53' Close! Aneke again does well to hold off his man and tee up Williams who sends a volley towards the near post, but it's kept out by Randolph. Good football from the Addicks. Watch live: http://carabaocup.live #whufc 2 #cafc 0

Williams second decent shot.

Much better so far

Chunes

Aneke can hold the ball up and make his own chances. Bonne can't. But Chuks needs to stay fit.

Have we started to lull them yet?.

Oooh! Chuks heads on to Williams, whose shot is put out for a corner by Randolph

They are struggling to get to grips with Chuks physicality.

bloody hell Randolph, you don't have to save everything!

ForeverAddickted

Most Ive ever seen Williams as a goal threat

Aneke making a difference. Williams with two shots in game so far, this time forcing Randolph to turn it around the post. Better

They need to play together.

Chuks had been terrific. Knocks one down for Williams who hits it cleanly. Tipped round the post.

Do West Ham fans really consider their club to be in turmoil?

I understand if they don't like the stadium, but how could they consider their club to be 'in turmoil'.

I also know that they recently sold a player to West Brom. 

Is there something else I've missed?

Yeah, because they won the World Cup in 1966 they think they should be walking the Premier League.

Oztumer tracks back like a midget on speed.

Williams with 2 shots on target tonight is superb news.

Oztumer trying to keep up with Massuako was like a kid chasing his Dad.

Aneke is our most skillful player, surely he has to be regular starter

I like him but most skillful????

You know how much LB loves his central midfielders

55' Very nearly an own goal as Purrington's cross is flicked on by a Hammers head and over for a corner. Watch live: http://carabaocup.live #whufc 2 #cafc 0

Sven_the_Viking

Such a handful. First to a corner. Battles and puts lapslie clear down the right.

56' It's been a much, much better first 10 minutes of the half from Charlton. Watch live: http://carabaocup.live #whufc 2 #cafc 0

Perhaps the transfer rumours have turned Bonne's head. 

Sven_the_Viking

Charlton the better side since the break.

aliwibble

Doughty crosses from the left, Balbuena heads out for a corner from the right.

Pavoren007

We’ve shown up 2nd half. Much much better

aliwibble

Oz's corner goes over everyone for a goal kick

Lordflashheart

Lapslie does not belong on a pitch where professional is played - sorry - but he is Natl League at best
