Scott Parker is a man of action.

Mohamadou Kante, former Swansea favourite Joel Piroe and Ezra Mayers are coming on for the second half.

Soungoutou Magassa, Morato and Taty Castellanos are the players withdrawn.

Let's see what they're made of.

Scott Twine, a free-kick master, scores a stunning set-piece opener to give his side an unexpected lead.

It was almost a foregone conclusion that Twine would find the net when he earned himself a free-kick in a great position but he does so in beautiful style as he curls it beyond the wall and into the corner.

Wolves have been the better team almost the entire game but their quality appears to be deserting them in the final third. They will need to fix that if they want a spot in the automatic promotion spots tonight.

While they head for an orange segment at Ashton Gate we go again at Wrexham, Cardiff and at Oxford in League One too.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde provides a sumptuous cross but it doesn't find a Wolves team-mate.

Instead, Marshall Munetsi is lying on the floor, his hand covering his face, after a clash of heads.

It is just not happening in that box for Wolves tonight.

Wolves are becoming increasingly frustrated.

We've said sloppy a few times. They're very loose on the ball.

The basics aren't good enough at the moment.

Far from a dream start for Scott Parker at the helm of West Ham. Welcome back to management - a punishing 45 minutes.

We should not forget West Ham have beaten both Wrexham and Lincoln 6-0 already this season. They came into this game unbeaten on the road too.

So huge credit must go to Cardiff, newly promoted and have not let West Ham have anything their own way tonight.

Brian Barry-Murphy has an absolute gem in Jack Moylan. A hat-trick hero who is in stunning, stunning form.

Jack Moylan has scored six goals in his past five games and is the first player to score a hat-trick against West Ham since a chap named Erling Haaland.

He was playing for Lincoln in League One six months ago... what do the next six months have in store?

Wolves have a corner and you can see Ladislav Krejci's hungry eyes hoping for a chance to guide it in the net.

The delivery is curled right into the keeper's gloves. As you were.

It's been a competitive half of football in Oxford but it still feels like this game is yet to come to life.

Both sides have had half-chances but nothing clear-cut after 45 minutes of action.

The Reading players run down the tunnel while Oxford's players are applauded off.

The officials are booed off the pitch, Oxford's fans feel they should have had a penalty for a challenge in the area on Tyler Goodrham just before the break.

Bristol City are looking much more energetic now as the Robins steal the ball near the halfway line.

They move into their attacking half but the resulting cross is too far away from a team-mate and Wolves can cut it out.

West Ham fans were disgusted with their side when they were 2-0 down, I doubt their mood improved with the third.

You saw a flailing of arms from the Wolves players when the free-kick was given away.

Because they know that's what Scott Twine does.

The hosts will certainly be the happier of the two teams at the break.

It's been a game of few chances, with Callum Brittain coming the closest to netting.

But Wrexham have been so much better than they were at Sheffield United on Friday night, and the home fans applaud as referee Oliver Langford blows his whistle to signal half time.

A reminder that a win for Boro tonight will guarantee that Kim Hellberg's men go into the international break at the top of the Championship table.

Scott Parker's first half-time team-talk is going to be interesting.

Cardiff have been excellent, let's make that clear, they thoroughly deserve their lead, as obliging as the visitors have been.

Jack Moylan brought fireworks night forward 24 hours with an absolute rocket into the top corner on 11 minutes and though Taty Castallanos was denied by a sprawling save from Nathan Trott, Moylan won and converted a penalty and then deflected in from a corner two minutes later.

A miserable night for the 3,200 away fans, and it's not nearly over yet.

Taty Castellanos works space for a shot but it's low and tame and straight at Nathan Trott.

The keeper is however left scrambling with the last kick of the half as a speculative effort from well over half way drifts over his head and bounces narrowly wide of the post.

All square at the break in League One.
