Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield has once again praised the attitude of Jasper Pattenden following his emergence into the first team.
The 21-year-old has started the last four games in all competitions which has seen the Chairboys win three times and keep two clean sheets.

“I’m proud of the way he’s shown resilience.
“He’s had people in front of him and there have been types where he’s been frustrated.

“Fair play to him.”
