Not being local so not seeing or hearing local sports news what are the odds of Saido being at least on the bench tonight ?
Hoping to see him, even coming on my own this time as no one else was free to :-)

From allthe comments Hughes has made I would say odds on.
I would be more suprised if he wasn't on the bench at the very least and fully expect him to make his debut

He will be on the bench at the very least. I expect him to play some part.

Yeah, based on his comments he's 100% certain to be on the bench.
And he was speaking positively about him starting soon.
MH on Saido Berahino...
Saido hasn't stopped smiling to be honest. He is really excited to be here, and he will be in the squad on Wednesday. He has trained every day and looks really sharp. We have been really encouraged by what we have seen in training. His movement is tremendous. His work is of a high level, but he still has a bit of a way to go to get right up to speed. He will certainly play a part for us, and we don't envisage it being too long until he is able to come through 90 minutes. I am not sure why he was deemed not fit at West Brom because for us, he looks in good shape.
MH on Saido Berahino's strengths...
I was speaking to him after a session the other day, because his quality of runs were excellent. It was actually the rest of the team who needed to get used to what he can do, because we haven't had anybody who can make runs like he can for a long, long time. We want to be able to release him in behind, and maybe that is something we are going to have to work on, because he has attributes that can really help improve us. When he gets right up to speed then he is going to be a very good player for us.

How he said something along the lines of "His movement is fantastic, why West Brom weren't playing him is beyond me 'cos he looks fit to me" or summat like that... I'm thinking/hoping that he's going to start. He'd better do anyroad 'cos I've got him upfront in me Fantasy Football team  EDIT : Bah, FullerMagic with his edit. Yeah, that's the stuff he said up there ^ |

He likes Saido does Sparky.
Big time.
And, to be fair, now has to back his man.
But yes, SB will be on for a decent chunk I reckon but odds on not starting.

I think he'll start and get 60 minutes. But only two goals

He will start from the off and Hughes will bring him off ( not liturally) after 40 mins once he scores his hat trick
