Last updated : 08 November 2014 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has praised goalkeeper Lee Burge.

Pressley said to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner about Burge: “I think he’s done well. “There was one small mistake in the first half against Peterborough but he reacted to that well.

"That’s really important – young keepers will always make mistakes but it’s how they react that counts and I thought he acquitted himself very well at Orient.

“He didn’t have too many saves to make but his handling was very good and he was confident.

“A great deal of credit goes to Steve Ogrizovic who has moulded him over the last nine years. I think technically he’s a very good goalkeeper and I’m excited by Lee Burge who, given time and the opportunity can develop into a really good quality goalkeeper here.

“He’s got a great mentor who has helped him develop both mentally and technically. We have also got Reece Charles-Cook earning rave reviews at Nuneaton so it’s a healthy position and bodes well for the future.”
