If that is genuinely Spearing then it looks like a broken bone in his foot and a season ender far more than it does a bruised toenail!

According to the Bolton news jay will be fit for the Leicester game..

They sometimes put those on to keep the swelling down for scan purposes.. Doesn't necessarily mean that he's fvcked it.

Well blow me down. I didn't have that fella ^ as a Twitterer! Down with the kids

Andrews? How do I find him!? #stalkeralert

From JayJays Instagram yesterday:

I think that is him looking at the evidence.

It looks like he is wearing jeans that are turned up at the bottom. He is a scouser after all but not only that he has incredibly short legs so he probably can't find any jeans that fit him.

I'm going for real and not fake.

Good point. Fingers crossed!

You come out with some shite, you, but that takes the fecking biscuit.

How the juddering feck can you possibly 'know' what the damage is from that photo? Dear me.

Perhaps if you tried reading the post instead of doing your usual Harry Enfield "Self Righteous Brother" impression you'd see that I was merely saying that a protective boot would "often" indicate something like a broken bone MORE than it would a bruised toe nail.

It may just be precautionary, it may even not be Spearing.

It could well be as Boltonboris points out, a mere precautionary measure to reduce swelling.

I never said it was owt. I said it looks more like something serious than something trivial.

Dougie seems to think he'll be right for tomorrow

what does he know??? Spearing's wearing a boot FFS!!!

(in all honesty - didn't look like anything at all from where i sat when he went off... others on here said it "looked bad" - so I assumed I'd missed summat on account of a ginger bloke tripping down the stairs! )

Well if it was a case of getting a little kick on a brusied toe doesn't matter how little it was that'll sting a fair bit

Hopefully he'll be reet.

I can see what you wrote - I've quoted it. I'm well aware as to the myriad reasons for placing his foot and ankle in a protective boot, but you, oh no. Would you like me to repeat what you wrote as you seem to have conveniently forgotten. You wrote - it looks like a broken bone in his foot! No it doesn't. It LOOKS LIKE his foot's been placed in a protective boot, and that is ALL any of us can see - even you!

My point being that a picture like that would lead me to think it MIGHT be more serious than a damaged toenail.

Perhaps that's one mahoosive assumption. I don't think it's entirely unreasonable though.

me neither - seeing a boot like that would lead me to believe it was more than a toenail.... it does look like overkill!! I don't know how a boot like that would stop swelling in the toe...

anyway - the mood music seems good - cos Spearing was what made our midfield work on saturday - Medo doesn't have the same total-control influence (at least - he didn't on saturday)

I think Medo is more of a genuine sitter in front of a back four whereas Spearing is a bit more "up and at em". I suspect Spearing's approach is more suited to the rough and tumble of the championship than Medo's is. Both good players though. If Spearing is missing we do look light in midfield and as you say Pratley is an honest runner and great athlete and has done a good job but he's far from ideal in certain situations, especially tricky away games like tomorrow night where a little craft is likely to be needed.

I am concerned if Spearing is out because we've had recent success through a bit of midfield rotation with Pratley and Medo, but Spearing has been a constant in there, and I think is a big miss.

Holden may be recalled but I suspect judging by what the Sheff Weds fans have said is a long way short of Spearing at the moment. Vela is probably not going to be thrown in there at this stage. Which leaves us pretty light in midfield seeing as Andrews appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth.

I see no reason to play holden given the evidence we have of his progress - I'd be much happier chucking Vela in there if we have to - he's got plenty to play for - he knows the players and the system (prob. better than holden) - and if he's not ready for the championship NOW - then why have him at all?

Didn't Dougie say earlier in the season that he felt Vela had been chucked into the team too early and was suffering from it a bit?

That would suggest to me, we're unlikely to throw him into this pressure cooker situation. In any case I don't see Vela coping in a midfield two at this stage. When he did play he was part of a three.

how long ago was that? i'd have expected dougie to have done some work with him since then... also - him not being ready or the occasion being too pressured is not the same kind of argument as one which says he doesn't suit the formation... I was disputing the former - not the latter! I don't think I've seen anywhere near enough of Vela to judge where he best fits into dougie's formation/shape plans...

It looks, to me, more like he's going skiing and hasn't yet put his left ski boot on.
