Sam Allardyce is looking for his side to bounce back from last weekend's massive disappointment with all three points at Fratton Park today.
The Hammers were sent tumbling out of the FA Cup by League One side Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough last weekend courtesy of Chris O'Grady's late winner.With the Hammers now out of both Cups - having been equally humiliated by Aldershot in the Carling Cup last August - attention turns exclusively to the league programme and it's skint Pompey who provide the latest opposition this afternoon.
Live updates from the south coast will be provided throughout the afternoon on our forum match thread, which may be found here: www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=137613.
With the match unfortunately not being one of those chosen for live broadcast, it's to the radio that we turn for live commentary (although there is a small possibility of one feed becoming available, as always use at your own risk).
Any available audio or video feeds will be listed, as usual, in our streaming thread at www.kumb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=133293 (a number of which have been posted already).
KUMB.com will, as always, bringing you match summaries at both half time and the final whistle, with the thoughts of both managers to follow later this evening.
