Mansfield Town vs Stockport County Player To Watch - Louie Barry

Louie has started this season on fire for Stockport County and we would expect him to have a similar performance in this game against what is a weak Mansfield Town side - especially defensively.

Barry has scored 3 goals in the opening 3 games. And all of his goals have been screamers at that.

Constantly finding himself in good positions, if he can do the same again in this game he will surely be unbeatable.
