Wycombe Wanderers manager has praised the maturity of winger Anis Mehmeti as he continues to make strides in the Chairboys’ starting 11.

The Albanian has started the last seven matches for the Adams Park outfit and has scored three goals in that time, which included a brace against Cambridge United on March 1: the first game of their current seven-game unbeaten run.

His rich vein of form has come at the right time of the season as Wanderers aim for a place in the play-offs, but the 21-year-old has had to learn to improve on his maturity when playing.

Mehmeti was banned for three games at the start of the season for violent conduct in the Chairboys’ 3-1 away loss at Sunderland, before he was dropped for the following four matches after his suspension.

But seven goals in 37 matches so far this season has made him a name stay in Gareth Ainsworth’s starting 11.

The boss said: “He has learnt a lot and that’s from life lessons.

“I always say to the boys that you’re allowed to make a mistake but if it becomes a reoccurrence, then it is something I need to deal with.

“Everyone can make mistakes, I have made some but it’s about learning from them and not to make the same one twice.

“I am always talking to the players, and I have had one-on-one chats with Anis, telling him how well he has done, how I think he can do better and he has matured.

“My biggest thing is the mental health of players as that’s my go to when I try and recruit players.

“The mental side is enormous.”

Ainsworth has also continue to sing the praises of centre back Chris Forino, following his faultless display against Cambridge.

He deputised for Anthony Stewart, who missed out altogether due to an injury,

Ainsworth added: “Chris is going to be a big asset for this club and I think he will play at a very high level.

“He is already playing at a high level but I am talking about within the next two steps, as he has got a chance to make it.

“He needs to learn a bit more about the game but we’re teaching him and I am sure we will have a fantastic player, just like Anis is currently and some of the other younger boys.

“It’s great to see the youngsters do well and they are holding their own.

“The Couhigs have backed me as they have allowed me to bring in who I would like to bring in, and we’re shaping this club for the future.”

On Stewart, he added: “He is OK.

“We will assess him and see where he is for the next game.

“He just missed out through something he picked up on Saturday [against Doncaster].”
