West Brom boss Steve Clarke has tasked his squad with getting their season back on track when they entertain West Ham on Sunday.
Clarke insists he enjoyed his time as number two to Gianfranco Zola with the Hammers despite the pair being sacked at the end of the 2009-10 season. He is also a big admirer of West Ham boss Sam Allardyce and believes it is unfair to stereotype the style of football his teams have produced during his managerial career. Clarke said: "It is a good club, I enjoyed my experience there and it's good to see them doing well in the Premier League. "They have passionate fans who care about their team, they try to play football the right way. "I don't care what anyone says about Sam and his teams, he always tries to play football the right way. "They try to be positive, they try to get balls in the box, they try to score goals, and for me that is always the right way to play football."
