City Boss Supporting Lee Burge

Last updated : 09 September 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City Manager Tony Mowbray is backing Lee Burge after BBC Coventry & Warwickshire received a number of calls to their after match phone in slating him.

Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “We have to be supportive of all our young players and the fact is that Lee Burge is part of a team that is second in the league so he must be doing a reasonable job.

“His handling wasn’t perfect and that’s something he will have to work on but he made an excellent save from a shot that could have cost us two points on the day.

“People are entitled to their opinions and I am absolutely interested in what our fans think but I can’t pick my team on the basis of callers saying that this player is not up to it or that player is terrible.

“One man has to make the decisions and that’s me because that’s what I’m paid for – and if I get too many decisions wrong then I lose my job.”
