Wrexham have 'good chance' of play-offs - Scarr
- Published
Dan Scarr believes Wrexham have a "good chance" of reaching the Championship play-offs this season as they look to extend their three-game unbeaten league run at Portsmouth tonight (20:00 GMT).
The Red Dragons have taken seven points from a possible nine since losing 1-0 at Stoke City, a run that has seen them move within striking distance of the second tier's top six.
And defender Scarr believes his side's performances against high-flyers Middlesbrough and Coventry City prove Wrexham can compete with the best in the division.
When asked if the squad believe they can challenge for a play-off berth, Scarr said: "One hundred percent. We've faced the top two sides in the league and we've had positive performances from them - I don't think we've got anything to fear.
"I think if we can try and stay solid, it'll give us a foundation to build from and if we start being even more clinical than we were on Friday night (against Coventry), I think we can have a good chance."
The defender added: "When you come into the league, there's a lot of good teams and good players so you always have to give the opposition a level of respect.
"But sometimes the game suits getting after the team we've played. The Friday night one, and probably Middlesbrough as well, suited that - that's what we needed to do."
Scarr: Wrexham have 'good chance' at play-offs
Scarr has had to be patient for game time this season, with the 30-year-old's start against Coventry being his first in the league this term.
But the centre-back admits the increased competition for places has helped to lift the levels at the club.
"We've signed some really good players all over the pitch, they've all been good additions," he added.
"Defensive-wise, we've got a lot of good, solid defenders which is good competition.
"It can be frustrating at times on a personal note for everyone who's not involved because everyone wants to play every game.
"But I think you need that level of competition, that's what makes you train hard, stay hungry and ready for when you're called on."
