So will he be good enough?

I love that bit. Tim will be another body. Tim won't strengthen the pack or add another dimension to our attack whilst strengthening our defence...
Tim is just another body.

Shades of Sunday league football teams here phoning your pals up at 10.30am to come and play...

It's hardly a glowing report on the lad but i always thought he seems a solid player in defence and attack, nothing special but won't (hopefully) do anything wrong.

I agree completely.
We have signed Jonkers, we tried to sign Mason.
Can anyone tell me why the hell we don't recall Danny Sculthorpe from Cas.?
Or am I missing something ?

As I understand it, the loan contract states there is no recall for the duration of this season.

plus scully is injured, so he is no use what so ever

Because:
1. he has a broken hand (or at least a very injured hand)
2. we can't - there is no recall clause in his loan agreement.

1 thing though he might have a bit of pride and give it all hes got. Most are not doing that at the moment.

he'll be better than Hock, Hansen, Logan or Feca for the next 4 weeks.
