West Bromwich Albion defender Neil Clement is hoping for a change in fortunes this weekend with a call up to the first team to face Portsmouth at Wembley in the FA Cup Semi final. Clement was sent on loan to Hull City in February but has recently been recalled to West Brom after some woeful defending by the Baggies .
I personally thought it was the end of Albions longest serving player but luckily he's back.
Clement said "We've got a big squad of players and everyone's itching to play in that game. But I can't say I'm not up for it, that's for sure." *
Clement also said "I'm feeling ready for it but we'll see what the manager wants to do, a game like that doesn't come along very often, if I get the shout I'll do my best"
Tony Mowbray said that "Clement gives you an assurance, confidence with the ball at his feet and a wealth of knowledge"
I'm personally hoping that this just gives us the kickstart we need for the final run in and that Neil can calm down our ever shaking defence
