'I’m buzzing' - Louie Marsh laps up his two-goal full debut for Chesterfield
Louie Marsh became the first Chesterfield player for 30 years to score two goals on his full debut.
His brace matched that of Andy Scott – who scored twice in a league match against York City at Saltergate in 1996 – and helped his new team to a 3-3 draw with League Two rivals Barnet.
A week ago the forward was at Sheffield United and wondering what his next move would be.
Then Chesterfield came in for him and after completing a season-long loan switch on Monday and making a brief cameo appearance against Gillingham on Tuesday night, he grabbed his chance against Barnet.
"I’m buzzing,” he told the Derbyshire Times. "I have never scored twice in a senior game before. I was hoping I’d get the hat-trick, so I’ll hopefully go for that this week.
“Obviously I was substituted, I was a bit tired and that’s understandable because this is the most football I have played in the last couple of months.”
Marsh gave a special mention to fellow newcomer Joel Randall, the other full debutant who was in the right place at the right time to nod in the stoppage time equaliser.
“Obviously we would have liked the win, that’s what everyone wants coming into a game, but having been 3-2 down so late we will take the point.
"We are a newish team with a lot of bodies coming in, so it’s on on to next week now.”
Marsh (22) is more a creator than a scorer and started the match in the three behind lone front man Fraser Bryden.
"I think I am more creative; I can do both,” he added. “In the last couple of loans I’ve not showed how good I am but this time with the little bits of quality I think I showed that and hopefully it continues.”
