After a tentative start to his months loan, Jake Livermore impressed Rams boss, Nigel Clough.
The 19 year old midfielder is only on loan until the end of the month but Clough has seen enough for him to seek a further loan of Livermore until Christmas at least.
If the loan is not increased then Livermore will only have been able to play in two of the Rams games. This is due to two red cards he received during last season with Tottenham's reserves and the consequent ban.
Clough is hoping that Livermore will help the Rams to hold on to the Brian Clough trophy, which will again be played for when Derby travel down Brian Clough way (A52) to play Forest in this weekends much awaited first clash of the season...
