No, just not good enough for the bench!

Scored against Newcastle reserves not long ago.

I think his non inclusion comes from a flakey sub appearance in Hignetts first game at home to Yeovil. He was as lazy as fook at 2-0 up as the lad crossed from his side to score late in the game.

I still have hope for him as a Pools player he clearly has ability hopefully the current regime will get the best out of him, this non inclusion might just be the start of that as he does appear to be a laid back lad who possibly does need a kick up the arse.

Since the Yeovil game I think Bingham has only actually been on the bench once at Luton (unused) That's after getting on the pitch after an hour of his first game.

He's massively disappointed me but still think there is something there and hopefully Hignett is the man to get it out of him.

I can't believe the difference between his loan spell / the start of the season and now. Just a different player. I can see why Mansfield let him go. Gutted because he really was the dog's nuts when he was in form.
