00:00Pentoza has thrown his backing behind Kiefer Moore's ambitious aim for Wrexham to secure a spot in the Championship playoffs.

00:09The Red Dragons have experienced a mixed start in the second tier following their promotion from League One and a £33m summer spending spree.

00:20Despite lingering in the lower half of the table for much of the campaign so far, Phil Parganton's squad has shown signs of life recently,

00:27picking up several points from a string of matches.

00:31That run included their first home victory of the season and a hard-fought draw away at one of the division's top sides.

00:41Wrexham saved their best performance for a clash with unbeaten league leaders at the racecourse ground.

00:46The North Wales side produced a stunning comeback to claim a 3-2 victory over Coventry,

00:53thanks to a second-half hat-trick from Welsh International Moore.

00:56Speaking after the game, the striker said he believes Wrexham have the quality to mount a genuine play-off challenge this season.

01:04Former Wrexham captain Ben Pentoza has echoed that view, praising Moore's experience and understanding of what it takes to succeed.

01:12He knows what it takes to be right at the top of the league, Pentoza said.

01:16I was at the game and it was a cracking match.

01:18The fans needed that reaction after a poor result earlier in the week.

01:23Moore delivered with a hat-trick in just 23-second-half minutes.

01:29The victory temporarily lifted Wrexham up the table, though they slipped back slightly after the subsequent fixtures.

01:36Moore, however, remains convinced that the squad assembled under co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Ron McElhenney

01:41as the depth and quality to challenge.

01:44Speaking to the media, he said,

01:46You only need to look at the squad.

01:48A lot of these lads have been at the top end of this league for years and some have played in the division above.

01:56We're stacked in every position.

01:58We've got quality everywhere.

02:00I can 100% see us in those play-off positions.

02:03With momentum building and star players hitting form,

02:06Wrexham are sending a clear message.

02:09They are determined to make their mark in the championship.
