Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth has praised the performance of goalkeeper Max Stryjek following the Chairboys’ 3-0 away win at Peterborough United.
The 26-year-old was on hand to deny Ricky Jade-Jones on two occasions, which included preventing the striker from scoring via a one-on-one in the first-half.

He also produced a brilliant block to stop Kwame Poku from equalising for the Posh just five minutes into the second period, with the score at 1-0.
Stryjek has now kept 10 clean sheets in 24 games for Wycombe since joining the club in August, which includes five in the last eight fixtures.
Speaking on his display at London Road, Ainsworth said: “Max has done so well for us, and for a keeper who joined us a few weeks into the season, he might have got 12 or 13 clean sheets now.
41 - Jones is brilliantly denied by Strjyek via a one-on-one and from the resulting corner, Ward has his shot once again saved by Stryjek.

“The one-on-one save he made in the first-half was brilliant and I’ve not known a keeper to be so good at saving them.
“There are of course some things we would like to work on with him, but that is why we get keepers like him as we want to improve all the players that come through our doors.”
Additionally, on the two goals Lewis Wing scored in the victory, with one being a stunning free-kick, Ainsworth added: “I give him a bit of stick because he takes free-kicks at the end of training every day and he nails them.
“He is full of talent and the lads are like ‘wow’.

Since joining nearly 12 months ago, Wing has started 79 per cent of the Wanderers games he has featured in.
He has also scored seven goals for the club, with five coming in the current campaign.
The brace against Peterborough were his first strikes away from home since March, with the midfielder now scoring three goals in his last two matches.
This is after he got the winner against Bristol Rovers on Boxing Day in a 2-1 victory.
