The knee injury he got before Christmas seems to be affecting him still. Hasn't been able to train regularly and got an injection into his knee recently.
Still has some decent stats in the league (9 goals and 7 assists) playing in a poor Lincoln team. They lost a few players in the summer and never replaced them.
Third goal in his fifth game since the international break. His 11th league goal of the season which equals last season. Not bad going when you consider the issue with his knee and playing in a weaker team.
Coming into the last year of his contract and Lincoln might look to cash in on him in the summer. Teams could be put off with spending money on him in the summer if his knee is still an issue.
Scully to me is a strange one. He is on the bench quite a bit for Lincoln and hes never impressed me any time Ive seen him play, but his goals record is brilliant.
First of the season for Scully, scoring Lincoln's final goal in their 3-0 win over Doncaster Rovers: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62387997
Scored his second goal of the EFL Cup and third overall of the season against Barrow, also scoring his penalty in Lincoln's victorious shoot-out: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62558089
Is still being linked to Championship teams and is in the last year of his contract at Lincoln, so might be one that moves up a division before the window closes. Scores goals and a lot of teams are looking for goalscorers.
Don't think Lincoln would sell him given they'll likely be down around the bottom half of the league again this season. Will need Scullys goals and assists to avoid being drawn into a relegation battle.
Also had his injury issues last season so Championship clubs monitoring him might wait till January. Purse strings are tight with most championship clubs operating in loans and free transfers this season.
Scully with a deadline day move to Wigan.

I wonder what Scully's New Year resolution is? After 85 League 1 appearances, 25 goals and 13 assists, he moved to Wigan on 1st September last. So far in 2022/23 he has had a total of 31 minutes of Championship football, all off the bench of course.
Unused sub for the away FA Cup draw at Luton. Time to look for a loan move?
A competent busy player, and can make goals too. Would be a good league one signing for another club if available. Never of international standard though despite the repetitive clamoring on here for him to be included. Let’s strive to be better than 3rd division football
According to Darren Witcoop (Sunday Mirror), Scully (23) is free to leave Wigan after his injury-hit season (and Wigan's impending relegation, I guess); Lincoln City keen to have him back.
Had forgotten about this guy actually. Four sub appearances totalling 31 minutes since moving in September. Ouchie.
Starts for Wigan today, in final game of the season, v Rotherham; Kelly and Kioso on the bench for the Millers.

Added to Portsmouth's summer Irish recruitment (Conor Shaughnessy, Terry Devlin) when he signed for them last week. (Portsmouth FC website).
How do you keep on top of all these news items btw?!
(They're very much appreciated though!)
Should be a good replacement for Curtis. Bet he's regretting making that move to Wigan now. Could have waited till the summer when his contract was up and probably have gotten a better offer than Portsmouth.
Thank you. I keep an eye on BBC Football, google some individual players, monitor some club websites - and a news aggregation service. I get so much info and enjoyment from Foot.ie that I just try to contribute something in return. As you will have gathered, I have particular sympathy for good servants of Ireland who are in the twilight of their careers.
