Kieran McKenna does not feel Ipswich Town's FA Cup loss to Wrexham will have any bearing on the league meeting between the sides this weekend.
Josh Windass notched the only goal of the game as the Red Dragons beat the Tractor Boys 1-0 in the fourth round cup encounter at Stok Cae Ras on Friday night.
The two sides meet again in north Wales in the Championship on Saturday (15:00 GMT), and Town boss McKenna hopes the experience of being at Wrexham's home so recently can at least prove beneficial for his troops.
Asked if the cup contest will have any bearing on the upcoming league fixture, McKenna said: "In reality I probably don't think so.
"It's good to have been up here, first time at this ground, for myself, a lot of the players and the staff as well, so that's always useful.
"We know Wrexham are a good team anyway but we felt some of their strengths tonight.
"We have a week to prepare and we need to come up here and deliver a real good performance to get the result we want."
McKenna made 10 changes to his side for the FA Cup defeat but will likely field his strongest possible team in the Championship this weekend as Ipswich remain in pursuit of automatic promotion to the Premier League.
The Northern Irishman hopes his side will benefit in the long run from giving some fringe players game time against Wrexham in the FA Cup.
"If you go out and make the changes, you have to win your next league game, then there won't be too many questions," he said.
"For me, you look at the scheduling and look at where we would fit in the games for an FA Cup run, to be honest it was really hard to see how that wouldn't be to the detriment of the group.
"Having said that, we're competitive people, it's a proud football club and there was a fantastic support here tonight (in the FA Cup) so we tried to balance those goals with going through in the tie.
"The players tried, we went to the last second with it and we're really disappointed for the supporters, especially those who travelled, that we weren't able to give them a result.
"With the schedule how it is, having a clear focus on the league, we have two games a week every week up until the middle of April so the group is going to be really important.
"We've got minutes into the boys with no injuries and I think that will set us up better for the nine games in four weeks that we have coming up than if we hadn't have given those opportunities."
