Perhaps those injuries are training ground related? I know that the facilities at Marlow Rd were considered sub-par but the surface itself can be an aggravating factor and considering it is the surface that players use day-to-day, I wonder whether the move to London might have seen Forino being available far more. Still hope to find that out but if not, perhaps we will find out whether another club is able to resolve that for him.
They lean away from us because of the Bolton affiliation but they’re good mates with quite a few of our current and ex players and the teeth sponsored the terrace before they sponsored Bolton so I’m sure they still love us really
They're Bolton fans while their mum owns it, but Toby definitely still keeps an eye on us from afar.
They're semi in the public eye every now and again so don't want to make things difficult I'm sure.
Both went to their fair share of home and aways and were genuine fans for a good period, particularly Toby who I went to a good 15/20 aways with one season. They were relatively late converts to Wycombe though, they weren't "man and boy" type that always went, so not too surprising they're moved allegiances when they have such a close connection to another club now
Crikey @Malone ! Teeth and Tobes? You challenging for obscure post of the month or is it me losing touch with some of the more abstruse aspects of Wycombe knowledge?

I need enlightenment.
Whoops. I was blissfully ignorant until I read @Username’s post (obviously posted while I was dithering).
It’s coming back to me. Are they the company (Whites of Beaconsfield) whose name is emblazoned on the canopy of the terrace roof?
Are they dentists?
I feel as if I’m eavesdropping on something fairly private.
Yes and yes - of the cosmetic type.
At the bottom of Maxwell Road in Beaconsfield New Town.
I think they also own/run Menspire, the Barbers in Beaconsfield.
As well as a joint venture with Heston Blumenthals son in Naughty or Nice - the Milk/healthy Shakes shop down maxwell road.
All has become gleamingly clear.
People are going to see that there are 20 new posts, get excited, and be terribly disappointed!
Exactly that I saw a dozen or so new posts only to find ….
You never disappoint us @micra!
Bolton are about to announce their new signing and sadly the glimpse of his facial hair…it’s big Chris.
We were never going to keep Chris, unfortunately. The window to sell was last summer.
Forino to Bolton confirmed.
”welcome to Wanderers”. Could have taken the piss there. Oh well. Was always on the cards.

That’s a right kick in the nuts and no mistake. Chris Forino-Joseph is a huge loss.
Don't worry, we're going to replace him with (whoever the best defender currently out of contract is I can't be arsed to Google it) next week.
For such a regular poster you need a lot explained old son.
Shame but his injury record means we were constantly having to shuffle the back line.
Thankfully we are pretty stacked in that area with a couple of decent looking youngsters as well.
Those 15 games he plays a season are going to take some replacing.
A shame but we move on. He was good could have been a real brilliant player for us.
Thanks for the winner at Oxford away Chris, that was a good one
He’s was always injured anyway.
No, I’m not crying. You’re crying.
The only good thing about his departure is the number of times people unnecessarily referring to him as Forino-Joseph will decrease.
As Regina George once said, stop trying to make teeth boys happen.
A few stats from Chris’s last League One (46 games) season with us.
30 - Involved in 30 League Games
19 - Started 19 games
11 - Came on as substitute
17 - Full 90 mins
8 - Injured and unable to be picked
6 - Not in squad, not injured
2 - In squad and remained on bench
43.33% - Percentage of minutes played of the 46 games.
Will be sorry to see big Chris leave as he was a valuable member of the squad.
Third choice CB for the vast majority of the season when Low and Taf fit.
