Joe to give his all for Rovers

Last updated : 15 May 2007 By Michael Morris
The young full back has been on loan at the Memorial Ground since February and has helped Rovers make a late surge into the League 2 play offs. He played in the first leg home win over Lincoln and will be doing his best for the club at Sincil Bank in the second leg. Then his loan spell ends and if the club make it to Wembley he will not be able to play. He was also unable to play in Rovers' LDV defeat at the Millennium Stadium against Doncaster.

"We've got to get there first and make sure we finish the job off at Lincoln on Thursday," said Jacobson.

"But if we do make it, my loan will be up and I won't be able to play in the final.

"I was at the Millennium Stadium cheering the lads on for the Trophy final and I'd be at Wembley too supporting them all the way.

"I knew I'd be in this position if we did make it, but there's nothing I can do about it.

"But I'm still going to go out and do everything I can to make sure the other boys get there. I'll be giving my all.

"If we do make it, then of course I'll be disappointed to miss out on playing at Wembley - but it will be fantastic for the team to be in the final.

"It's been a bit of an eventful time since I've been here and I've loved every minute of it. It's just a shame that I couldn't play in the two really big games.

"When I first came down here and spoke to Lennie Lawrence and Paul Trollope, they told me to show them what I'm about and try and get in the team, play a few games and help the side get up the table.

"I've played 12 games now and I'd like to think I have shown people what I can do and I've helped to get the team in the position they are now."

Jacobsen will return to Cardiff where his future is uncertain.

"I don't know what's going to happen in the future and I need to sit down and talk to Cardiff.

"I am learning and gaining experience with Rovers and I'd love to think I can do well when I go back to Cardiff," he said.

"My aim, of course, is to break into the first team with Cardiff and help them to promotion."

But if there's nothing happening there for me, we'll have to see."
