What has surprised Bolton Wanderers new boy Chris Forino in Portugal?

 

IT would be wrong to say that Wanderers have left the pain of Wembley behind them completely but the blue skies above their training camp on the Algarve have helped them focus on what is ahead, says new signing Chris Forino.

 

 

The former Wycombe defender was unsure at first whether the events of May 18 would affect the mood at his new club, or whether he would have to sit tight as others worked through their issues.

 

 

But not quite 50 days on from the play-off final, and with another double session of training completed, Forino was happy to report no signs of disillusionment from the sun-kissed pitches of Portugal.

 

 

“It was a bit of a shock, really,” he told The Bolton News. “First of all, it is a great group of lads. But the hangover that people will be talking about, it isn’t here. The boys understand it was a massive disappointment but there is none of that bad feeling, or anything hanging over us at the moment.

 

 

 

“We touched on it (the play-off final) the first day that we got here but pretty much hit the ground running after that. It hasn’t been mentioned.
