Wigan 1 – 0 West Ham
Latics finally beat West Ham at home and climbed out of the relegation zone. With Sunderland and Derby coming up, we have got two massive games ahead, which may indicate whether we stay up or not.
Marlon King made his home debut but new loan signing, Erik Hagen, didn’t make the 16. There was no sign of the two left-backs either. Emmerson Boyce replaced Bramble at the back. Bramble dropped to the bench for the first time this season.
Latics dominated the match, I lost count of the chances we had! Emmerson Boyce should have put Latics ahead but the ball went through his legs, when it seemed easier to poke the ball in! Ryan Taylor caused problems with his free kicks but it was only on the stroke of half time that we managed to score. Taylor whipped in a free kick and Kevin Kilbane looped an header over Robert Green. Whether he meant it or not, who cares!
It was all Latics in the second half. Michael Brown should have done better but Green saved his shot. Heskey went off injured, again, but his replacement, Marcus Bent, was put clean thorough only to put the ball clean over the bar. Valencia even hit both posts with a shot! He picked up a loose ball, from a corner, and sent in a viscous shot, which hit the post, flashed across goal, hit the other post and straight into Green’s hands. Hearts where in mouths when Craig Bellamy went clear, but his shot went high and wide and West Ham’s only real chance of the match, went begging.Thankfully Latics held on, but with Sunderland up next, we need to avoid defeat, obviously, a win would be nice!
See You Later!
