Wycombe goalkeeper David Stockdale has revealed that he’d rather concede a goal in every game if it meant Wanderers were promoted back to the Championship.

The former Premier League keeper kept his 15th clean sheet of the season in the recent 0-0 draw away at Portsmouth, which was the Chairboys’ fourth in five matches.

This comes after the Adams Park outfit kept just one in the previous seven.

Speaking after the draw at Fratton Park, he said: “I’d take a goal in every game if it meant we were promoted.

“At the end of the day, [keeping clean sheets] is just a stat that no-one reads as people are interested in the goal scorers, but for us, it is important as it keeps things going, it gives us a platform for promotion.”

The ex-Fulham, Leicester City, and Brighton & Hove Albion keeper also praised the centre back partnership of Anthony Stewart and Ryan Tafazolli who also played a blinder in the draw on the south coast.

He added: “The guys in front of me have been brilliant all season.

“We went through a bit of a bumpy stage but that could happen.

“It’s a 46 game season and these leagues are tough.

“But we showed today that even though things are not going your way, we’re still putting bodies in the way and for them not to have a shot on target at Fratton Park is massive.”

Stockdale has played 62 times for Wanderers across three separate spells.
