'Stacked' Wrexham targeting play-offs - Moore

Kieffer Moore netted his first hat-trick since August 2018

Hat-trick hero Kieffer Moore believes Wrexham are capable of challenging for a Championship play-off spot this season.

Striker Moore netted three goals in the space of 23 second-half minutes as Phil Parkinson's side ended Coventry City's unbeaten start to the league campaign on Friday night.

Victory lifted the Red Dragons to 11th in the table, and Moore - who has netted nine times for Wrexham in all competitions this season - believes the Welsh club are blessed with talent in every area of their squad.

"You only needed to look at the squad we've assembled, a lot of these lads have been playing at the top end of this league for years and a couple of us have played in the league above," said the 33-year-old.

"We're stacked in every position, we've got quality everywhere. Then you look at the league itself. I look at this team and say we can 100% be in those play-off positions.

"Who knows what can happen. For us as a team, we need to keep grounded, bring an intensity, work-rate and togetherness every time we step on the pitch and see where that takes us."

Josh Windass assisted each of Moore's three goals against Coventry as Wrexham earned back-to-back home wins in the league for the first time this season.

Windass, who previously played with Moore at Wigan Athletic, feels Wrexham reaped the rewards of being more assertive against Frank Lampard's table-toppers.

"With the last few (games), I think we've shown teams a little bit too much respect, sitting off a little bit. We pressed a lot higher tonight and were more aggressive. I thought we dominated from start to finish," the 31-year-old said.

"We've got some of the best players in their positions in the division in my opinion.

"We have to show that. Instead of letting teams dominate us, we can be more assertive. We didn't let Coventry breathe for a moment."

Windass' trio of assists means he now has seven goal involvements in 10 Championship appearances this season.

Having seen Wrexham rise into the top half of the table, Windass stressed that he and the club's other summer signings moved to the Stok Cae Ras to compete with the Championship's best.

"We want to have success in this division," he added.

"That's what I'd assume all of the lads have signed here to do, to be at the top end of this league."
