Tobi Oluwayemi is confident Dunfermline can find a vital league win against Airdrieonians this weekend if they can replicate their midweek SPFL Trust Trophy win.
But the 21-year-old said he isn't focusing too much on their respective league positions as the Championship's bottom two clubs prepare to face off at KDM Group East End Park.
The on-loan Celtic goalkeeper recorded his fifth clean sheet in nine Pars appearances during Tuesday's win over League One Alloa Athletic which, not only put them into the semi-finals of the SPFL Trust Trophy, where they will play Livingston in January, but saw them bounce back from Saturday's league loss at Queen's Park.
Dunfermline go into the clash with the Diamonds second bottom of the table, four points ahead of their opponents, who have picked up just one point from six away matches.
Victory would extend that advantage, and could haul them out of the relegation play-off place, depending on the result Greenock Morton, two points above James McPake's side in eighth, achieve at Raith Rovers.
Oluwayemi, though, is not getting caught up too much on league placings, and believes they can take encouragement from their performance against the Wasps.
"Me personally, I don't really look into that," he told Press Sport.
"I think you go into every single football game trying to win, no matter where you are in the table, and no matter what the competition is, so nothing changes.
"I think if we keep attacking how we was, hopefully we put away the chances and we defend well and keep clean sheets, I'm sure we'll do really well on Saturday.

"I think we'll get confidence from the result today, and I think it's a big game on the weekend, but if we keep the intensity up and play how I know we can play, I'm sure we'll get the win.
"A win is always great for morale. I think on Saturday, we came up a bit short, and we looked at what we didn't do quite well and we tried to fix it today, and luckily it worked out."
The Pars were dominant in their win over Alloa, passing up a number of opportunities to make the final scoreline more comfortable, and a fairer reflection of their play.
Oluwayemi was rarely called upon, and he continued: "It's always good to get a clean sheet and go through into the semi-finals.
"When we have that many shots, and we get through that many times, you're hoping that we can score three, four, and take the game away from them, but sometimes that doesn't happen.
"As long as we defend well and keep a clean sheet, we give ourselves the best chance to win the game.
"I thought they got into good areas and we defended our box really, really well with good intensity and aggression, so I think when the defenders are defending like that, it makes my life a lot easier.
"I think I've had a couple of clean sheets.
"That's a testament to the boys as well. I can't stop everything by myself - I think the boys do most of the work for me, and I'm just there for emergencies!
"It's been nice to get clean sheets, but the most important thing is wins."
