Colchester United boss Phil Parkinson has warned his troops that despite taking the scalp of Sheffield Wednesday they are in for a tougher test tonight against Stockport County.

The U's enjoyed a memorable 3-0 success at Hillsborough on Saturday but a cautious Parky told the Evening Gazette: "We're going to have to be at the races tonight if we want to win.

"We were pleased with the result on Saturday, but Stockport are going to be a tougher egg to crack.

"They have made some good signings over the summer and brought together a strong side.

"We will use the performance we put in against Sheffield Wednesday as a confidence-booster, but we must not think we can go out and win it just like that.

"It's going to be hard work as Stockport have the potential to be a top-six side.

"Wednesday, though, have given us a good test."
