However, in match seven, the trip to County Ground, Derby Robert Smalley was injured so Jolliffe got the chance to make his Football League debut.
Derby County were described as a "poor side" by the commentators of that time and James Costley soon put Everton ahead.
As the half wore on Derby County improved and Jolliffe conceded his first League goal to William Chatterton.
The second half was more of the same however before Alex McKinnon put Everton 3-1 up Jolliffe made a fine save from Lawrence Plackett.
He got his second chance to play when Robert Smalley was injured for the second time that season, after the defeat to Preston North End.
