Without knowing all the ins and out, I'm assuming that a fair amount of credit should be going to Kevin Phillips for the upturn in his form and confidence.

I just woke up from this weird dream where Berahino had scored in some cup game. Weird how the mind works. Bit far fetched as well.

Well done Saido. The first of many let's hope. Chuffed for you lad. You still owe us big time, but that's the first installment done and dusted.
PS - score at the Baggies and you become a cult hero for sure !!

That was a very big goal celebration from a very small crowd. The lad seems far more mobile these days and it's starting to pay off.

Fingers crossed he can build on his goal and good performances and have a great season. It seems to have been very well managed all round (in terms of Berahino's attitude too). Rowett tonight: "The first day I came in Saido came to see me and wanted to see where he stood and to discuss why previous regimes had maybe ostracised him, maybe? "He said he'd been to blame for some of his actions and he was honest, which is the first step for anyone who has done something wrong and wants to start afresh. "All I said to him was forget me - if you work hard for me then you'll win me over. I told him it's the rest of his mates he has to win over, he had to earn the respect of his team-mates back and for them to trust him.

I'd just like to say that I posted videos many times throughout the last couple of seasons showing that all saido's goals come from picking up the pieces off another more advanced striker. So far this season all aspects of his play are better, not only because he is working hard but because he has a striker alongside or in front of him. Tonight, again it is an improvised finish picking up the pieces in and around the box. He is a superb natural finisher, if we can get him going now he can still be top top class Yes when he had the spectacular season for the Baggies, he was playing as a part of a front two.

Won't win me over, Rowett has been here 5 minutes and can read all the bad stories he wants. That lad is bad news and should not be here no matter how many he scores. You just can't decide to play when you feel like it. The damage done last season. Not just by him could take DECADES to put right and I will never forget that.

So if he scores 35 goals this season and we go up as champions, he shows clear character progression with regards to teamwork and fitness and he's truly at the top of his game, you'd still be happy to see the back of him come July? Weird statement.

It's amazing how Hughes thought he'd make a great lone striker considering Hughes was one of the best of his generation. You can apply the same to Diouf. Only Bony could play the role and he fucked him off after a few games.

Luckily he doesn't have to win you over. And also, people make mistakes. I'm sure you've made many. He's also been on the recieving end of some bad luck and poor management. Either support him or don't, no one will care, the majority will be singing his name when he's banging them in, as after all that's what's important not anything else.

He's a hero now all of a sudden???
He was purchased for 12M to hit the ground running and perform. He failed to do that and his failure to do the job which he is paid 70k per week to do is one reason why this club went down and is playing in this league with the likes of Rotheram and Nottingham Forest. Don't forget his persistent lateness, being too heavy, and his drinking and womanising.
Is he a hero now? No,not in my eyes unless he blasts in 30 plus goals and gets us back up ASAP. He owes this club BIG TIME.

My mate is a Forest fan, it's very tongue in cheek and a wind up to him, chill out.
I've being going Stoke since 78 mate, so I have witnessed Forest's superb double European Cup triumph.
Sorry for any confusion.

Probably not the place for private jokes between rival fans. I'm glad he's scored at last, but pissed off we went down partly because of him. My dad's friend works down Clayton Wood so knows full well how unprofessional he was.

This is a massive moment in Saido’s career. He will have seen last night that the fans are desperate for him to succeed. He will have noted the superb reaction of his team mates to him breaking his duck. He knows he’s got a manager who has given him a great opportunity. He’s got Kevin Phillips seemingly doing a great job. He’s got a strike partner that he so obviously needs to succeed. He’s got two wide players who will create chances. He’s knuckled down, got fit and looks sharper. He’s dropped a division.
Now that he’s got this goal he simply has to build on this moment. No celebrations with 3 bottles of Crystal and a couple of hookers. No celebratory Big Mac. No turning up late to training cos he’s the big man again.
Next training session let’s hope he’s one of the first in and raring to go. Let’s hope he’s willing to work on the partnership with Afobe. He needs to listen to Phillips, discuss the two chances he missed last night and learn from them.
The really hard work starts here but the good thing is he’s starting from a positive basis. All the hurdles (excuses) have been removed. If he puts the work in he has the talent to succeed and become a fans’ favourite. If he fails to do so he’ll be letting down Rowett and Phillips massively.
From recent performances I really think he’s turned a corner. 🤞

Well and truly chuffed for Saido. Sounds like with all the hard work he has been doing is finally paying off.
Great to see his team mates all around him when he scored and of course, Bauer's constant championing of him on social media.
Hopefully this is the start for him now and he can make himself a new cult hero possibly following in the footsteps of the legendary Ricardo Fuller.
Bravo Saido!
