Steve Clarke again refused to play to the crowd as he prepares his high-flying West Brom side to face Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday.

Clarke also revealed he has received encouragement from Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, who he worked as assistant to at Chelsea. "Jose sent me a little text before the game at the weekend (4-2 win at Sunderland). It was a nice text," he said. "There were some good things in it although it's private between me and Jose. But it was about encouragement and just to keep going and to keep working. "I do just try and be myself on the training ground and in the press conferences. I always said when I took the job, although I've worked with a number of top coaches, I would just be myself."
