The midfielder made his first start at Luton at the weekend since the defeat at Cheltenham at the end of August & impressed as The Alex gained a valuable draw at the much-fancied Hatters.

Bingham came into the side after James Jones left the camp to link-up with Scotland Under 21’s for their double-header & the boss has hinted that Jonah may have a battle on his hands to get back into the side. 

Steve said: “Billy did well on Saturday & has done enough to keep his place. I don’t envisage any changes in that department.

“I told Jonah before he left that I was pleased for him getting the call-up, but that he could come back & not have a place. He understood that & said it’s fine & that he was prepared to fight for his place.

“That’s the sort of attitude we want, but he understood by going & being away that if somebody came into the side & did well then they would stay in the team.

“That’s just me. I always think that if you play well then you deserve to stay in the team. I have no favouritism with anybody.”
