Someone say Recruitment Plans? 👀

Oh, yes!

I'm bringing the launch of "Season Two" forward a week.

First pieces will be up MONDAY 27th APRIL 📰

The first half of pieces are signed and sealed ready to go up.

72 #EFL and 72 #NationalLeague pieces all in one place.

@WealdstoneFC That is an exciting job for someone. The club has got so much potential.

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

@DanTakesOnFooty STILL no Ryan Jones 🫣

That guy is ridiculously good.

The way he moves the ball is a joke.

Twinkle toes type player 🪄

Joy to watch. Be perfect for five a side.

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

I get the feeling there may well be a few happy #WorthingFC fans tonight.

#OperationFindaNewCorey starts now for The Rebels.

More than likely that he'll be recalled in January by QPR.

For now, he's a joy to watch 🤌

Top player ✨️☕️

You spoke. We listened. 👂

📖 Cory's Woodside Story continues...

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

I remember the first time I saw Rene.

A friendly at home vs Burnley.

He got the ball on the edge of the box.

He smashed it into the top stanchion.

Almost broke the crossbar.

A sign of things to come.

Unplayable 🤌

Best #9 I've seen at Plainmoor.

HBD @JermaineRene86 💛

🥳| Happy 40th Birthday Rene Howe (@JermaineRene86)!

@JayKhfc Paul is as honest as they come.
No glossing it up for the sake of it. Fans see through BS.
He is working with what he has got and doing a bloody good job at it too, I may add!
Back the bloke and get him a few more players. It will make all the difference if he can.
#KHFC 🦅

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

At least we're top of one league 🫣

Great support, Yellows! 💛

I'm a tad surprised no #KHFC vs #DRFC.

A fair possibility of an upset for Harriers.

I think it'll be a good cup tie.

Would've been much needed 💰 for Harriers coffers.

A missed opportunity, I feel.

@rickyleegriffi If it was at Alvechurch, it probably would've been on the TV. They'll get a nice pay day at Argyle with a packed out Home Park.

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

@MarkNealOx On the TV. Oh, good... 😨

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

Oxford City at home, and Plymouth Parkway on the TV.

Future #TUFC gaffer Tim Sills' Wimborne Town picked for TV, too.

Credit the TV company - picking #NonLeague sides on the TV. Some big pay days! 💰

Club Statement 📝

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

How do you follow Woody?

I always talk about "fit" for a manager.

✅️Success in L1 with #CAFC
✅️Similar principles / style
✅️Experience of the league
✅️A good man-manager
✅️Strong contacts in SE Area

I think Lee Bowyer could be an option.

@DansTableTennis Can you turn the Titanic around? 🤐

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

A frankly worrying stat here.

Torquay United have only won ONCE in the league against 11 men all season.

ONCE 😬

We're almost in November.

Damning.

@fslconsult Did you self publish the other three, Dave?

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

@Itshaber I agree with all of that, but:

NONE of that stops players being able to complete a 5 yard pass, mark a man and run.

If you can't even do the basics, it does not matter how many players you sign.

If you're doing the basics and just pull up short, that's different.

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

@Erdem_Konyar @crawleytown Good luck, Erdem. Not as many as intensely passionate for the game as you. A pleasure to have got to know you and wish you well for wherever your next chapter takes you.

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

@JamieTarrant @NonLeagueApps #AwayDayBudget looks brilliant.

I'll definitely be using 👍

[Off The Line Blog @OffTheLineBlog]

I'd be all over Stuart Maynard if I were Crawley.

A SE based coached with contacts to local clubs.

A track record of doing well at Wealdstone and York.

A pragmatic coach that plays good football.

I think he deserves to get a League Two side.

My pick for #TownTeamTogether.

[Crawley Town FC @crawleytown]
