The guy is 20 and hasn't made any impact at all. Two 90th minute sub appearances. Compare this with other youth players' ages who made 15+ appearances in their breakthrough season: Jacobs - 19 Johnson - 19 McWilliams - 19 Toney - 18 Chambers - 18 He's older than all of them and is now playing in the 8th tier. I want him to succeed, and am not saying that at 20 he is too old to break into the team, but realistically don't see it happening. He signed a professional contract in May'17 (2 years?) I'll be amazed if he gets it renewed. The guy is 20 and hasn't made any impact at all. Two 90th minute sub appearances.

Joe is an exceptional finisher. Been hampered with injuries in the past 2 years. Would be a mistake to let him go but this is NTFC so probably will happen.

When KVV leaves Icao has to come back if we don't get anyone else in.

His loan finished today so surely he's worth a punt up front in Checkatrade game next week.... A goalscorer is a goalscorer at any level...

Yes indeed. Whatever happened to that 60 goal a season man Leon Lobjoit?

Iaciofano has to be given his chance. Offers something different to KvV and A Wiliams. Feel he would benefit from either a fit JJOT or Bowditch sliding balls through for him rather than our usual crossing style of attack.

I think you will find Joe will be moved on . Words have been exchanged and most people at the club think he is not good enough

It's a decision that will come back to bite us if true.

People inevitably get frustrated if they feel chances are not being given that are deserved . Joe just doesn’t seem to have the support at this club .

Watched him play for a few years at the academy/ youth. It's all about opinions but I will stick with mine. I think he will do well. Some players take longer to develop than others and he may be in this category but his injuries also need to be taken into account.

Ive only seen him play a couple of games but to me he looks very lightweight and not the quickest either. Happy to be proved wrong, give him a go in the Checkatrade?

I hope he does well too and proves the coaches past and present wrong . I don’t think it will be at NTFC though .

He may well go somewhere else, get a different style of coaching and just "click". I know that Steve morison has been mentioned numerous times, but seriously how many thought he'd go on to have the career he has had since leaving us? What about Ian Henderson? Couldn't hit a barn door with us...went elsewhere and now scores for fun......versus Tom Youngs who couldnt hit a barn door and could anywhere else either!
The bottom line is you just never know and can't influence what the likes of Joe will do in the future.
Our club has for a few years now been reluctant to blood the youngsters. Even in the darkest days when we were losing game after game, when players were performing badly week after week we did not put a hungry "point to prove" youngster in his place. Young Jay Williams did ok yesterday but i'm pretty sure he'll be back in the wilderness once the establish players reappear.
Give them a go.....give them a few games...see how they handle things. If they perform keep them on and develop them. If they don't then show them the door. I'm not sure how NTFC benefit from sending Joe out on loan to eigth tier AFC Mansfield if he comes back and is still overlooked.

Iaciofano - the little I've seen of him suggests he's a fox in the box type.
He'd have buried Hoskins' chance yesterday for sure

We don't know that. KC gave him a chance in the Checkatrade game against Fulham u21s. He was given 20/30 minutes - he hardly touched the ball. He ran around like a headless chicken and was eased off the ball by the defenders, he has no pace, and no strength. I would love for him to succeed but numerous managers and my own eyes suggest otherwise.
