zogbia on the left and he fizzes a ball across the box, and Watson fails to make a connection from a yard out. I think Duke got a finger on the ball then.[LNB]4 Hull win a corner, Kilbane takes and Mido has it behind for another corner.[LNB]3 Wigan continue to start well as Watson pumps a free-kick into the box, but Mido gives a foul away.[LNB]2 The corner is taken, and it is cleared to Figueroa and he puts another ball into the box, but Hull have a goal-kick.[LNB]1 Figueroa has the ball on the left, he drifts into Hull's half and puts a cross into the box...a gust of wind catches the ball and it crashes off the cross-bar with Duke tipping it behind for a corner.[LNB]0 From the kick-off Hull win a throw-in, down the left Fagan makes a forward run but the ball over the top is too close to Kirkland in goal.[LNB]0 Hull get us under-way kicking left-to-right.[LNB] The players are out and we're live next!!![LNB]Paul from London says: " Wigan need a win today, I am going for a 2-0 win for the home side."[LNB] My prediction is 1-0 Wigan with N'Zogbia netting the winner - which is priced at 33/1 for anyone interested!
