Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts reckons Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson should consider finding places in his starting line-up for both Kieffer Moore and Sam Smith.

After a spell out with injury, Moore returned to Parkinson's starting line-up in Tuesday's draw with Leicester City at the expense of Smith (above).

Wales international Moore has been Wrexham's first choice in attack this season and has scored 12 goals since joining from Sheffield United last summer.

Former Reading player Smith, 27, seized his chance while Moore was sidelined, scoring in three successive Championship games before the Foxes draw.

As Wrexham prepare for a trip to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, Roberts believes the Red Dragons could start with Moore and Smith in attack.

"The way Wrexham play, with five at the back, I think they could play both and it would benefit both - they would complement each other," he said on this week's Feast of Football podcast.

"Phil likes two number 10s. He likes [Josh] Windass, [Nathan] Broadhead or [Lewis] O'Brien. I think you could turn it around and just get one of those behind two centre-forwards.

"I think Kieffer Moore and Sam Smith, the old-fashioned big man, little man combination, would work really well for Wrexham."

Roberts reckons Moore and Smith would bring different qualities to Wrexham's frontline.

"They can't be as direct when Sam Smith is up front - they have got to get different quality up to him," he added.

"He has got more pace. Big Kieffer works the channels well but I think Sam Smith does it better."
