He made his first start on 22 August in Cardiff's surprise defeat at home to League Two side Barnet in the Football League Cup, and was voted Man of The Match by the local press.[https://archive.today/20120715013735/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/jpost/access/1260163741.html?dids=1260163741:1260163741&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Apr+22,+2007&author=JOSH+NASON&pub=Jerusalem+Post&desc=The+Bristol+Rovers'+Joe+Jacobson+is+one-of-a-kind&pqatl=google "The Bristol Rovers' Joe Jacobson is one-of-a-kind"], The Jerusalem Post
In November 2006 the Torquay-based newspaper the Herald Express reported that Jacobson was likely to sign for Torquay United on loan, a story backed up by the team's official website. However, the move fell through when Torquay failed to loan Martin Phillips to Exeter City and Torquay chairman Chris Roberts refused to sanction the deal.{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/t/torquay_united/6148464.stm|title=Jacobson's loan switch collapses|date=16 November 2006|publisher=BBC News}} He joined Accrington Stanley on loan and started their Football League Two match away at Grimsby on 25 November, followed by a Football League Trophy quarter-final tie away at League One club Doncaster Rovers on the following Tuesday.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/lancashire/content/articles/2006/11/24/acc_new_signings_251106.shtml|title=Stanley's new signings}}

Jacobson was the subject of controversy after executing a tackle on Kieron Dyer during a second round League Cup match against West Ham United on 28 August 2007. The tackle broke Dyer's tibia and fibula bones in his right leg, rendering him unavailable for both domestic and international selection. West Ham's manager Alan Curbishley, was furious initially accusing Jacobson of conducting himself maliciously, however this was dismissed with a written apology to Jacobson when Curbishley saw the tackle again.BBC (2007) [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6967762.stm Curbishley fury at Dyer leg break], 29 August.
