- Wrexham can use hate to their advantage
- Moore believes "pressure is privilege"
- Hollywood-backed side yet to win in Championship
Moore has spoken out about how the Red Dragons can use online criticism from rivals to their advantage as they look to make an impact on the Championship following a third successive promotion. As per ESPN, Moore said that he knows there are people who want Wrexham to fail and this only fuels the club to want to prove their doubters wrong.
Wrexham let a two goal lead slip against crisis club Sheffield Wednesday to draw 2-2 on Saturday in a result which may have worried some fans after spirited single-goal defeats to promotion hopefuls Southampton and West Brom. Having spent over£25million ($33m) on new signings such as Moore, Nathan Broadhead and Callum Doyle, the pressure is on but the reality is that the new faces may need some time to settle in.
Moore said: “Of course, us players and staff know that [there is an anti-Wrexham feeling from some rival fans]. It’s something we can use really. Pressure is a privilege, to have that on your shoulders and to wear the shirt is a massive honour.
“Each and every person will use that to improve the team and the results will come. I can promise that. I know what this club wants to achieve and we’re all working really hard to do that.”
Further new signings may be on the way before the transfer window is over, including Wales international Jordan James, who plays for Ligue 1 club Rennes and has become a reported midfield target. Wrexham will aim to have a big season but a solid foundation is the first step following a summer of change. All eyes will certainly be on Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s side this season no matter what happens on the pitch.
