Liam Lawrence focused on Town's next test
Returning captain Liam Lawrence insists Shrewsbury Town must remain focused as they prepare to get back to league action against Southend United.
Tuesday night's heroic win against Championship side Norwich saw Micky Mellon's side reach the last 16 of the Capital One Cup for the first time since 1987.
And while Lawrence said it was important the team enjoyed the win, he said the focus after the game was immediately switched to Saturday's game at Roots Hall.
He said: "As soon as we got in the dressing room we said it's now all about Southend tomorrow.
"We have set our standards now with the performances we have shown in the cup and we have to go to Southend and produce the same again.
"We played very well against Norwich and deserved the win.
"It gives us a great deal of confidence and we have to take that into the Southend game because that is a massive game after we only drew against Newport County."
Lawrence returned to the side after only making the bench in the past few weeks following his red card against Northampton.
And the skipper, who sent in the free-kick which led to James Collins' winning goal, said he was delighted to be back playing.
He said: "I'm very happy to be back in the team and happy to have got a run-out. After 70 minutes I looked at the clock because my groins were a bit stiff but it will do me the world of good.
"It was great to be involved in the goal and we are all really pleased Collins has scored. He's a boy who always gets chances fall to him and he just needed to take one which he did."
Lawrence admitted Southend, managed by former Hull boss Phil Brown, will pose a different test to Norwich with the captain saying it's important Shrewsbury stand up to the challenges of League Two.
He said: "We do seem to play well against the good football sides, which Norwich are.
"I looked at their team sheet and they had the likes of Steven Whittaker, Kyle Lafferty, Carlos Cuéllar and Gary Hooper.
"We need to drill it into the lads what to do when it does become a long ball game and when teams try to beat us up. We need to be firm, still play our stuff, but make sure we find a way to win."
