Trevor Geer today called for Eastbourne Eagles fans to keep showing patience with teenage prospect Lewis Bridger as he feels his way into his second professional season.
Geer said: "Lewis is still learning, still making mistakes. He's still only 17 and we shoudn't put too much pressure on him."
Eagles star David Norris has a guest booking for Ipswich tonight as they host Coventry in the Elite League.
